He was struggling(费劲) to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him. I did, and he was grateful.
“Thank you,” he said.
“I'm glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach,” I said.
He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted(扭曲的) terribly, and he couldn't do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted(反应) to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable.
I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.
“ Nice shoes,” he said.
“Thanks. No one ever complimented (赞美) me on them before,” I said.
“No one has the same view of the world as I do,” he replied.
“Tell me about the world as you see it,” I said smiling.
“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet.” he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they're impatient with me. I don't want to make people uncomfortable.
“What about me? I asked.
“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous.” he said. “I don't normally have someone look me in the eye.”
“They don't know what they're missing,” I told him.
“My old face is nothing to brag(自夸) about.” he said.
“But that smile is so big.”
Yes, and it's not only a big smile but an attitude.

A long time ago, there was an emperor. He had a beautiful garden. In the garden, there was a little nightingale(夜莺) singing very beautifully.

One day, the emperor heard about this little bird's beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale's voice, he said, "Put her in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her sing."

The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully, too. The emperor was pleased.

Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the emperor became very weak. One morning, while lying in bed, the emperor wanted it to sing once again. But the robot bird couldn't sing any more.Suddenly the nightingale landed on the window. She began to sing her most beautiful song. The emperor was very happy! He became better and better each day.

After the emperor was well, he changed a lot and became kind to his people. From then on, all his people cherished(爱戴) him for his love and kindness.

A man died and was on his way to another world, either heaven (天堂) or hell (地狱). When he was halfway there, he saw a beautiful, huge palace. The owner came out and asked the man to stay and live in the palace.

"And now I just want to eat and sleep without doing any work."The man said: "I have been working hard my whole life.

The owner of the palace said: "If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is a wealth of seafood and many other delicious foods in my palace. You can eat whatever you want without anyone stopping you. And you can rest assured (肯定的) that nothing needs to be done by you."

"That is great! This must be heaven!" said the man. And he settled down (定居) in the palace.

At first, the man felt very happy with a life of eating and sleeping. But gradually, he felt a bit lonely and bored.

So he went to the owner and said: "Just eating and sleeping every day is very boring. Now I'm losing interest in this kind of life. Could you help me find a job?"

The owner replied: "Sorry, there are no jobs here at all."

After another few months, the man could not stand it any more and went to the owner again. "I really can't stand this kind of life any more," he said. "If you do not offer me a job, I would prefer (宁愿) to go to hell rather than (也不) live here."

The owner of the palace smiled. "Where do you think we are now?" he said. "Heaven? We are actually (实际上) in hell!"

An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a lot of famous actors and actress got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special things done to avoid possible fans gathering so that no one shod know them. But they soon discovered that the action making themselves unknown can sometimes be too perfect.

“This is a wonderful place for a picnic,” said Gloria Gleam.

“It couldn't be better, Gloria,” Brinksley Meers agreed. “No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?”

Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a right place under some trees. When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He seemed to see red. “Now you get out of here, all of you!” he shouted. “I'm sheriff(司法长官) here. Do you see that notice? It says 'No Camping' -- in case you can't read!”

“Look, sheriff,” said Rockwall. “Don't be too hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.”

“Oh, is it?” said the sheriff with a smile as if we were fools. “Well, (5) , and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast!”

"I have some exciting news, class," said Mrs. Pike.

It was almost lunchtime, and Jenny Archer was hungry. She drew a piece of apple pie in her notebook. Sometimes Mrs. Pike's news wasn't very exciting.

Once, Mrs. Pike had said it would be exciting to watch a filmstrip (幻灯影片) called Tommy Tooth and the Whole Truth about Teeth. But it wasn't.

"We're going to have a contest(竞赛)," said Mrs. Pike.

Jenny put down her pencil.

"The whole school will take part," Mrs. Pike went on. "We're going to collect empty tin cans to sell. We'll use the money to buy a video camcorder and a TV monitor for' the school. "

"What kind of contest is that?" asked Clifford Stern. "Just collecting cans?"

"The class that collects the most cans," said Mrs. Pike, "will use the camera first. We will make our own class movie. You could all be star!"

"Me, a movie star!" Jenny said to herself. Now, that was exciting.

"The person in the class who brings in the most cans will direct the first movie," Mrs. Pike finished.

Wow! Directing a movie might be even better than starring(主演) in one. The director could make up the whole story. He/She would choose the actors and tell everybody what to do. Jenny loved to make up stories. And she was good at telling people what to do.

She was sure she'd be a great director.

The whole class was noisy at once. She looked over at her friend Beth. Beth's eyes were bright.

"You can be the star of my movie," Jenny whispered to her.

"Your movie? What do you mean?" Beth asked.

"I mean when I win the contest," Jenny said.

"What if I win the contest?" Beth said.

"But I have to win," answered Jenny. "I've always wanted to make a movie."

"Since when?"

"Well, I realised it just now," Jenny admitted. "But don't you think I will make a good director?"

“I think I might make a good director," Beth said.

Beth was one of Jenny's two best friends. Jenny didn't want to fight with her. But she really wanted to direct the class movie.

"Let's not fight." Jenny said. "We will both be good directors."

"You're right," Beth said. "We won't fight. Let's just say, may our friendship last forever. "

Jenny shook Beth's hand. "May our friendship last forever," she repeated.
