    The strong wind started blowing into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.

    When I came back into the house, it has raining harder and harder. I tried very hard to close the window. Then I heard a loud sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what it was a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the back room.

    Mr. Ones and Mr. Brown worked in the same office. One day Mr. Jones said to Mr. Brown, “we are going to have a small party at our house next Wednesday evening. Would you and your wife like to join us?”

    Mr. Brown said, “Thank you very much. We are free that evening, I think. But I will telephone my wife and ask her. Maybe she will go somewhere else that evening.” So Mr. Brown went to the other room and telephoned. When he came back, he looked very sorry. “What is the matter?” Asked Mr. Jones. “Did you speak to your wife?”

    “No,” Answered Mr. Brown, “She wasn't there. My little son answered the telephone. I said to him “Is your mother there, David?” And he answered, “No, she's not in the house.”“ Where is she then?” I asked. “She is somewhere outside.” “What is she doing?” “She is looking for me.”

    Mark Twain was a great American writer. He was very busy, so he often forgot something.

    One day he went to a city by train. When he was in the train, the conductor(售票员)asked him for his ticket, but he couldn't find the ticket. The conductor knew Mark Twain. She said, "Show me your ticket on your way back. If you can't find it, it doesn't matter. "

    "Oh, no," said Mark Twain. "I must find the ticket. I can't find it, how can I know where I'm going?"
