A farmer had some little dogs for sale, from $30 to $50. He painted an ad to1them. At that moment, a little boy came over and said, "Sir, I want to buy one of your dogs."
"Well," said the farmer, "You need quite a lot of2to buy the dogs." The boy said, "I've got 2 dollars. Can I take a look at3?''
"OK," said the farmer. Then he called the dogs over. Four little dogs came out4the doghouse. Then the little boy found something else inside the doghouse.
Slowly, the fifth little dog appeared (出现),5this one was smaller. There was something wrong with one of his legs. When he was walking, he fell down (摔倒) for many times, but he still tried to6. "I want that one," the little boy said.
"Son, you don't want that dog. He will7be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would," said the farmer.
Then the little boy showed one of his8to the farmer. His leg had a steel brace (钢支架) on it. Then he said, "You see, I don't run too well myself. And it makes me9. So I think he will need someone who understands."
"How much?" asked the little boy. "No charge (收费)," answered the farmer. "There's no charge for10and understanding. I'm sure you're the best owner for him."

Once, there were two women who lived in the same village. They grew the same plants in their own gardens. One woman called Lisa was hard-working and took care of her plants every day. The other woman, named Rebecca, didn't do too much. She just let her plants grow however they wanted.
One evening, there was a heavy rain. It destroyed (毁坏) many of the plants.
The next morning, when Lisa woke up, she found that all of her plants fell down because of the rain. However, when she got to Rebecca's garden, she saw that all of the plants were still standing in the garden. Rebecca's plants lived through the rain!
How did this happen? The plants of the relaxed woman learned to do things on their own from the very beginning. They grew deeper roots (根) and made places for themselves in the soil (土壤). They could stand up strong on their own, even in a heavy rain. But since Lisa did everything for her plants, they never learned to live through any difficulties.
It is the same for us. One day, you'll have to let go and become independent. If you just let others do everything for you, you'll never learn to do things by yourself.
Lulu is from Hungary. She first came to Beijing in 2017. Here, she found her greatest hobby—Peking Opera (京剧).
"The clothes were of course special, and the movements (动作) were so excellent. The face-painting was something I've never seen before. It is so different from Western opera," she said.
Now Lulu is in the Peking Opera group at Tsinghua University, where she studies. The group members practice twice a week and have a rehearsal (排练) on Fridays. Mostly, they practice singing and movements.
The biggest problem Lulu faced was learning the Asian way of singing. "At first, I always didn't feel well with my throat (喉咙), because I was using my voice in the wrong way." she said. But with the help of the teachers, she has been much better.
There are also many students from other countries in the group. "I really love it because Peking Opera brings us together," she said. "I really believe that art and music can be a bridge between different countries, and Peking Opera will get more and more popular among the people around the world."
A long walk is a good way to keep healthy, but for Emma Reade, it's also a way to help to feed people. Emma, 6, is taking part in the FootSteps Challenge (步数挑战). FareShare, Australia's biggest charity (慈善) kitchen, runs it.
Every year, thousands of Australians don't know where their next meal is coming from. The workers in FareShare are there to help. They call themselves "happy bees". They get surplus (剩余的) food from supermarkets and restaurants and cook it into free, delicious and healthy meals for Australians in need. Also, they raise (筹集) money to help feed people in need by running the FootSteps Challenge.
Participants (参与者) have to walk, run, ride or even swim to meet their goal (目标) of 25 km, 50 km, 100 km or 150 km over 15 days.
Emma hopes to move 100 km to raise money for FareShare. So far, she's finished 19 km, well on the way to meeting her goal of $2000. She wants to get her friends to join her.
"Moving makes you feel happy and helping other people makes you feel happy, too." Emma said. The little girl likes all kinds of moving. Every school day she is walking, running or riding 1 km. Then at the weekend she is doing a lot more. "I feel great about Emma," said her mother Nicole. "We think it's important to try our best to help other people."
