The Smiths worked in a big city,and they were always busy with their own work.
This summer they decided to go to the countryside to relax themselves.They enjoyed country life very much,because the air there was fresh all the time.
One morning,when they went for a walk,they saw an old man sitting in the warm sun in front of his house.
"Do you like living in a quiet place?"Mr.Smith asked him.
The old man said, "Yes,of course."
Mr.Smith said, "What are the good things about it?"
The old man answered, "Well,everybody knows each other well.People often come and see me,and I often go and see them.And there are lots of children here."
"That's interesting." Mr.Smith said, "And what are the bad things?"
The old man thought for a minute and said, " Well,the same things,really."
