Mr Henry lived in a small village with high mountains all around it． All day he worked on his farm and never went to the city． Sometimes he went to the town which is not far away to buy something，but he always walked there and never took a bus or a train． His wife died after his only daughter was born* When the girl，Ann，grew up，she left her father and went to col-lege． Four years later Ann passed all her examinations and found work in a hospital in the cap-ital． As she was busy，she had no time to go back to see her father． But she missed her father very much， So she wrote to his father and asked him to come to the capital．

When Mr Henry heard from his daughter，he was quite happy and was soon ready to set off． The next day，as soon as he got to the station，he rang Ann up and told her the train he would take． At eight in the morning the train arrived at the Capital Station． Mr Henry had spent about sixteen hours on the train． As soon as he got off，he saw his daughter standing．there to meet him． Ann ran up to him and found that her father looked pale．

"What，s the matter with you，Dad?"Ann asked in surprise． "Do you feel unwell? "Nothing，"answered Mr Henry． "I，m just not used to sitting backwards(背朝前) in the train． ""Oh，dear，"laughed the girl． "Why didn’t you exchange seats with the man opposite to you?""How can I do that?"answered Mr Henry． "No man sat opposite to me！
