There was once a man who couldn't sleep well because he was afraid that there was a stranger under his bed. He thought that as soon as he went to sleep, the stranger would come out from the bed and rob him. He was worried that the stranger might even kill him!

    Every night, after he got into bed, the man had to get up again and looked under the bed. There was never anyone there, but as soon as he got back into bed, he had to get up and looked under the bed again. This went on for hours until at last he fell asleep from exhaustion.

    The time came for the man to get married. He didn't tell his wife about his fears but she soon found out because he kept her awake all night.

  “You must go to see a doctor,” she told him. “He will make you become well. You won't have such silly fear again.”

    The man did as his wife told him. He told the doctor his problem, and the doctor said, “You can be well again, but it will take about two years. You must come and see me three times a week. The cost for each visit will be $75.”

    The next day the man called the doctor and said, “I won't need to visit you again. I'm well now.”

    The doctor was surprised. “How?” he asked. “Who made you get well?”

  “My wife did,” the man said. “When I told her how much I would have to pay you, she cut the legs off the bed.”

Dorothy lived with her uncle Henry and aunt Em who were both farmers.Their house had only four walls，a floor and a small space under the floor to protect them from powerful winds.The house was in the middle of poor land with strong sunlight and few plants.Aunt Em used to be young and cheerful，but the sun and wind had taken away her happiness.Uncle Henry also looked serious and strict.Only Toto，could bring laughter into Dorothy's life.

Frightened，Toto ran around the room until Dorothy caught him and protected him from falling through the open door.She closed it carefully to avoid further danger.As hours passed，Dorothy slowly got over her fear.She finally fell asleep on her bed with Toto by her side.The wind had set Dorothy's house down gently in a beautiful country.

As she looked around, she saw green grass, fruitful trees, and colourful flowers.Birds with special feathers sang and flew around.As she stood enjoying the beautiful views, a group of strangely dressed people came near. They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot above their heads. Three men were dressed in blue, and a little woman wore a white dress. They stopped and discussed in a low voice, as if afraid to come farther.

There were no {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that afternoon. Henry went to a clothes shop near his home. The shop {#blank#}2{#/blank#} many jackets. He looked at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and found a very nice one. He told the shopkeeper (店主) to put it into a bag.
