In space, there was a little gray planet. It looked very 1 , because the people who lived there hadn't looked after it. They had polluted the whole planet heavily 2 rubbish and pollution. As a result, there were few plants and animals left.

    One day, a little boy Jim was walking on the planet, when he passed a cave（山洞）and 3  a small red flower inside. The flower was very sick — almost dying, so Jim 4 dug up the flower, with roots, soil and everything. Then he started looking for a place5 care of it. He searched all over the planet, but everywhere was polluted so much that there was6 place the flower could possibly live in. Then he looked up at the moon. It seemed that maybe the plant could live there.

    Jim decided to go there. He7 a spaceship and put the little red flower in the back, then they flew to the moon. Far away from all that pollution, the flower soon grew up, giving birth to others, and these other flowers spread onto other flowers. Soon the whole moon was completely covered with flowers. When the little boy's flowers came out, the moon gave out a soft red8. It was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen.

    Maybe the story is telling us9 we don't look after the planet, a day will come when flowers can only grow on the moon. So we must be friendly to10 place that we are living in now.

It was a cold winter morning. My 12-year-old granddaughter, Jayne, sent me messages on the phone every hour during her six-hour drive to our house.

"Grandma, can you put some snow in the fridge (冰箱)? That way, I can feel snow when I get there," she wrote. Jayne lives in the south of Georgia, the US with her parents, so she never saw snow before.

"Yes, I will," I wrote. "There is still some snow on the ground in the yard." And I sent her a few photos of it. However, the weather report brought me bad news. It said the weather would be sunny at noon. This made me feel concerned.

In the afternoon, they finally arrived. Jayne got out of the car first. She ran into the yard and put her hands in the snow. She looked so excited. It was great that the sun didn't come out that day.

"Grandma, the weather is so cold, but I enjoy playing with snow," Jayne said. Then she started to build a snowman. She made two large snowballs first. They were the head and the body. It looked nice. Jayne kept playing outside until her hands got wet and cold. Watching Jayne playing in the snow made me feel warm and thankful.

I still remember the lovely cold day. Small things in our lives can also make us happy.

Last month, I spent one week traveling in Australia by car. At the end of 1 trip, I had to return the car to the car rental company(汽车租赁公司).

I could see the company's sign,2 I couldn't find the way to the parking lot. I drove around the company for about half an 3 . Finally, I decided to ask someone for help.

" Could you please tell me 4 to get to the parking lot?"I asked 5 when a man came up to me.

" Of course!" he smiled.

 Instead of simply telling 6 the direction, he got in my car to show the way.

 After guiding me to the right place, the friendly man also helped me give the car back. To show my thanks, I invited him7 a meal together. He agreed.

 Then we8 some delicious food in a restaurant nearby. We talked happily as we enjoyed our meal. Though he seemed busy, he spent several hours 9 me.

I met many friendly people in Australia, but I will never forget the warm- hearted man, who made me feel much10 during that trip. And his kindness also made me decide to try my best to help people in need just like him.
