Dan and Kim are friends. Dan lives in an apartment downtown(市中心). It is very convenient to go to work or go shopping, but it's too noisy. There is a lot of traffic. Sometimes Dan can't stand(忍受). Kim has a house in the suburbs(郊区). It's not convenient to go to work or go shopping, but it's very quiet. There is not much to do. In fact, nothing ever happens.

    Dan and Kim have a good idea. They decide to trade(决定交换)places one week.

    Every day, Mr. Smith sees a man near his home. The man has a pair of sunglasses (太阳镜) and sits on the ground. In front of the man, there is a hat with some money (钱) in it. Beside the man, there is a dog. Around the dog's neck, there is a board (牌子). It says "I'm blind". Mr. Smith gives the man some money every afternoon on his way home. One day, Mr. Smith walks by the man, but he does not give him any money.

    "Why don't you give me money today?" the man asks. Mr. Smith is very surprised (惊讶的).

    "Aren't you a blind man?" he asks.

    "No, I'm not. But my dog is blind (瞎的)." the man says.

    Today is Children's Day. The weather is sunny. We are having a good time. We are going on a field trip in a small village. There are many trees and flowers. Listen! The birds are singing. Look! My father is drawing. My mother is catching butterflies. My grandparents are playing chess. My little brother is writing on a tree. My sister is shouting at him, "Mike, don't do that. It's a bad habit!"

What am I doing then? I am taking pictures.
