22、e coughed day and night. So he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough. As he did not know much English, he got out his dictionary and looked up the word “cough”.

From these facts I was able to tell what goods the animal was carrying.”The judge and the two men were
34、satisfied with what the Arab had said.

35、？” “对极了！您看到它往哪儿去了？” 老人说：“那我可不知道。” 商人忿忿地说：“别骗我了，一定是你把我的骆驼藏起来了。要不，你怎么知道得这么详细？” 老人不紧不慢地说：“赶嘛生气呢，听我说嘛。刚才我看见路上有骆驼的脚印，右边深、左边浅，就知道骆驼的脚有点跛。我又看见路的左边有一些蜜，右边有一些米。我想骆驼驮的一定是这两样东西。我还看见骆驼啃过的树叶，上面留下了牙齿印，所以知道它缺了一颗牙齿。至于骆驼往哪儿去了，你应该顺着骆驼的脚印去找。” 商人听了，照着老人的指点一路找去，果然找到了走失的骆驼。WHATS WRONG WITH TOM?Tom was very quiet this mor
