Mr. White is 80 years old. Every morning he takes a walk in the park, and he comes back home at 12:30 for lunch. But today, a car stopped in front of (在……前面) his house at 12:00 and two police officers (警官) took Mr. White home. They said that Mr. White was lost. Mr. White's daughter thanked the police officers. After they left (离开), she asked Mr. White, “Dad, you go to the park every day. Why were you lost today?” The old man laughed like a child and said, “I was not lost, but I didn't want to walk home.”

    I was in the park with my elder sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a chair while we talked to some friends. When we went back to the chair, a girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She had some money in her hand. When she saw us, she stood up and walked away.

    I asked my sister, "Did you have any money in your jacket?"

    She said, "Yes, Anna, I did."

    I said, "Look in your jacket quickly."

    Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there.

    "That girl stole(偷) it!" I said, and we both ran after her. We caught her quickly.

    My sister was very angry and she said, "Give me the money." The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away. We both ran after her, but we lost her.

    Then we went home. But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, "You left your money at home. It's on the table in the sitting room. You must be more careful with money."

    So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief! She probably thought we were thieves! We felt terrible.

    Please telephone us if you know this girl! We are very sorry for our mistake. We would like to say sorry to her and give the money back to her.

    Our number is 512667. My name is Anna.

    This morning I woke up being a little bit worried. Too many unlucky things happened and I needed to make many decisions. I decided to go for a walk and tried to relax. On the way, I kept repeating to myself," Don't stop being kind. Others may have worse situations than me." I already felt better when walking in the park enjoying the beautiful trees and the smiles to and from strangers. I decided to go shopping on my way back.

    After paying. I sat-down for a while and got a coffee. An elderly man sat next to me and started talking very loudly. I noticed that he had hearing aids(助听器)in both cars. He had a coffee too. I tried talking with him, but I realized he could not under-stand anything. I stayed anyway and he told me about his difficulties with hearing, his son who worked in the supermarket and that he was at the age of 89! He felt happy to still be able to do the shopping on his own.

    He said he liked talking to people and he apologized many times. I told him it was lovely to talk to him and after a while I said goodbye, shook his hands and wished him a good day. He was so happy and grateful(感激的).He thanked me many times and the last thing he said was" Thank you for listening". I thought the whole point was" I just stayed and listened".
