Once upon a time there was a baby eagle（鹰）living in a nest on a cliff（悬崖）. The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious food. She was like a god to him he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.

The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food. The baby eagle grew strong. The mother wanted him to try flying and getting the food out of the nest. But the baby eagle was afraid to do it. The mother eagle flew away and stopped coming to the nest. The baby eagle cried and cried. But there was no one there to hear him. Two days later, the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby.

The mother said, “Here is some very delicious food, all you have to do is come to get it.”

“Come to get it!” said the baby, with much anger. “How?”

The mother pushed him out of the nest. The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. Something strange happens. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasn't moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun.

“Hug?” he said. “What's going on here!”

    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
    After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
    “It's not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
    “Oh, I'm in no hurry,” she said. “I'm on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
     For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
    Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. In the early morning, she suddenly said,” I'm tired. Let's go now.”
    We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
    “How much do I pay you?” she asked.
    “Nothing.” I said.
    “You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,”I answered.
     Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug(拥抱). She held on me and said, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.

While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, "Why not invite John?" John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in Maths than anyone else in class. I wrinkled (皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?" Mum said nothing. The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate (凭证) in it. "I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John" Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet (床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it is time for the great prize game. It is the following riddle……". It was a maths game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.

Some boys like wearing the same kinds of clothes as girls, and some of them have long hair. So sometimes it's difficult to tell whether（是否）they are boys or girls. Today is Sunday. I have a walk with my grandmother in the park. My grandmother is 80 years old and she can't see well. After some time, my grandmother is tired（疲倦的）, so she sits down on a chair. There is another person sitting on the chair, too.

"Hello," my grandmother says to the person with long hair next to her. "Can you see the person with long hair under the big tree? Is it a boy or a girl? "

"Which（哪一个） one?" asks the person.

"The one eating under the big tree," says my grandmother.

"The boy?" says the person. "He's my brother Mark."

"Oh," says my grandmother, "I don't know you are his sister."

"No, I'm not his sister. I'm his brother."

A handwritten letter by a little boy asking Santa for a "very good dad" has captured hearts worldwide.

The boy, known only as "Blake" in the letter, wrote, "Dear Santa, We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don't have to be scared.

"Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter in his backpack..."Posted by SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.

"I'm still nervous. I don't want to talk to the other kids," he continued. "Are you going to come this Christmas? Can you bring a dictionary, and a compass and a watch?"

The most heart-breaking part of the letter was the last line that read, "I also want a very very very good dad. Can you do that too?"

Officials with SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a group seeking to help end domestic (家庭的) violence（暴力）, posted Blake's letter to its Facebook page. Now, some of the child's wishes have come true. All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community. Though SafeHaven received more than 10,000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.

"To us, it was kind of a story that we've heard all the time," Kathryn Jacob, the organization's president and CEO, told Today. "Like tonight, we have 73 kids in the shelter.""Blake is just one of many."
