Our family went to the Yellow Stone National Park last summer vacation. Our son, Tom, wanted to see bears there. And what an experience it was!
When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore(探险). As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear go into our camp.
Tom wanted his father to chase(追赶)him away.
His father said, "No. It's dangerous to chase a bear. And don't let him chase you."
Susie said, "What shall we do? Maybe we should climb a tree."
Tom said, "No. We have to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent."
"Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat." Susie suggested.
Then I said, "How are you going to get the honey? It's in the tent."
We watched the bear go into the tent and heard him upset(翻倒)everything inside.
"It's foolish for us to try to chase him away." said my husband, "Leave him alone and wait for him to come out."
We waited, but the bear stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car that night.
Mr. and Mrs. George and Olivia Ransom bought an old house, and were spending time fixing it up. The walls needed painting and the wooden floorboards(地板) needed replacing.
One day, they pulled (拉) up some old floorboards and were surprised to see a case under the floor. They pulled it out, dusted it off and opened it. It was full of old newspapers from the year1977. George and Olivia were interested to read the news stories at that time. But as they took the newspapers out, they noticed a black box at the bottom of the case. It was locked.
Then Olivia remembered that there were some old things in the kitchen. There was a cup with old keys in it. She ran to get the cup, took out the keys and tried them in the lock. One of them opened it!
The box was full of jewellery (珠宝). There were necklaces and rings of silver and gold. Olivia and George were amazed. Who put the jewellery there, and why? Who did it belong to?
George remembered a story in the old newspapers. He quickly found it again and they read it together.
Police Unable to Solve Jewel Mystery 2 May, 1977— It has been three weeks since thieves robbed Jensen'sjewellery Store, but the police are no closer to solving the mystery of what happened to the jewellery. The jeweller, Stanley Jensen, said he was disappointed(感到失望的) that the police still had no answers... |
"That name— Jensen, said George. "It's familiar to me— why?"
"It's the old lady who sold the house to us!" replied Olivia. "Her name was Mrs Jensen. She told us her husband died in 1978 and he was a jeweller."
"That's strange," said George. "I wonder, was there really a jewellery theft? Or did Stanley Jensen hide the jewellery under his own house? But why...?"
