In town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages. Then they carried them to the city on a tractor(拖拉机). Bad luck! A lot of apples have already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price. They felt unhappy and returned to their village. “I can’t understand why we sustained losses in business while others profited(盈利),” Uncle Li asked one day. “The tractor was too small,” Uncle Wang said without thinking. “We’ll carry more apples on a truck next time!” “I agree!” said Uncle Li. “How foolish(傻的) we were!” 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 1.Why do they live in the low and broken houses? 2.Why did Uncle Li go to town? 3.Why did they decide to carry some apples to the city? 4.
