Once upon a time, there lived a rich man. He had a servant (\u4ec6\u4eba). He and the servant(\u4ec6\u4eba\uff09 loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house.

One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, \u201cHere are two bottles of poison (\u6bd2\u836f) and some nice food in the house. You must take of them.\u201d With these words, he went out.

When my father was getting ready for work, our house was ruled\uff08\u652f\u914d\uff09by knocks and words.
He used to come downstairs to breakfast.
The morning paper lay beside his plate. He always read the \u201cDeaths\u201d first, and then he knocked once on the table. One of my sisters brought his bread, already buttered\uff08\u6d82\u9ec4\u6cb9\uff09 for him. Usually he said nothing, but once I heard him say, \u201cI love you very much, Edith. I would love more if you buttered my bread on both sides. \u201d He read the paper all through breakfast.
Two knocks on the table meant \u201cI am ready for my tea. \u201d If a single knock followed that meant, \u201cMore bread, please. \u201d
After breakfast he said, \u201cBoots. \u201dThe paper was spread\uff08\u5c55\u5f00\uff09 for him over the back of an arm-chair. Yesterday's paper was put on the chair for his feet, and his boots were brought to him, freshly cleaned. He read standing at the same time putting on his boots. With one boot finished he said, \u201cBus. \u201d At that point one of the girls went outside to the garden gate and waited there. Her job was to stop bus when it came. It came early sometimes and it had to wait for my father. \u201cOvercoat, hat. One of my sisters had already brushed his overcoat. Now she held it open for him. Another girl came with his hat, nicely brushed. \u201cHandkerchief\uff08\u624b\u5e15\uff09, pipe\uff08\u70df\u6597\uff09. \u201dThey were brought and put, with his tobacco\uff08\u70df\u8349\uff09, into his pocket. He looked out of the window and said either \u201cWalking stick\u201d or \u201cUmbrella\u201d. It was handed to him. Ready now, he was still reading the paper. He didn't put it down until he heard the shout \u201cBus coming! \u201d Then he kissed my mother and went out. The girls breathed\uff08\u547c\u5438\uff09freely.
