    A Little Horse Crossing the River

    There is an old horse and a little horse on a farm. One day the old horse asks the little horse to send the wheat to the mill(磨坊）。The little horse is very happy. He carries the wheat and runs toward the mill. But there is a river in front of the little horse. He stops and doesn't know {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to do next. Just then Aunt Cow is passing by.

    Many people b{#blank#}1{#/blank#} that success means to win．In my opinion, it means to try your best when you do e{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, no matter you will win or not．When you are t{#blank#}3{#/blank#}part in a long-distance race, if you keep on running as f{#blank#}4{#/blank#}as you can, you are successful, though you may be the last to pass the finishing-line．Because you have showed your best to others, and you have made your greatest e{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to be the winner．Success means not to lose heart．

    No one can always be the w{#blank#}6{#/blank#}．You will certainly lose or fail some day．It is important for you not to lose heart．A person who has lost heart is just like a tree without roots(树根)．It will be e{#blank#}7{#/blank#} blown down by the wind．Nobel had failed many t{#blank#}8{#/blank#} when he was doing his experiments．Sometimes his lab was on fire and he was nearly killed．But he never lost heart and kept on trying．Finally he was s{#blank#}9{#/blank#}．So when you fail or meet any d{#blank#}10{#/blank#} just believe in yourself, stand up and give the difficulty a heavy strike．

Another reason is that people are taking {#blank#}5{#/blank#}their land and making their water dirty . The {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is becoming very serious.

    I learnt much yesterday. I think people should {#blank#}7{#/blank#} up more comfortable houses for the animals and help them live in {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. We should do our best to protect them, because protecting them is protecting ourselves.
