First listen and then answer the question
How did Sam get his money back?
The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost,Sam Benton,the local butcher,had lost his wallet while taking his savings to the post office.Sam was sure that the wallet must have been found by one of the villgagers,but it was not returned to him ,Three months passed,and then one morning,Sam found his wallet outside hid front door,It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it contained half the money he had lost,together with a note which said:'A thief yes but only 50 per cent a thief!'Two months later ,some more money was sent to Sam with anther note :Only 25 percent a thief now!'In time,all Sam's money was paid back in this way,The last note said:I am 100 percent honest now!'

训练任务：L0+L4
训练感想：今儿终于把这个任务完成了，感觉最近的训练有点防水，从而进步不大，深刻反思自己，不要追求过程，不只是完成任务，不只是凑天数，要实打实的做，要看到成果。继续坚持。
