A little boy went into a shop, reached for box and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the box so that he could get the phone. The shop-owner watched and listened to the call.

Boy: Lady, can you give me the job of cutting your lawn (草坪)?

Woman: I already have someone to cut my lawn.

Boy: Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.

Woman: I'm very satisfied with the person who is now cutting my lawn.

Boy: Lady, I'll even sweep your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in the town.

Woman: No, thank you.

With a smile on his face, the little boy put down the phone. The shop-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy, "Son, I like your attitude (态度) and would like to offer you a job."

    "No, thanks, sir. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"

    Matt jumped into bed. His father sat down beside him.

    "What kind of day did you have?" he asked.

    "It was a bad day for me," Matt answered. "I had a fight with Ned. The teacher sent a note home about me. And Mom talked about it with me."

    "Yes, part of the day was bad," Mr. Gold said. "But there were good parts, too. Now it's time to go to sleep. So, tell me about the best thing today."

    Matt smiled. "After school I went fishing," he said. "No one wanted to go with me. So I had to go alone. I didn't think I would have any fun. But I did! I caught a fish!"

    "I'm glad you had a good time," Mr. Gold said. "Think about it until(直到)you go to sleep. Happy dreams!"

    "Good night, Dad," Matt said.

    His father kissed(亲吻)him good night.

    Every night, Mr. Gold and Matt have a little talk like this.

    Every night, Matt answers the same question. "What was the best thing that happened to you today?"

    Every night Matt goes to sleep thinking about the best thing. He has many happy dreams!

    Sometimes he has to think hard to find the best thing. Sometimes it is a very small thing. But he always finds one good thing to think about.

    Matt's father taught his son a good way to end his day. You may want to try it. If you do, why not begin this every night?

    Once there was a boy. He loved candies very much. He always asked his father for candies. The boy's father thought hard about how to stop (阻止) the child from asking for so many candies. A great man lived nearby (附近). The boy's father wanted to take the boy to him. He could make the child give up (放弃) candies. So they went to the great man. The father asked the great man to help him. But the great man liked candies himself. He told the father to bring his son back after a month.

    In this month, the great man tried to give up eating candies. At last he did it. When the boy and his father came back after a month, the great man had a talk with the boy. From then on, the boy did not ask for candies any more. The boy's father felt surprised, "Why didn't you ask my son to give up candies when we came to you a month ago?" The man answered, "How could I ask a boy to give up candies when I loved candies myself? In the last month I gave up eating candies."

    A person's example (榜样) is always more important than (比) words. We should not ask others to do what we can't do ourselves.

    Denies Walme in Texas, USA, now 14 years old, published his best-seller Unbending Gisula eight years ago. The book is about a little whale named Gisul.

    One day, Gisula did not take his mother's words and went up the beach. Then he got lost and had to learn to live by himself. The colour pictures were drawn by Denies himself. Denies published the books at the age of six He is said to be the youngest writer and picture artist.

    Another surprising thing about the book is that it became a best seller immediately after it was published and brought him a lot of money. Because he spent much time writing the books, his study was not very good and he had to learn the year's work again but his gift of writing is highly praised by the teachers and student. And he was even invited to give talks on writing.

    But Denies does not want to be a writer. He said, 'I like planes most. I dream of becoming a pilot someday.'
