Once upon a time, there was a villager who lost a hatchet¹. He suspected that his neighbour's son had stolen it.

 

Thereupon, he watched every move of the neighbour's son. He felt that his gait, his voice, and his facial² expressions were all not the same as usual. It really seemed that the hatchet had been stolen by him.

 

After a few days, the hatchet was found. It turned out to be that when he went up the hill to cut firewood³ a few days ago, he left his hatchet there.

 

The following day when he met the neighbour's son again, he noticed that his gait, his voice, and his facial expressions were not like those of a hatchet-stealer at all.

 

古时候，有个乡下人，丢失了一把斧头。他怀疑是邻居的儿子偷的。

 

于是，他处处注意邻居儿子的一举一动，总觉得他走路的样子、说话的声音、面部的表情，都跟往常不一样，斧头很像是他偷的。

 

过了几天，斧头找到了。原来，前几天，他上山砍柴的时候，把它掉在山里了。

 

第二天，他又碰见邻居的儿子，再注意看他走路的样子、说话的声音、面部的表情，却都不像是一个偷斧头的人。
