There was a folk story as follows. Edward ran a bakery. His bread had plenty of flavors. And the price of his bread fluctuated according to the people's needs. Both country folks and town folks liked his bread. Every day a flock of customers waited for his store to open. All that came to his bakery should go over a flyover first. They flattered him about his cooking. Edward would flush with embarrassment. Being shy was the only flaw in his character. As a matter of fact, Edward was very fond of cooking and foodstuff. His bakery was flourishing for four reasons. First, he focused his attention on his work. Second, he made bread with the best flour. Third, he had flexible flesh to work well. He folded the dough and then flattened it with his palms. From time to time, he used some cooling fluid to cool the dough. The last reason was, he could speak dialect fluently. One day, Edward caught a flu. He went to the riverbank to relax. The river flowed southwest to the Atlantic. It flushed after the heavy rain. A fleet was seen in the distance. Several branches floated down the river. One of them was locked by the flaw of a stone. Edward picked it up and flung it into the river. He liked to see foam on the river. The frightened fish fled away. The fog closed in so Edward went home.
如下是一个民间故事。爱德华开了一个面包店。他的面包有许多风味。并且他的面包的价格是根据人们的需要而波动的。乡下的人们和城里的人们都喜欢他的面包。每天都有一群顾客等着他的店开门。所有来他店的人都必须先经过一座立交桥。他们奉承他的烹饪技术。爱德华就会困窘地脸红起来。害羞是他性格里的惟一缺陷。事实上,爱德华非常喜欢烹饪和食品。他的面包店如此兴旺有4个原因:一、他集中注意力在工作上。二、他用最好的面粉做面包。三、他有柔韧的肌肉来卖力工作。他将面团折叠然后用手掌使它变平。—不时地,他用冷却液来冷却面团。最后一个原因是他当地方言说得很流利。一天,爱德华得了流行性感冒。他去河边放松自己。河水朝西南方向流人大西洋。它在暴雨之后奔流着。远处有一支舰队。几根树枝顺河漂浮而下。其中一根被一块石头的裂缝卡住了。爱德华拾起米然后用力地抛人河中。他喜欢看河水的泡沫。受惊吓的鱼儿逃走了。雾笼罩而来,于是爱德华回家了。
