    A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbour. Within a few days the whole neighbourhood knew the story. The neighbour was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible (负责) for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.
   “Go to the marketplace,” he said. “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck (拔) its feathers and drop them one by one along the road. ” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
   The next day the wise man said, “ Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me. ”
The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
   “ You see, ” said the old man, “it's easy to drop them, but it's impossible to get them back . So it is with gossip. It doesn't take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”

    We often hear stories of animals rescuing people.But now someone has managed to return the favor.

    The event took place one snowy January morning Thomas Smith was walking his dog,Jack,in the park."As I was walking,I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle,and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out,"said Smith.He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog."someone else told me the lake was only one﹣meter deep,but it was at least twice that.I had to break my way through the 6﹣cm ice.Finally,I got Jack by the neck,and pulled him out.I don't think I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land.And when we got there,everyone was asking if Jack was okay﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣no one was particularly worried,about me!"

    A neighbor,Julie Brown,saw it all happen."The dog went onto an icy lake.All of a sudden,it started to go under.There were crowds of people around,and they were all shouting and screaming.Before I knew it,the owner Smith was in the water forcing his way through the ice.I can't begin to imagine how cold it was.Everyone was very nervous,but he was as cool as a cucumber﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣he just crawled back out,put the dog on its lead,and went home."

    Many regard him as a hero,but Mr.Smith is quite laid﹣back about it."Most dog owners are the same as me.They would do what I did without a second thought.But in the future,I'm going to make sure he's on lead near any ice ponds,Pets are members of our family.Would you do the same for them?

Ye Lianping is a 96- year- old re tired teacher from a village in Anhui Province. He has been teaching left- behind children there for free during the past 24 years. 

Teaching has always been an important part of Ye's life. After he retired, he began offering free English- language classes to left- behind children. He first set up a classroom in his own house. Later, with the help of the government, he got another two classrooms. To provide education for more children, he also set up the Ye Lianping Scholarship Fund with almost all his money and the donations(捐赠物) from others. So far, it has helped hundreds of left- behind children. 

Ye is quite generous(慷慨的) to these children, but he spends very little money on himself. He lives a very simple life. He lives with his wife in a house built over 30 years ago. He never buys any drinks. And he has been wearing the same jacket for over 40 years. 

Although he is getting older, Ye is never tired of teaching. In 2018, he got hurt while riding a bicycle to buy vegetables. Instead of resting in bed for recovery, he quickly returned to class with a walking stick. 

Ye is racing against time to spend as much time as possible on left- behind children's education. People call him "the candlelight of the village". But he said, "I'm just a firefly(萤火虫), muking little light, not as much light as a candlelight can give. "
