    Do you know that animals have love for each other and their children just like us humans? Let me tell you some moving stories of great animal parents.
    Several years ago a heavy rain hit a town and made the river go up. When the rain stopped, people found that a dog swam to an island in the river twice a day for two weeks. Why did she do so? Her four children were there. The mother swam there every day to feed her babies. This true story moved many people.
    Another story is about chimpanzees(猩猩). A scientist named Jane Goodall spent 4 years living with chimpanzees in Africa. She found that chimpanzees also cared for those that were hurt or got lost. “It is not only humans who have duties, animals also do,” she said.
    Two birds in Chengdu also showed their parental(父母的) love. Their baby was hurt and fell on the street in the center of the city. Cars were driving past but the brave parents rushed down to the road and took the little bird away with their claws(爪子).

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing(缝纫)or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible(可见的). Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings(缺点)? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(评判)someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

The sky was pitch- black, the house was creaking (嘎吱作响), and I still had four hours until my parents got home. I locked myself in my parents' room and I turned up the TV so that I wouldn't hear the creaking house.

Then the phone rang. I picked it up and said, "Hello… hello… ?" But there was no reply. I knew someone was on the other end. Finally, I hung up. A minute later, the phone rang again. Still no one said a word. I became more frightened (害怕的) as time passed. The phone rang again and again and again…

By the fifth time, I refused to pick up the phone, but the ringing continued. To get my mind off this strange caller, I called my friend. She told me not to worry and to turn the phone off. As we talked, I heard a car stopped in front of my house. When I looked out of the window, I saw an unfamiliar(不熟悉的) car.

Thirty minutes passed and the car was still there. It drove up and down the driveway as if knowing I was watching. ▲ , but I refused.

Soon the phone calls started again. I heard noises in the background, but I couldn't tell what they were. I really didn't want that person to get out of the car and start towards the house. If he or she did, I didn't know what I should do. None of the doors to the house was locked, and I would have no way of protecting myself. The only thing I could do was to hide, which wasn't a very good plan.

At this moment I was considering calling the policemen, but my friend offered to drive by. "Maybe if they see me come, they will leave, " she suggested.

By the time she arrived, the car had left. The phone rang again and I picked up, thinking it might be my friend. Someone on the other end said, "Bye- bye. "

When I think back to that night, I am no longer frightened — just curious (好奇的 ). Who could it have been? Even so, since then I have not stayed at home alone and I probably never will again.
