My life plan is to visit all the states in the US. Several years ago， my husband and I were traveling in the northwest. One day， when we were having our breakfast， I lost my wallet that had over $300 in it. There was no way for us to be able to find it， but we went on with our trip.

    We went off to drive around and enjoy the city， completely forgetting my missing wallet. Later on， when I checked my phone， there was a message from the boss of the restaurant where we had our breakfast：

    “I have something that belongs to you， and you're going to be very happy.”

    We got back to the restaurant and there was the wallet on the table with all the money in it!

    The boss's son found the wallet in front of the door， and brought it to him. He thought that it must belong to someone who had a meal in the restaurant， so he checked inside and found my phone number on a piece of paper.

    Mr. Green lives in a village. He has a few farms and is the richest there. And he has pigs, chickens, cows and sheep. He works in the fields with some workers, and his wife had to do all the housework at home. So she is very busy and asks her husband to employ( 雇) a girl to help her, but he doesn't agree.

    "There are so many chickens, dear," said the woman one day. "I can't look after them at all."

    "That's easy," said Mr. green." There's Mr. Black's farm outside our enclosing walls (围墙).We'd better make a few holes in the walls and the chickens will go to his farm through them and eat his vegetables."

    And soon Mr. Black found it. He told Mr. Green and his wife about it. They promised they would stop their chickens doing it but they didn't keep their promise at all. Mr. Black thought for a while and found a way. He put nearly 20 eggs near the holes one afternoon. And that evening, when Mrs. Black was counting her chickens, she called out on her farm, "Oh, I'm lucky today! I've found twenty eggs on my farms."

    Of course, Mrs. Green saw it herself. And the next morning Mr. Black found all the holes had been stopped up(堵死).

    A call came into Jimmy Gilleece's bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive (潜水) beach bar in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, couldn't find her wallet. She didn't care about her ID, credit cards, or $150—but her wedding ring was inside it.

    Gilleece, 42, the boss of the bar, didn't like the idea that there was a thief at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking for the footage(录像) from 16 different cameras, watching the woman's every step in the bar. Finally, a young man caught his eyes. He picked up something from the place where the woman stood and put it in his pocket.

    Gilleece posted the picture on the bar's Facebook and asked if anybody knew who the guy was. Within hours, 17-year-old Rivers Prather came and said he had taken the wallet and told Gilleece he'd done it because he hadn't eaten for two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was not real, so he took the money, and threw the wallet into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.

    Prather wasn't getting along with his family and lived in the woods for weeks. Gilleece saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a thief. Gilleece wanted to help him somehow. He found two local divers, to search the waters where Prather threw the wallet. After waiting for hours worriedly but luckily, a diver came out from the water with the wallet in his hand, and inside was the ring.

    "Most people would give the footage to police, but the boss chose to help me," Prather told CBS News. "I say thank you to him every day."

    David and Jack are friends. They are Canadians, but they don't live in Canada. They live in China now. They are in No. 2 Middle School. They are in the library now. There are many books in the library. They borrow books from it. David borrows three books and Jack borrows two books. It's five in the afternoon. Jack closes the windows and David closes the door. "Thank you, David. Thank you, Jack." says the teacher. David and Jack say, “You are welcome.”

    Tom is ten years old. He loves watching TV. But for one year, he didn't watch TV at all. What was the reason? Tom's parents said they would give him $600 if he didn't watch TV for a year. Tom's parents thought he watched TV too much.

    One day his mother read a story in a newspaper about a boy who didn't watch TV for a year. She showed the story to Tom. Tom liked the idea. He turned off the TV right away, and said," It doesn't trouble me not to watch TV. I just want the money. "At first, Tom's parents were very happy. Tom read books and newspapers, played outside, and played computer games, but soon he got bored.

    Every evening, he asked his parents." What are we doing tonight?" Sometimes his mother and father wished he would watch TV just for one evening. Tom always said," No, it would cost me money!" Finally the year was over, Then Tom started watching his favorite TV shows all day again. Tom got the money from his parents. What did he plan to do with the $600?"I want to buy myself a TV set!" he said.
