Balzac went to bed early but he couldn't sleep. He didn't have anything for supper.

He lived in a dirty, wet room and was often worried about food.

Balzac got up quietly, lit a lamp(点上灯) and said, 'Don't waste time, my friend! I couldn't find any money in the daytime . How can you find some in the dark?'

The man began to steal (偷) something on his bookshelf. E. But he was very poor before he became famous. F. All his friends were as poor as he was and they could not help him. G. One night it was very cold. The wind blew and it was snowing heavily. H. And he didn't know where he could get some food for the next breakfast. I. At midnight he saw a man crawl (爬)in through the broken window. J. He thought and thought, but he couldn't have a good idea.
