The rider replied, “Sure thing. Get on.” The horseman took the old man not just across the river, but to his home, which was a few miles away.

As they ncared the man's village, the horsem an asked,“Sir, I noticed that you let several other riders pass by without trying to ask for a ride. Then I came up and you asked me for a ride at once. Why? What if I had refused and left you there?”

The old man replied, “I know people pretty well. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and saw that they didn't care about me. It would have been useless(无用的) to ask them for a ride.

Passage 5

Dreaming with Clare Steven——the children's poet

Did you start to write poems because you were just bored, or because you didn't have any hobbies?

When I was about six, I was asked to read a poem to my class and I discovered two things. I liked the f oc l of words on my tongue and I liked it when people listened to me. Since then my main hobbics have always been reading, writing and acting. And sometimes I do all three at once. I write plays, poems and stories. I try to become different people and try to feel how they feel. And I don't have time to feel bored.(But if I did, I'd read another book. Or write one.)

What's your favorite place to write a pocm?

I love writing in my garden and my house(which is full of animal books and pictures). But the real answer is anywhere, anytime. I take my notebook with me wherever I go. Because you never know when a poem will come into your head.

B as being a poet your dream job?

I've had lots of interesting jobs. When I was a Saturday Girl in a hairdresser's shop, I heard some great stories. When I worked in a shoc shop. I found an idea for a story of my own. When I was a teacher, I worked in the library( Heaven!) and I had a book club for children. But bcing a po et is the best job of all, because I still can't believe I can do my favourite hobby and get paid for doing it!

Where do you get your ideas from?

I get them from life! My ideas usually come when I'm not trying to think about writing. For example, last week I found a yellow p lastic car sitting next to my car at the supermarket. All alone. Looking really sad. I think that would make a great poem.

How old were you when you wrote your first poem?

The first poem I got into the school newspaper was when I was tw elve years old. I was so pleased with myself that I wrote another one for the next newspaper. Then I couldn't stop. I just love writing stories and poems.

59. What are Clare's main hobbies?
