One day the three young people went for a walk while the old man rested.When they had gone, I went to the door of the house and knocked on it.The old man told me to enter, and to sit down."Thank you，" I said."I am a traveller, and I'm tired and sad. I have no family or friends.""The people that I want to have as my friends have never seen me.If they don't take me into their home, I shall be alone in the world.""Don't be so sad，" the old man said."You will find that the hearts of men are full of love. If these friends are good people, they will welcome you.""They are kind, and the best people in the world，" I said."But when they meet me, they may not see a kind creature who has helped them. Instead they may see a monster, and they will hate me.""That mustn't happen，"the old man said."My family and I have had our difficult times, and we'll help you."
