    The story goes that two friends were walking across the desert.

    During the journey they had a1, and one friend hit the other in the face. The one who got hit was hurt, but2saying anything, he wrote in the sand, "Today my3 friend hit me in the face." They kept on walking until they found green fields and a beautiful river where they decided to4.The one who had been hit fell into the river and started5, but the friend saved him. After he was out of 6, he wrote on a stone, "Today my best friend saved my life."

    The friend who7and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why? "The other8, "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in the sand where wind of forgiveness(宽容)can blow it away.9when someone does something good for us, we must carve(雕刻)it in the stone where no wind can ever blow it away."

    Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in the stone. Send this phrase to people you will10forget. It's a short message to let them know that you will never forget them.

    He uses his stage name, Rain, when he works as a singer and dancer. His real name is JungJi-hoon and he is also a f{#blank#}1{#/blank#} actor.

    He showed his interest in dancing ever since he was in the 6th grade. As a teenager, he was part of the boy band (乐队) group c{#blank#}2{#/blank#} "fan club". Years later, Park Jin-young (Korean singer) took Rain under his wing and trained him for years in dancing and singing. During those training years Rain was not at home much and didn't have enough money, so at times he had to train w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} meals.

    Finally in 2002 the song Bad Guy made him famous. Following the s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of the first album (专辑), he came back with a new set of music in his 2nd album. In 2004, he acted in a successful play called Full House which was welcomed in other Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan. His performance in Full House has won him the Best Actor Award at the KBS Acting Awards. It is hard to describe his dancing with simple words b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} it is a mixture of so many different elements. He has created a whole new style of his own. In Beijing he won the Best Korean Singer Award. Since his success in 2002, the 26-year-old boy has become one of the most popular Korean artists in Asia.

Singer Park Jin-young once said to his friends, "I was always wondering whether Rain understood w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} I said because he never said anything when I scolded (责备) him. One day I entered his room, and was surprised to discover a wall covered with notes. Every note was filled with my words and advice. " Rain had written down every single piece of a{#blank#}7{#/blank#} his older friend had given him and he had been doing his best to correct his mistakes and improve his skills.

Patrick Dan was 12 years old when he decided to do something different. He thought it could be fun to raise worms (养虫). He wanted to sell the worms to 1 to help them improve their fields. He could also sell the worms to fishermen. Then he 2 to do that. In spring, Dan bought many worms. He put the worms in clean earth. He then put water and leaves there. When the worms got fat, Dan sold many of them. But one winter he did not put them in a warm place. The 3 weather killed all the worms.

The next spring, Dan did that again. He bought more worms. He tried his best to 4 them. Many people bought Dan's worms. When winter came, Dan took the worms inside so they would stay 5 .

However, one day, he suddenly got a(n) 6 . It was from the state of Chicago where he lived. It said, "Everyone who sells things has to 7 taxes (税)!" Dan made only 50 cents per day by selling worms, but he still had to give part of that money to the state. Dan told many people in his town what had happened. He told them about his 8 . Later some people showed a video of their talk with Dan online. In the video, they said that the law was not 9 .

To everyone's great joy, the law was 10 changed. Children like Dan can now sell things without paying money to the state.
