On a Friday night, a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance （人口）of the subway station. The music was so great that people put some money into his hat.

The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it:"A George Sang has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim(认领)if．"After a while a man named George Sang ran here quickly and got back his important thing.

    The important thing was a lottery ticket(彩票). Sang bought it and won a prize of $500, 000. But when he gave $50 to the violinist for his wonderful music, he threw the lottery ticket, too. The violinist was a college student. That morning, he was going to Vienna for his education. However, when he found the ticket, he canceled the flight and returned to the entrance.

    He said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily. If I lose honesty (诚实），1 won't be happy forever."

    Black Spider（蜘蛛）was having trouble catching bugs（臭虫）in his web, while Grey Spider caught two bugs in his.

    “You are so lucky,” Black Spider said to Grey Spider. “You have two bugs while I have none. It's not fair(公平的).”

    “Everyone has lucky days and unlucky days. Let's eat the bugs together,” said Grey Spider.

    Black Spider decided to join Grey Spider for lunch.

    “You must do some special things to get lucky, is it magic?” Grey Spider whispered.

    “No, build your web!” said Black Spider. “Repair your web! Enlarge your web! Make your web wider!”

    “Is that all?”

    “Yes, build a new web!” said Grey Spider.

    After lunch, Black Spider went back and made a new web. He built his web wider. Once he was done he slept all through the night because he was very tired.

    In the morning, Black Spider was excited to see four bugs in his web. He told Grey Spider about it. Grey Spider smiled at Black Spider. “By enlarging your web, you have enlarged your possibility to catch all these bugs,” Grey Spider said. “There is chance all around us. Luck is everywhere. You need to work to make it so more good luck comes your way.”

    A well-dressed man goes into a restaurant one day. He sits down at a table near the window. A waiter comes up to him and says, “Can I help you, sir?”

    The man says, “Can I see the menu?” “Certainly.”

    The man wants a good meal and he wants a lot of nice dishes. The waiter gets them for him. The man is having his meals. At this time, a boy comes in and sits beside the man. He asks the man to give him an ice cream. The man does so.

    Now the boy is eating his ice cream. The man says, “I go out for a newspaper.” The man goes out.  After the boy eats his ice cream up, he stands up and goes to the door.

    “Excuse me. Your father doesn't give the money for the meal and your ice cream,” The waiter stops him and says.

    “Father? You are wrong. He isn't my father. I don't know him. I meet him in the street. He says he will give me an ice cream if I come here at 12 o'clock.”

    One day I went for a walk in the forest with my parents. We walked down a small road after lunch. I saw a big blue bird.

    "Look!" I called out.

    Mum and Dad didn't hear me and walked on.

    The bird was beautiful, I followed it and wanted to catch it.

    Oops! I fell over!

……

    The sky (天空) looked dark. "Was I asleep?" I thought. I knew I fell over just now. I looked around and saw a man wearing a big blue jacket.

    "Your mum and dad called Search and Rescue for help, because they couldn't find you," said the man.

    "What?" I was surprised to hear that.

    "You passed out (昏迷)," the man said. "And you looked injured."

    Oh, yes, my ankle (脚踝) looked big and I couldn't walk.

    "Don't worry. The ambulance (救护车) will arrive soon," said the man.

    "How did you find me?" I asked.

    "We let Goldie smell (闻) your jacket. Goldie followed your smell and found you," he said. Then I saw a big dog.

    The ambulance team found us soon. They took me to the ambulance. Goldie came with us.

    We got to the hospital quickly. Mum and Dad were waiting there. I had an X-ray (X光检查) of my ankle. Luckily, it wasn't broken, but I needed to stay in bed for days.

    Mum and Dad thanked everyone. And we thanked Goldie too!

    A photo of a boy who arrived at school with a head full of icicles(冰柱）has drawn widespread attention to children from poor rural families.

    Wearing only a thin jacket, Wang Fuman, 10, had braved -9C weather to travel over an hour from his village home to reach Zhuanshanbao

    Primary School in Zhaotong, Yunnan province.

    "After walking more than 4 kilometers through the freezing snow, he arrived with his hair and eyebrows completely frozen, causing laughter among his 16 classmates," said Fu Heng, the school's principal, who uploaded(上传) Wang's photos on Monday morning. Fu added that his classrooms do not have heating because of a lack of money.

    After hearing Wang's story, the Yunnan China Youth Development Foundation offered a public donation(捐赠) for children from poor families on Tuesday. It has promised to give each needy child 500 yuan ($75) to help them stay warm in winter. By 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, the provincial foundation bad collected over 300,000 yuan in public donations according to their websites.

    Wang, who has been nicknamed "Snowflake Boy"(冰花男孩）by netizen (网友),became well-known online. By Wednesday morning, his picture had been 'liked" more than 260,000 times on Sina Weibo. "Many children in cities don't have the strong willpower of this boy. I hope all his efforts will be rewarded(回报)," a netizen wrote on Sina Weibo.

    The name Fuman translates as "full of happiness", but Wang does not come from a rich family. He lives in a mud hut(土坯房) with his grandmother and elder sister, and seldom sees his parents because they are migrant workers in other cities.

    "I love school. We can have bread and milk for lunch, and we learn lots of things in class," Wang said. His village now has electricity and tap water, "and my family is getting help to build a new house close to the school", he said. "I think our life will get better."
