Once there was a boy named Jimmy. He started drawing when he was three years old, and when he was five he was already very 1 at it. He drew many beautiful and interesting pictures, and many people 2 his pictures. They thought this boy was going to be 3 when he was a little older, and then they were going to 4 these pictures for a lot of money.
Jimmy's pictures were quite different from other 5, because he never drew on all of the paper. He drew on 6 of it, and the other half was always 7.
“That's very 8,” everybody said. “No other people have ever done that before”.
One day, somebody asked him, “Please 9 me, Jimmy. Why do you draw on the bottom (底部) half of your pictures, but not on the top half.”
“Because I'm small,” Jimmy said, “and my brushes can't 10 very high.”

Peter was a small boy. He lived with his parents in a small house near some hills. The people there were all poor.
One night it was very dry and windy. When everybody was asleep, Peter suddenly heard some noise. It came out from the kitchen. He got up and walked to the kitchen. He found that the wood beside the stove was burning. There was no water tap (水龙头) in the house, so he could not put out the fire. He shouted loudly to wake up everyone in the house. Then he ran out of his house and knocked on the doors of many houses to wake the people up. They all left their houses quickly.
At last the firemen put out the fire. Many people lost their homes. But luckily, all of them escaped the fire with a whole skin.
