It was a rainy night in New Orleans, US. At a bus station, I watched a young girl cry as her baggage(行李) was taken down. It seemed she'd lost her ticket. She begged the bus driver not to leave her behind.

    “Losing your ticket is like losing money,” the bus driver said, and left her in the rain.

    But then an old man stood up and blocked the driver's way. “How can you leave that girl out there? You know she had a ticket. You can't just leave her here. You can't leave her in a city where she doesn't have a friend. You will meet your schedule(日程安排), but she might meet her end.”

    The driver showed no sign that he'd heard or even cared about the young girl's problem, or how her travels went.

    So the old gentleman said: “I'll pay for her ticket. I'll give her a little money to help her on her way.”

    He went and bought a ticket for the girl. “How can I repay the kindness you've shown tonight?” she asked. “We're strangers who won't meet again. A mere ‘thank you' doesn't seem right.”

    The old man said: “What goes around comes around. I've learned this with time. What you give, you always get back. Always be helpful to others and give what you can spare(分让).”

Valerie is a creative Southwest Airlines (美国西南航空公司)worker. Her work is to guide1 in and out and help with luggage(行李). So she sees the zipper pulls (拉链头) everywhere. After collecting zipper pulls for years, she2 these small things into something lovely: a shining dress. 

Valerie shared more about the dress. 

"When I started working here in 2011, I was3 several zipper pulls every day. I told my partner that I was going to do something with 4 , " she said. "At first I was thinking about something small, but then I5 to make a dress. "

She 6 a dress at a second-hand store and got to work. Because of the pulls' weight(重量), she chose a well-made dress and 7 fishing lines to sew (缝) them on. 

To make the dress look beautiful, Valerie took special care in keeping the pulls 8 in size and shape within each line. "The9 was sewing them on in a straight line, " said Valerie. "But I'm10 myself because I made it. "

Can a dog talk to a person？Of course not, you might say. But now you should change your common idea and listen to what your dog is trying to say!

Not long ago, a smart dog told her owner how she felt through a special communication pad（通讯平台）, beach and park

Let's meet the smart dog Bunny. Her owner Alexis Devine taught her how to make up sentences. That's right. Now she can use more than 40 words to tell her family how she feels. It's said that Bunny is a superstar with over l, 900, 000 followers on TikTok（国际版抖音）____ .

To teach Bunny different words, Devine needs to show how she uses them in talking. Here is how Bunny learned the word "outside". Devine pressed（按）the "outside" button and said the word "outside" before letting Bunny out. When Bunny came in, Bunny learned to "say" something like a common person. She even uses the board to tell Devine, "Mom. "

Devine decided to do this after seeing someone was successful in using the method to talk with her dog, Stella. "I'm not sure if Bunny really gets what I say, but it's exciting to find it out. "Devine said. 

One summer evening, Sylvie hurried the cow through the forest, following a path to her grandmother's home.

Suddenly she heard a loud whistle(哨子声).

"Hello," a young man carrying a gun called out cheerfully, "I've been hunting for birds." he explained,"but I've lost my way." Sylvie led the stranger through the forest.When they reached her house, the stranger explained his problem to Sylvie's grandmother and was invited to stay there for the night.

After dinner, the young man said he was a scientist, who collected birds."Do you put them in a cage?" Sylvie asked."No," he answered,"I shoot birds and put something special into them to preserve them.I have over 100 different kinds of birds at home.Their feathers(羽毛) look as bright as before."

"Sylvie knows a lot about birds too," her grandmother said proudly.

"Maybe she can help me," the young man said."I saw a white heron(鹭) not far from here two days ago.I've been looking for it ever since.It's a tall, strange bird with white wings.Have you seen it?" he asked Sylvie.Sylvie didn't answer.Her heart began to beat fast.She had seen that bird! The young man added."I would give $10 to the person who showed me where the bird is."

That night Sylvie thought about the wonderful things she and her grandmother could buy with ten dollars.She also wanted to be the young man's friend, because she had never seen anyone so handsome.

When the sun began to rise, Sylvie quietly left her house and hurried to a huge tree.She wanted to climb to the top of the tree where she could see the whole forest.

Sylvie's face was pale when, at last, she reached the top.Suddenly, a bird with big white wings flew past her and landed on a branch below her.The other white heron was sitting on the ne st in a nearby tree.Now Sylvie knew the bird's secret! An hour later, Sylvie returned to the house.The young man would give them the money they needed.Besides, Sylvie wanted to make him happy.But Sylvie was silent.She remembered how the white heron flew through the air and how they watched the sun rise together from the top of the forest.Sylvie could not speak.Finally, she decided to keep the secret of the white heron.

The young man went away later that day and never returned.
