It was a very hot day. A lion and a sheep were both thirsty (口渴的). The sheep found a small pool. Just when the sheep started to drink water from the pool, the lion came up to him and shouted, "I should drink first. I' m the king (大王) of all the animals. Get out of my way!"

    "No," said the sheep. "I should drink first. I found the water."

    "You will drink it all up," said the lion. "There won't be any left, and I' m almost dead (死的) with thirst.'

    "And I haven't drunk water all day," said the sheep.

    So they started to quarrel. They shouted louder and louder, and the lion even ran after the sheep to the top of a small hill.

    Suddenly the lion stopped. He looked up into the sky. The sheep looked up, too. A vulture (秃鹫) was there. All the animals knew and were afraid of him. He is Bird of Death, who likes to jump on the bodies of dead animals and eat them. The lion and the sheep knew it

    If we go on quarreling, said the lion, "we will both die of thirst, and the vulture will eat us. Go to the water and drink, but don't drink it all."

    The sheep did as the lion said, and the two animals weren't thirsty anymore.

    A 2-year-old boy is being described as a hero after using Face Time to save his mother after she was badly hurt.

    According to a report from KGUN, Laura was trying to stop a fight between two dogs when one of the dogs bit(咬) part of her middle finger almost completely off.

    Laura tried to call 911 herself, but she said her hands were too badly hurt to make the call. "I asked my daughters to call 911, and they're four, and they were quite afraid to even touch the phone, because it was covered in my blood(血) ," Laura told KGUN.

    The mother continued to lose a lot of blood and thought she would go into a deep sleep--until her 2-year- old son Bentley came up with a dishcloth from the kitchen. After cleaning some of the blood off his mother's iPhone, Bentley continued to use Face Time to call Laura's friend Connie.

    "All I could see was his little forehead. I said 'Hi Bentley' and it was quiet for a little bit. Then I heard Laura shouting," Connie told KGUN.

    Connie then called 911, and Bentley unlocked the door to let firefighters into the house.

    Laura told KGUN she is very thankful for her little hero and has since taught all of her children how to call 911.

    We tried communicating with the driver but with little4because he couldn't speak French. He tried to tell us with body language that he was going to get help and then he left.

    We were in a poor area, with 5houses in sight. We started to bear the cries of wild animals Sophie was very afraid. We didn't have much food and it was getting 6and darker I began to lose7. Should we leave the car? Would our driver ever8? Was he a trustworthy man? We were very worried.

A couple of hours passed. 9, the headlights from another car appeared in the dark. A man got out of the car. Finding us cold and hungry, he kindly asked us to10his car.
