    Do you like stories? I want to tell you a true story. It happened to a friend of mine a year ago.

    While my friend, Bill was reading in bed, two thieves climbed into his kitchen. After they had entered the kitchen, they went into the dining-room. It was very dark, so they turned on the torch. Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them, "what's up? What's up?" someone called. The thieves dropped the torch and ran away as quickly as they could.

    Bill heard the noise and came downstairs quickly. He turned on the light, but he couldn't see anyone. The thieves had already gone.

    But Bill's parrot, Henry, was still there. "What's up?" Henry called. "Nothing, Henry," Bill said and smiled, "go back to sleep."

    Some kids are afraid of seeing the dentist, but not me. I have a funny dentist. His name is Dr. Smileface. Why does he call himself Dr. Smileface? Because he always smiles to all the kids. He has a cool waiting room. It has a big toy box. Dr. Smileface always wears funny hats. He has his face painted. He asks funny questions like "Do you eat flowers to make you so beautiful?" That makes me laugh. One time, he told me this joke, "What has lots of teeth but never goes to the dentist? A comb!" When I laughed, he pulled my tooth. It didn't hurt at all. He also teaches us how to take care of my teeth.

(New words:  joke玩笑,  teeth牙齿,  comb梳子,  smile微笑,

take care of照顾)
