Uncle Sam doesn't like farmer. He thinks they are very foolish¹ and only know work on the farm.

One winter morning, the sun is shining². Uncle Sam sits on the step³ of his house. At that moment, a farmer with a map in his hand comes to him.

Farmer：Excuse me, Uncle. Can you tell me know to get to the hospital, please?

Uncle Sam: Lie⁴ down in the middle of the street and you'll soon be at a hospital.

Farmer: Please set⁵ an example to me.

Uncle Sam: I think you come to our city at the first time. It's much more beautiful than the field⁶. Is that right?

Farmer: Yes, uncle. But it is built⁷ on the field.

Uncle Sam's face turns red.
