    One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and they used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had ran away. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(挤)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one ran after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
    Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to run away.
After seeing what happened, everyone was silent and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
    One serious American official said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard." The others thought for a while and said: "That was why!"
    A smart French said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife." Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it meaningful.
    A Japanese said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son." Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
    At that moment, one Chinese asked: "Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?"
    Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and didn't say any words. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shyness, and did not dare to answer.
    In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.

A、one was trying to help the blind one B、one was biting the other C、the mouth of the hole was too small D、they were not afraid of smoke

   After that, we went on down the river. It was very dark that night and it wasn't easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.
   When I came up out of the water, I couldn't see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He's dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Who's there?”
   “George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I've fallen off a river boat.”
   Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed.
   A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.
   On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn't break up. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.
   We decided to leave at once. It's all right living in a house for a little while, but you feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.

Today, I would like to tell a story about the wild horse Calypso and me. He saved me from a terrible accident. I got Calypso along with two other wild horses when I was 26. When I got the wild horses home, I began learning how to introduce them to the human world. I had four domestic (驯养的) horses. I thought they could show the new horses how to act. And I was learning how to be with these new horses.

One afternoon, I was riding a domestic horse around the outside of a riding arena(策骑场), with Calypso watching from inside. As my horse neared somewhere close to several trees, he got scared by something and ran around crazily. He was big and strong and it was difficult for me to control him. There was nothing I could do but stay on his back and pray everything would be OK.

It was a difficult situation that I couldn't seem to get out of. Calypso was watching carefully. Suddenly he hurried into the place my horse refused to go. As Calypso came to a sudden stop with a screech (尖叫), two big wolves ran away with their eyes looking at me.

I'm 65 now and I hardly ever ride, but Calypso, my lifesaver, is with me all the time.
