McDull is a cartoon pig character that was created in Hong Kong by Alice Mak and Brian Tse. Although McDull made his first appearances as a supporting character in the McMug comics, McDull has become a central character, attracting a huge following in Hong Kong.

    McDull is a male pig who can be distinguished by a birthmark on his right eye. He has a heart of gold, but he isn't very smart and ordinary in every way; nevertheless, he has many dreams.  However, every time he tries, he fails; he is disappointed, but tries again, exploring other dreams. In this way he creates his own colourful world. He lives his life simply and naturally. He is not perfect, but his attitude towards life, namely never giving up, makes him a popular character.

    The first McDull movie documented his life and the relationship between him and his mother. As in the comics, McDull is a piglet who lives with his mother, Mrs Mak, in Hong Kong. He is a kindergarten student. He has a happy school life with his classmates including geese, tortoises and other pigs. McDull and his mum love each other very much. McDull tries his best to make his mother proud of him and his mother tries hard to give McDull a happy childhood. After realizing his dream, McDull sets himself another target: to become an Olympic champion just like female windsurfer Lee Laishan.

    Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.

    But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of a London, from the smallest lane(小巷) to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.

    A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.

During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments (点心). He said. "I never drink when I'm working —- I would lose my licence"

    He normally goes home between 2 and 3 O'clock in the night. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, "That's the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don't make the money, no one is going to give it to you."

London taxi drivers not only 'take' but also 'give'. Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea— by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares(车费) all go to the 'London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children. At the sea, they are met by the mayor, and a lunch party is also held in honour of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again-- by taxi, and free of charge, of course!

    Didyou ever set up a lemonade stand (柠檬水小摊) when you were a kid？ Manyof us did and if we were very lucky, we could make enough money to buy icecream from the Good Humour Truck.

Last Saturday, Jack Yielding, a five-year-old boy from Oakville, Ontario, got $41,233from two lemonade stands and a car charity (慈善) wash. Jack gave the money to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, where Jack who has epilepsy (羊癫疯）, is a patient there.

    Thiswas Jack's second year to host the Lemonade Stand for sick kids, andthe whole town came to show their love. More than 1,000peoplecame to the lemonade stands on Saturday.

    "Jackis working hard to turn his lemons into lemonade to help his friends atToronto's Hospital for Sick Children," Jack'smother, JodiYielding, toldus.

Once, a gentleman （绅士） was traveling on a bus. ⑴He felt thirsty and got off at a station in search of water. However, before he got back to the bus, it left and he missed it. The man decided to find a place for a day's stay. He went to the nearby hotels to ask for a room but found none. 

At last he reached a small hut （小屋）. He asked the owner of the hut

⑵____he could stay in his house for a day or not. The owner agreed. On that day the owner served him food and gave him a room to stay in, but did not ask for or expect anything in return. 

⑤At night when it was about eight o'clock, the gentleman heard a knock at the door. The owner opened the door. A well—dressed man entered and asked the owner to pay his debts （债务）. 

The gentleman came to know that the owner was in need of money. The next morning he left some money and a note on the table in the room and left. 

When the owner saw the money, he found that there was also a note. It read, "You helped me but did not expect anything from me. Yesterday I heard the conversation between you and the stranger and came to know that you were in need of money. This is what you need. "

One day, Tony met his friend, Alan, in the street. Tony was quite rich, but Alan was poor, The two boys walked along the street together. 

They talked about many things. Tony liked to listen to music and he told Alan about some new songs. Alan liked reading, and he told Tony about some new books. 

They had the same friends, and they talked about these, too. Then Tony remembered something. "I lent you ten dollars last week. "he said. "Can you give it back to me?"

"I'm very sorry, Tony. " Alan said. "I forgot about it. "

 He thought about this money for a minute. 

 Then he said, "I haven't got any money with me today. I'll pay you back tomorrow. "

"All right. "Tony said, "I can wait another day. "

 At that moment a man ran up. He had a knife in his hand. Alan and Tony were afraid, 

"Give me your money. " he said to Tony. 

 Tony took out his wallet(钱包)and gave it to the thief(贼，小偷). 

 The thief took out the money and threw the wallet on to the ground. 

"Now you give me your money. " he said to Alan. 

Alan thought quickly. He took out his wallet, but he did not give it to the thief. He gave it to Tony and said, "I will return(欠)you some money, Tony. Here it is. "

Martin is my youngest son. He likes staying alone and he seldom laughs. As the boy's mother,I was 1 about him. I took him to see the doctors in many 2 , but it didn't work well.Nothing could make him happy but the recycling truck(垃圾回收车) passing by my house. Every afternoon, he raced to the front of the house, 3 for the truck.

When we were late and 4 the truck, Martin would be very disappointed. One day, I stopped the truck and 5 myself.

"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Vince."The driver greeted me in a happy voice.

"Your coming is the most 6 moment for my son,"I smiled.

After knowing our story, he said,"Can you give me your phone number? Maybe I can send you a 7 before I arrive."I exchanged my number with him at once.

Then began our 8 with Vince.

Recently, I said to him,"It's my little boy's birthday tomorrow. Could you please do 9 special for him?"

The next day, as I was standing 10 the road with Martin, we saw the green truck running down the street with a loud beep(嘟嘟声). Like a superman in a movie, Vince stopped and walked towards us with a box in his hand.

"Today is your birthday, Martin, and here's a 11 ."

He handed the box to my son. Inside, there was a green model truck like 12 . My son,surprised, looked up happily and 13 him.

After chatting for several minutes, he was about to leave for work. I tried to give him some money for his help. He kept 14 his head and refused my money, saying"Today you,tomorrow me."

I was deeply 15 by these simple words. And I have been ready to help others whenever I can. You will never know when you're going to be the one that needs help.
