The lion and the goose

    It is a hot day in summer. A lion is walking along a lake. He is looking for something to eat. He is very hungry. A goose is swimming in the water. The lion is very happy to see him. “This is my lunch,” The lion says to himself（自言自语）.

“Hello Mr. Goose!” “Go away, you're bad lion” says the goose. “I have good news for you.” “What is it?” ask the goose. “I don't want other animals to hear it. Please come here.” Says the lion. The poor goose gest out of the water and runs to the lion. The lion eats him up.

    Henry is a dog. He likes taking a walk in the morning. One morning, he sees a black shape behind him. "What's that? Is it a big black dog?" He says to himself. Henry is afraid. He runs. The black shape runs too. He runs faster and faster. The black shape runs faster and faster too. Henry stops. The black shape stops too. "Oh, you're my shadow. Let's play together." He likes his new friend.

    Today is Sunday, and I go to hospital to see my friend, Mike. He hurts his left leg, and he can't go to school. It's so bad, because he cannot have his favorite class, piano lessons. But now, he gets better, because the doctor take an X-ray for him, and he takes some pills, these are good for his hurt.

It was a fine day yesterday. Bob went to a park. Suddenly, he fell into a lake. But he couldn't swim. He shouted for help. A man jumped into the lake and saved him. Bob's wife was very happy and wanted to thank that man. She said," We should give him some money. How about two hundred yuan?" "I was a half-dead man when he pulled me out of the lake. So, I think we give him one hundred yuan. That's enough." said Bob. The man was not happy and then went away without money.
