One day，only my mother and I were at home. She asked me a question，"1 is the most important part of the body? "2 I was young，I thought sound was very important to us， 3 I said，"My ears，Mom. "

"No. Many people 4 deaf（聋的）， "she said. "But keep 5 about it and I will ask you again soon. "

Last year，my grandpa died.6 w as crying. When it was our turn 7 our final goodbye to him，my mother asked me for the 8 time，"Do you know the most important part of your body now，my dear? "

I didn't know how to answer when she 9 me this. I always thought this was just 10 game between her and me. She saw the confusion（疑惑）11 my face and told me，"My dear，the most important body part is your shoulder （肩膀）

"Is it because it holds up 12 head? "I asked. 

"No，it is because it 13 hold the head of a friend or a 14 one when he or she cries，"she answered. "Everybody 15 to have a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life. My dear，I only hope that you have enough love and friends. And then when you feel sad，you will have a shoulder to cry on. "

My name is Mary. I'm a teacher. It's 9 o'clock on Monday. My class begins. There is a boy in my class. His name is Bob. I ask Bob, "I get some apples from a fruit seller*. And I give you one apple and one apple and one apple. How many apples have you got?"

After some time, Bob says, "Four. "

I say, "Please listen to me carefully. It's not difficult. I give you one apple and one apple and one apple. How many apples have you got?"

"Four, " Bob says. 

I remember Bob likes carrots. Then I say, "I give you one carrot and one carrot and then one carrot. How many carrots have you got?"

"Three?"

"Yes!" I ask, "I give you one apple and one apple and one apple. How many apples have you got?"

"Four. "

"How? Please tell me. How?" I ask. 

"Because I already have an apple in my bag, " says Bob. 

Now I think Bob gives the right answer all the time. 

Mr. and Mrs. Crum lived in a quiet place. They kept animals and grew vegetables to make a living. Though they were rich, they were 1 . Why? They didn't have a 2 . This summer they grew pumpkins（南瓜）. 3 , there was hardly any 4 the whole（整个的） summer. They had to water them twice a week. 

When autumn came, they started to 5 the pumpkins. When Mrs. Crum picked a large pumpkin, she heard a voice. "I have grown up. It's time 6 out. " Mr. and Mrs. Crum were 7 . They looked around but found 8 . After a while, a baby jumped 9 the pumpkin. Their dream came true!

The woman took some water to wash it. 10 the drops（滴） of water fell off the baby's body, they changed （变成） into gold（金子）. So the woman gave 11 another bath, and again she got some 12 . Then the baby said, "Don't do that again. You have 13 money. " But the couple didn't listen to the baby. When they began to give it a 14 bath, the baby became sad and 15 . And all the gold was gone, too.
