The sun went down when an old man came to a small mountain village with a heavy bag. He found an inn(小旅馆) and wanted to stay there for the night.
After he had gone to his room, the owner of the inn said to his wife, “Look at his heavy bag, dear! I'm sure there're a lot of valuable(贵重的) things. I want to steal it when he's asleep tonight.” “No, no,” said his wife. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he'll take you to the police station.”
They thought hard and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman. “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he'll forget to take his bag away tomorrow morning.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “don't forget it when you cook supper for him.”
The old man had the food with forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left. He looked for the bag for a long time, but he didn't find it. He hurried to wake his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn't useful at all!”
“No, no,” said the woman. “I don't think so. He must forget something.”
“Oh, I've remembered!” the owner called out suddenly, “He forgot to pay us the bill!”

Annie is a neighbor's daughter. When her birthday month came around I found out she felt blue and lonely.

Her family is quite small and kind of poor so there wouldn't be any birthday visitors. I wanted to send her a card and maybe a small gift to make her happy.

I told some of my friends I would like to have a birthday party for the girl. I asked them for help. Then I bought some small presents, a cake and something else.

When the day came, my friends and I went to her house. When she got home after school, we gave the presents to her and wished her a happy birthday.

It was so easy to do something helpful. My friends helped take the party. They still laugh and talk about it. And Annie tells me she likes the birthday very much and she can still remember it!

A farmer had a friend and his friend was famous for growing wonderful apple trees.

One day, the farmer's friend gave him a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it.

The farmer loved the gift. But when he got home, he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the apples. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the apples. Finally he planted the tree in his wood. Nobody could see it, but there was no sunlight in his wood, the tree soon died.

Later, the friend asked the farmer why he planted the tree in such a poor place. "What's the difference?" the farmer said angrily, "If I plant the tree near the road, strangers may steal the apples. If I plant the tree in one of my field, my neighbors may come at night and steal the apples. If I plant the tree near my house, my children may take the apples."

"Yes," said the friend. "but at least someone could enjoy the apples. Now no one could eat the apples, and the apple tree died!"

The story of Robinson Crusoe is known all over the world. The story is about the life of a real person. His name was Alexander Selkirk.

Selkirk was born in 1676 in Scotland. His father made shoes and clothes, but Alexander didn't want to work in his father's shop. He wanted to sail a ship on the sea.

When Selkirk was 28 years old, he was sailing on the Pacific Ocean. The ship was in a bad state. Selkirk was worried. "This ship is not safe!" he thought. He told the captain that he wanted to get off. The captain didn't like Selkirk, so he agreed. The ship took Selkirk to a small island.

Selkirk took a few things from the ship: a gun, an axe, and a few clothes. Then the ship left, and Selkirk was alone. There were no people or houses on the island. He was more than 600 kilometres from the nearest country, Chile.

He found a cave near the beach and this became his home for the first few months. In the day time, he had to leave the cave and find some food. He usually ate fish and other small sea animals. At night, he heard strange noises from the trees. He thought that there were wild animals on the island that could hurt him. He was afraid and didn't want to leave for the beach. He stayed in his cave. He was very lonely.

One day, when he woke up，he saw hundreds of sea lions on the beach. He couldn't get to the sea, so he couldn't catch any fish. He had to look for food on another part of the island. He was still afraid of the wild animals, but he was hungry! He had to go out in order not to be hungry.
