A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, "I am a
blind, please help". There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins
from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some
words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the news words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. More and more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon
the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and
asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said, "I
only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." The man"s words was, "Today is a
beautiful day and I cannot see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same
thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by
putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of
the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.

can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to
ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."
"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn"t remember this, he wrote these words down
on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every
now and then.
Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come
and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.
The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door
and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of
paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more." The man

is bigger than your dad"s." and "My mum is smarter than yours."
There were three little boys, Harry, Ted and Gavin. They were always boasting (自吹自擂). Gavin
was the worst. Everything in his home was always the best or the biggest or the most expensive.
One day when they were walking to school, Harry said, "My father has a bath twice a week." Ted
spoke next, "That"s nothing. Having a bath twice a week means your father is dirty. My father has a bath
every day, sometimes twice a day."
Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his turn. But what could he say? He couldn"t say that his father had
a bath three times a day. He walked in silence. Ted smiled to Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were
sure that for once they had won.
They reached the school gate. Still Gavin said nothing.

was Sun. It is spelt S-U-N, just the same as the English word "sun", the sun in the sky.
England is a country with bad weather. It is often cloudy or misty and it rains now and again, so the
people don"t get much sunshine in the year.
When the Chinese student arrived at London Airport, a tall English policeman with a long face checked
his passport. The policeman was interested to find the Chinese name "Sun" in the passport. He thought it
was pronounced just like the English word "sun", so he said to the Chinese student, "I see your name is
Sun. You are wanted here."
What a surprise to hear that! Everybody knows if you are wanted by the police, you must have
broken the law. So he asked the policeman: "Is there anything wrong with my passport? Do I have to go
back to China right now?" "Go back?" shouted the policeman, "Now you are here, we"ll never let you go
away." "What"s happened? What have I done?" asked the Chinese student in surprise. He thought he was
going to be arrested.
It was only then that the policeman began to smile.
He said, "You don"t know what you have done, Mr. Sun? You"ve brought sunshine to England. So
