Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him. Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones. He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.

　　That’s what everybody wanted - that he came down. But how? Now everybody was tense(紧张), as to what would happen next! Some wanted to punish the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge（报仇）.

　　He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.

　　However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really helped him because he induced him to try his best and save himself.

　　“I should be thankful and not angry.”

　　1．What happened after he had picked a few sweet reddish mangoes?

　　A．He remained hanging helplessly on the tree.

　　B．He slipped and fell to the ground suddenly.
