阅读理解。     Three rich ladies met every day by the river. They sat there and talked the whole day. Once the three ladies
quarreled. One of them said. "Look, how white and beautiful my hands are!" Another one said, "My hands are
more beautiful." The third one said, "Mine are the most beautiful ones." An old beggar woman came up to them.
"Beautiful ladies," she said, "I"m old and can"t work, I"m hungry. Please give me something to eat."
     But the three ladies gave her nothing. They only asked, "Tell me, old woman, which one of us has the most
beautiful hands?"
