Suddenly, the bag fell off his horse onto the road. It was too heavy, so he did not know what he could do about it. He only hoped that someone would soon go by and help him. Just at that time, a man on a horse came up to him. But the farmer felt disappointed (失望 ) when he saw the man. It was a great man and he lived near there. He thought the great man wouldn’t help him, and hoped another farmer would e up.
