         There was a court case (官司) about this, and at it the lawyer(律师) for the other man said, " Why
    did you shoot at Mr. Robinson?"
         Mr. Grey answered, "I thought that he was a bear."

         Long long ago, a donkey(驴)  fell  into a well(井). The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to
    think out what to do.   Finally,   the farmer thought  the  animal was too old and the  well needed to be
    covered up anyway, so he decided not to save the donkey.
         The farmer  invited  his neighbours  to help him.   They began  to  shovel(铲)  dirt into the well. The
    donkey cried harder.   But a  few minutes later, he became quiet. The farmer looked into the well, and
    was surprised by what he saw.
         While every shovelful of dirt hit his back, the donkey  would shake it off and take a step on the new
    layer of dirt. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, the donkey would
    shake it off and take another step up. Soon the donkey stepped up  out of the well and ran away, to the
    surprise of all the neighbours.
         The lesson we get from this story is that if life  shovels  some dirt on us, we must get out the well and
    not let it cover us. We must learn to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a
    stepping-stone(踏脚石). We can get out of the deepest well by never giving up!
