One day, Mr. Smith went to a dinner party. He was wearing very old clothes. He came into the room. But people in the room didn't look at him. They didn't ask him to sit at the table. He wasn't happy. But he said nothing.

    Mr. Smith went home quickly and put on his best clothes. He went back to the party. Everyone in the room stood up and looked at him. They gave him good food to eat.

    Mr. Smith took off his coat, and put it on the food and said, "Eat, coat!"

    The other people were surprised and asked, "What are you doing? Why do you do that?"

    Mr. Smith answered, "I am asking my coat to eat food. When l wore old clothes, you didn't look at me. You didn't ask me to sit down. Now I am wearing these nice clothes. And you give me good food. Now I see, you give the food to my coat, not to me."

      Little Mike's grandma died weeks ago. He missed her very much. One afternoon Mike went to the city park. His grandma used to go there. There he saw an old lady. She looked very kind. She was sitting there, watching pigeons (鸽子). Little Mike went up and sat next to her. He took out his food and drinks, and gave some to her. She smiled at him .Her smile was very sweet. She seemed to understand him, and she smiled again. Mike was very glad.

       They sat there all the afternoon, eating and talking. As it grew dark, Mike got up to leave. Before he left, he hugged the old lady and she gave him her sweetest smile.

     When Mike got home, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.“I met a granny in the park. Her smile was like the kind of my grandma's.” said Mike.

     The old lady also returned to her home happily. She told her son she had food and drinks with a little boy. “He was as lovely as Brittany.” She said. Her son was surprised, because he had never seen her so happy since Brittany, her grandson, died weeks ago.

    A few years ago, my young sons, Sam, Jerry and Alex, joined a bike competition in a town far from our home. As their father was busy, I drove them to the competition.

    We were quite new to the town and didn't know anyone there. But soon after arriving, one woman gave me a chair. In the afternoon, we talked happily. Her name was Bev and she was there with her sons Jim and Carl.

    Unluckily, in one of the last races, my youngest son, Alex, had an accident (事故). He cried and cried, so I ran to meet him. He badly broke his arm.

    Just before I decided to take Alex to hospital, I saw a familiar (熟悉的) face. It was Bev.

    Although I hardly still knew her, she could see I was scared by the accident and the worry of having two other children to care in an unfamiliar town.

    "You go with him to the hospital," Bev said. "I'll take the other two home with my boys. Here is my phone number. I live not far from the town hospital."

    Bev was an angel (天使). I will never forget her kindness in taking two children off my hands so I could give my injured (受伤的) child the best care.

    A friendship started that day; and is still growing now.

    Bill is a boy in my class. He is really good at painting (用颜料画). We paint the same thing in the art class. Mine is OK, but his is great. Bill says, "I always paint at night. But ideas often come to me when I'm asleep (睡着). I dream (梦见) about paintings! I often see the finished paintings in my dreams, and the next day I know what I have to do." I can see why I'm not a good painter. When I'm asleep, I often dream about soccer.

    Alan is my good friend. We watch movies every Sunday. It's often at his home. We often watch old movies, Alan watches them and reads about them. I really enjoy talking to him about movies, because he knows a lot about them and he teaches me a lot. Alan doesn't play basketball or soccer and he doesn't play computer games, so some people think he's weird. But it's good to be different (不同的), and I think he's a very interesting boy.
