One day Johnny heard a mother saying to her son "Come on, my boy, get up and stop crying. You are behaving like Johnny Jones." That made Johnny feel very ashamed. But he was sure that he would prefer to be known as a good boy rather than a fool. Worried, he spoke to his father about all this, though he was afraid that maybe he would be laughed at for having such worries. His father, far from laughing at Johnny, told him that a teacher had taught him a secret trick to turn him into the toughest boy off all. "Eat a candy less, study a minute more, and count to five before crying." Johnny asked, "Just that? " "Yes, just that," said his father, "It's very simple, but I warn you that it won't be easy." Johnny was happy like a bird, ready to follow the advice. He went to see his mother, and she noticed how happy he was when she offered him candies. "One candy less", thought Johnny, so he only took one. That afternoon he had another chance to put it into practice by studying one minute more. The result was that he missed the first minute of his favorite program! But having achieved this gave him a great feeling of satisfaction. The same happened when he ran up against the corner of the kitchen table. He only managed to count to four before crying, but that was left deeply in his mother's memory. Over the following days Johnny kept using the motto in his life as his father told him. And the more he put this into practice ,the easier it got.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: At the age of sixteen,I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that "our family" was living in a trailer that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks,but every time they finished one problem,another surfaced(, ). We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house--something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms,a bath and a kitchen. On Tuesday of that week, while we were eating lunch together,I asked the family's three boys,Josh,Eric and Ryan,"What do you want for your new room?"Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were astonished when Josh responded,"I just want a bed." The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding. When we saw the delivery truck coming,we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly control ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning. That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room,he observed with wideeyed enthusiasm from the doorway. As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows,Eric asked,"What is that?" "A pillow," he replied. "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask. "When you go to sleep,you put your head on it," I answered softly. Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow. "Oh...that's soft," he said,hugging it tightly. Now,when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent,my dad gently asks, "Doyouhaveapillow?" We know exactly what he means. Question: By saying "Doyouhaveapillow?", the writer's father means that _ . - what they want to get may be unnecessary - they should not waste money on small things - they should do more volunteer work for the poor - what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow
what they want to get may be unnecessary
