Davy was a Greek. He was a graduate of Athens University. He learned a lot of things in the university. For example, the grammar teacher stressed grammatical rules in each lesson. The physics teacher drew a graph to explain gravity. Davy made progress gradually. The commencement was held in the grand hall. That was the gravest occasion Davy had ever taken part in. Each graduate behaved with gravity at it. The gracious principal made a speech. His hair had turned gray, so he put grease on it to make it shiny. Davy was assigned to the countryside. He was granted many privileges to cultivate crops. At that time, corn was the most important grain in his village. But the greedy birds kept eating it. It seemed that they took it for granted. The peasants could not bear wasting a grain of rice. To solute the problem, Davy cultivated a new kind of corn which the birds disliked its taste. The peasants were grateful to him for what he did. To show their gratitude, they gave him a big basket of grapes. A girl gave him a gold necklace of ten grams to express her love. If Davy's mother knew it from the grave, she would feel happy for him.

　　戴维是名希腊人。他是雅典大学的毕业生。他在学校里学了很多东西。比如语法老师每堂课都强调语法的规则，物理老师画图表来解释重力。戴维逐渐地取得进步。毕业典礼在豪华的大厅举行。这是戴维参加的最庄重的场合。每个毕业生都举止庄重。亲切的校长发表了演讲。他的头发已经变灰了，于是他在上面抹油让它闪亮。戴维被分配到乡下。他被给予许多特权来培育农作物。那时，玉米是他那个乡村最重要的谷物。但是贪婪的鸟儿老是吃它。看起来它们以为理所当然。农民们是无法容忍浪费一粒大米的。为了解决这个问题，戴维培育出了一种新型的不对鸟儿口味的玉米。农民们对他所做的事情非常感激。为了表达他们的感激，他们送给他一大篮子的葡萄。一个女孩还送给他一条10克重的金项链来表达爱意。如果戴维的母亲在坟墓里有知的话，她一定会为他感到高兴的。
