彼得的周末

     Peter was busy last weekend. On Saturday morning, he went hiking with his dog. They had lots of fun. Then Peter read a book. His dog sat beside him and looked at the book, too. On Saturday afternoon, he went fishing. He waited and waited. He was so tired that he went to sleep. When he woke up, he got a big fish! On Sunday morning, he did his homework and washed his clothes. In the evening, he watched TV with his parents.

    Little Peter is a boy of nine. He began to go to school when he was six, and now he is in Grade Three. He lives not far from the school, but he is often late for class. He likes watching TV in the evening and goes to bed late, so he can't get up on time in the morning. This term, Peter's aunt works in Peter's school. She is strict with Peter，and often tells the boy to obey （遵守）the school's rules and come to school on time.

    Yesterday morning, Peter got up late. When he hurried to school  it was 8；15, His aunt was waiting for Kim at the school gate. You are ten minutes late for the first class, Peter.， His aunt said angrily, Why are you often late for class? Peter says, Every time I get to the street comer, I always see a guidepost （路标）.It says, SCHOOL—GO SLOW.

    Today is Sunday. Let me tell you the interesting children. There are twenty children in the park. After a picnic, two children are washing the dishes, three children are running, four children are jumping, five children are drawing pictures, and six children are reading books. They are all having a good time.

    "Oh, my son!" a lady cried. Her baby fell into the river. The water carried him away quickly. A man came and said, "Can you give me the clothes or shoes of your son?

    The lady gave him a pair of shoes. The man turned to his dog. He first pointed to the shoes, and then to where the child had sunk(下沉).

    The dog jumped into the river. Soon people saw him swim back with something in his mouth. When people pulled the child and the dog from the water, everyone was happy. The lady ran to her son. The child was alive! "Oh, sir. Thanks for saving my baby. I'd love to give you anything to buy the dog!"

    It seemed that the dog knew they were talking about him. He lay down beside his owner's feet and seemed to say, "Nothing shall part(分开)."
