Long long ago, a poor farmer had a dog and a cat. The dog and the cat 1 for the farmer and they 2 food from him.

    One night the farmer said, “There's not 3 room for both of you to live in the house. The one who works 4 in the field will live inside. ” Then they 5 good night to each other.

    The next morning, the dog and the cat got up very early. The dog went straight to the 6 and worked very hard. The cat climbed up a tree and slept until dark.

    When the evening came, they 7 went home. The dog told the farmer 8 that he finished the work. so did the cat. The dog and the cat argued a lot. The farmer decided to go and 9 the field next morning.

    What did the farmer see then? There were all the cat's footprints in the field.

    From then on, the cat lives inside the house and the dog lives outside, and their food are 10, too. So the dog is very angry with the cat whenever they see each other.

An old man was sitting on the sofa with Mike, his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a dove (鸽子) landed on the ground. 

The father asked his son, "What is this?"

The son replied, "It is a dove."

After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this?"

The son said, "Father, I have just told you. It's a dove."

After a little while, the old father asked his son for the third time, "What is this?"

This time Mike could not control his anger and shouted, "It's a dove, a dove. Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you so many times 'IT IS A DOVE!' Don't you understand this?"

The old man silently took out an old diary, turned to a page and showed it to Mike. Though a little impatient (不耐烦), Mike began to read it. 

"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a dove landed on the ground, and my son asked me what it was. I smiled at him, said it was a dove and hugged (拥抱) him. After a while Mike asked me again and I did the same. Pointing to the same dove, little Mike asked me what it was 23 times and I kept on answering his question and hugging him every time."

Something gently touched Mike's heart. His face turned red with shame for being so impatient to his father and he hugged him tightly (紧紧地). 

Your parents have given you many things in their lifetime, but you may not realize that until they are gone. 

 Hi, I'm Tom. I have a pencil box. It's my good friend. It's from my mom. What's in the pencil box? My ruler is in it. It's blue and red. That is a pencil. It is black and white. It's not my pencil. It's Cindy's. She likes black and white. You can see a green pen and an eraser in it, too. The pen isn't mine. I found it in the classroom this morning. It's Tim's. His name is on it. He isn't at school now. The nice eraser is my sister Linda's.

My Good Friend
