house was very old and ran down and the owner hardly ever came out. The boy"s parents told him to
stay away from the house, a lot of other neighborhoods children were told the same from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. "What do you want?" the old man said.
"Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and I was wondering if you would like to buy one." The old man
stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man"s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. "Do you collect dogs?" the little boy asked. "Yes, I have many collections
in my house, they are my family here. They are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it
seemed that he was a very lonely soul. Then the old man was ready to close the door and said,"No,
boy, I don"t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye."
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for
the old man being so alone in the big house. The boy went home and then had an idea. He knocked on
the door again and this time the old man came right to the door. "Boy, I thought I told you no magazines." "No, sir. But I want to give you a gift." The boy handed him the figurine and the man"s face lit up. "It"s a
Golden Retriever, and I have one at home, this is for you." The old man was simply stunned (受惊的);
no one had ever given him such a gift and shown him so much kindness.
From that day on the old man started coming out of the house and acknowledging people. He
and the boy became friends. The boy even brought his dog to see the man weekly.

Nina laughs. “That"s a man"s jacket.”

Once upon a time, there was a farmer. He didn"t have a lot of money, so he used an old horse
to plow(耕)his field instead of a tractor(拖拉机).
One afternoon, while working in the field, the horse died. Everyone in the village said, "Oh, what
a terrible thing!" The farmer just said, "We"ll see." He was such a good person that the villagers got
together and bought him a new horse as a gift.
Then many people said, "What a lucky man!" And the farmer replied, "We"ll see."
A few days later, the new horse jumped over the wall and ran away. Everyone in the village said,
"What a poor man!"
The farmer smiled and said. "We"11 see." But finally, the horse found his way home, and everyone
said, "What a fortunate man!" The farmer said, "We"ll see."
Later in the year, the farmer"s young boy went out, riding on the horse. He fell off the horse and
broke his leg. Everyone in the village said, "What a poor boy!" The farmer said, "We"ll see."
Two days later, the army came into the village to ask people to be soldiers. When they saw that

socks. I turned into the first sock shop that c 2 my eye, and a boy clerk came forward.
"What can I do for you, sir?" "I wish to buy a pair of socks." His eyes shone. There was a note of
passion in his v 3 . "Did you know that you have come into the f 4 place in the world to buy socks?"
I really didn"t know that, because I came here accidentally. "Come with me," said the boy.
I followed him and he began to i 5 all kinds of socks. "H 6 on, I am going to buy only one pair!"
"I know that," said he, "but I want you to see how beautiful they are. Aren"t they w 7 ?" There was a
serious expression on his face, as if he were talking about his belief.
I became far more i 8 in him than in the socks. I looked at him and said, "My friend, if you can k 9 up this excitement day after day, in ten years you will o 10 every sock in the United States."
