Early one morning an old woman was walking from her village to the town, carrying a big sack of cabbages on her head. she was taking them to the market, where she hoped to sell them to people from the town. the road which the old woman was on a narrow one over a mountain. there was a cliftf on one side, and a wall of rock on the other . there was very little traffic at the early hour, but the old woman was walking carefuly at the side of road. she did not want to have an accident and lose her cabbages which she herself had grown.
But as she was climbing a steep hill she suddenly heard a loud ring and a bycyle came round the corner and passed her going very fast down the hill.the old woman had to jump to one side quickly, that the sack of cabbages nearly fell into the ditch.
She looked up, and saw that a young girl from the town, wearing a green trousers and red blouse, was riding the bycycle. she kept riding on without even looking round to see wheter the old woman was alright.
The old woman begin to shout "come back lady!!!", come back! you dropped something!!
The girl heard the old woman's shouts and stopped her bicyle so suddenly that she nearly fell of. then she turned and began to push the bicycle back up the hill. she had ridden quite a long way past the old woman, and the slope was steep, so she was quite hot and tired when she at last reached her again.
"what is it ? she asked. "what did I drop?
"Little lady, the old woman ansewered, "You dropped your manners.
