    The snake lifted up his head and looked at the lion." Why do you say so? I have fifty babies. You only have 6. That's nothing, "The other animals said that the snake was right.

Yan Mingyou is 93 years old, but he still works as a music teacher in Anhui.

Yan is from a small town of Anhui. He has worked as a rural (乡村的) music teacher for about 40 years. When he reached the age of 60, he retired. But after he learned some rural schools were short of music teachers, he decided to go on teaching. "I usually have six music classes at a school and five classes at another school every week," he said. To make his classes more interesting, Yan started to learn to play the piano when he was 77 years old. At the age of 80, Yan felt he was too old to teach music. However, the children wanted him to stay. "Students wanted me to teach music, so I would go on teaching," Yan said.

Yan often uses some of his money to help students in need. Liu Dandan is one of the students he has helped. About 10 years ago, Liu, a student in Grade 5, had to stop getting an education because her family didn't have enough money. When Yan heard about that, he helped the girl. "I just try my best to help children in need," he said.

"I'm happy to teach music," Yan said. "For rural children, music is a way to help them make their dreams come true."

People can hardly believe that Fred Carey is one of the best students in his class. He used 1 a trouble maker and often drove his teacher mad.

Fred's father died when he was just a 2 boy. Life became 3 for him. His mother had to work to pay for his education. As a result, she was seldom at home. She tried to look 4 him well, but Fred caused a lot of problems for himself and his family. He had no 5 in studying and often got into trouble with the police. Luckily, his mother was very patient and didn't give up 6 him. 7 the end, she made a difficult decision 8 him to a boys' boarding school. Fred hated it at first and caused even 9 trouble. He told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. Even the teacher agreed that Fred was wasting his time.

The headmaster suggested that Fred should have a talk with his mother. "It was exactly 10 I needed." he said. "My mother helped me understand how much she had given to me. She also told me that 11 my father was no longer with us, he was watching me and would always be proud of everything good I had done. That's the time when I decided to change. I realized that since my father 12 , I had been afraid of being alone, and had tried to make my mother 13 more about me."

Now Fred has 14 changed. He has been working hard. How was he able to change? His mother's love helped him to feel good about himself, and as Fred himself says, "15 very important for parents to be there for their children."
