A man was visiting a rich person's house. As he went along, he saw a box of apples on the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples. The rich man will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away in the dust(尘土).

    He went on and came to a river. The river had gotten so high, and he could not get through it. He waited for some time and said," I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

    He started to go home. He had eaten no food that day. And he was very hungry. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

    Do not throw good things away. You might be happy to have them later.

    It's seven o'clock in the morning in Chennai, India Lavin always has her morning bath before school. But she doesn't have a bath at home. She has a bath in a small river outside with her best friend, a baby elephant.

    Lavin lives at Arignar Anna Zoo with her parents, brothers and sisters. Her father works at the zoo and he is a special keeper for the baby elephants. Lavin is only six years old, but she can control(控制)the elephants and she has a very special friendship with them.

    At eight o'clock in the morning, Lavin goes to school, but she doesn't go on the school bus. She rides an elephant to school. After school, Lavin plays football with her elephants.

    Now it is the evening, and the baby elephants are tired Lavin sits next to them and sings to them. Sometimes, they all sleep together-friends together in the day and friends together at night.

Are you good at learning English grammar? What do you think about learning grammar when studying a foreign language? 

I was a young English teacher in a middle school. One day, a student asked, "Mr. Lewis, what is the difference between a period（句号） and a comma（逗号）?" I hated these grammar rules and hardly understand them myself. As I looked at the textbook, I knew that even if I told this student all the different rules about commas, he wouldn't remember them. 

I was also in no mood（心情） for a long lesson. My mum had died just a few short weeks ago. I missed her so much. All I wanted to do was stay in bed, but my own young family was living a difficult life and I knew I had to take every day of work I could. 

I looked at the textbook again but couldn't read it because my eyes were so watery. All at once, however, I got an idea. "A period is the end of a sentence or a thought," I said, "A comma, on the other hand, is just a short pause（停顿） before the sentence continues on." When I finished saying this, my heart suddenly felt lighter. I smiled and thought of my mum continuing on in a place much brighter and happier than the one I was in now. 

That little moment of light helped me as I continued to miss my mum over the months and years to come. Recently I remembered it once again when I saw this sentence in a book I was reading: "Death is not a period, only a comma."

Our lives are a sentence and a story that goes on forever. Our time here is only a part of it. 

要求: （1）文章应包括所给思维导图中的所有提示内容, 可适当发挥;（2）文中不得出现真实姓名、校名等信息;（3）词数80左右（文章开头已给出, 不计入总词数）。
