The story was a true one and still moved me deeply. Thirty years ago. I got to know a lady named Rose. She had no kids and lived alone. I went to visit her, I always took Rose some coffee and food. One day she said she me to have lunch.
We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street. the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered to the lunch. I was afraid I would hurt her.
There were many people in the and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to the delicious food together. She told that the restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers were working there were all volunteers.
I remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Rose’s work. The weather was and bright, and everyone’s smile was warm and bright as well.
I’m still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do for our friends and neighbors. The world will be if everybody would like to share happiness with others. It will never be dark if there is a light in everyone’s heart.

The young man rode on the back of the turtle and was taken to the secret palace in the sea. When he the palace，he was very surprised and said to the turtle “ nice palace！” To thank him, the king of the turtles gave him a very dinner. He had never seen a dinner before. He received a warm welcome there and was very pleased everything.
After dinner，the king of the turtles said，“I am going to give you two boxes， you can open only one.” “You mustn’t open both. Don’t forget it！” the turtle warned him.“ All right. I will open only one.” The young man promised. At this time，a large wave sent him out of the sea.
After he went back home，he opened the one of the two boxes. To his surprise the box was full of gold. “My God！” he cried. “I‘m a rich man now.” Then he thought，“Things in the other small box must be expensive，too.” He could not wait .

As my friend was passing some elephants，he suddenly stopped．He was confused by the fact that these huge animals were being held by nothing but a small rope．The rope was tied to their front legs． It was that the elephants could break away from the ropes at any time．But for some ，they did not．
My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and didn't to get away．
“Well，” he said，“when they are very and much smaller，we use the same size rope to tie them．At that age，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they are used to that they cannot break away．
They believe the rope can hold them，so they never try to break free．”
My friend was amazed．These animals could at any time break free， because they believed they couldn't，they were stuck right where they were．
Like the elephants，how many of us go life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something，simply because we at it once before? How many of us are being held back by old，outdated that no longer serve us?

After Uncle John’s death, I came to stay in his house for a while. I had been there for two days when a message on the screen of the old computer.

The message said, “You have new ! ” When I read it, I thought it looked like the of a novel. “This looks interesting,” I thought. “It must be one of Uncle John’s friends.” I decided I should make an answer to the e-mail to tell him or her that Uncle John was . However, the computer would not let me .
Every day for the next three weeks, more e-mail kept arriving. I printed of all of them. The story was about Jane Winterbourne, a young writer working on her first novel.
