My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the 36 of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then 37 the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on 38 his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he 39 belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be 40 , I didn’t think much of it, but I had 41 to warn my neighbors of the drawings 42 appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the 43 to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I 44 Mary, my elderly neighbor, 45 at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once 46 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve 47 every item he has sent. You don’t know how much 48 the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our 49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days, 50 she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small 51 of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought 52 to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should 53 this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most 54 make their day.

One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck．He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before．
“How dare you hit me like that?” shouted Wilson．
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing．
This insult (侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge．
Now, the judge, who heard the case, was a friend of the young man’s father’s, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair．

Wilson said he would not be．The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished．
“Well, then,” said the judge to the young man, “I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson．”
Ten coins was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it．
Wilson waited for him to return with the money．He waited an hour, and then two hours, while the judge took care of other business．
When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly and hit him hard on the back of the neck．Then he said to him, “I am sorry, but I can’t wait any longer．When the young man comes back, tell him that I have passed my right to the ten coins on to you．”

“It"s really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets,”thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead.
Living on an Air Force base was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other.
