Mr White’s family decided to repair their home． Mr White bought the home two and a half years ago． Since the kids were growing up, he and his wife wanted to make some changes to the house．
They decided to knock down their living room wall to open up the space． When the wooden walls were removed, they were shocked to find a lizard stuck in the small space between the walls． The lizard’s foot was stuck(插入) by a nail, which was hammered(钉) from the other side of the wall．
Mrs White reminded him that they hammered a nail to hang up their kids photo． However, they questioned how the lizard had stayed alive so long without moving from that place． So Mr White stopped his work and watched the lizard: what has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn’t know from where another lizard appeared carrying food to the stuck lizard’s mouth． That was a real surprise! This act was heartwarming, and he was moved deeply by the little animal． The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for more than two years! The lizard carried the hope of survival, even in a difficult situation．
Both lizards had never-ending hope for each other and carried their hearts with love and care． Such love, a beautiful love!
Such love happened with this tiny animal． Why can’t we humans always carry that kind of love in our hearts? Life is full of all kinds of difficulties． What we can do is to give our hands to the one in need and share our love． Sharing is caring．

I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun，planting flowers outdoors．But that was before the pair of crows （乌鸦）．Out of nowhere，they had set up their base camp in our garden．

We first discovered the crows on Friday morning．It was early，and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood．I thought they' d go away soon．But，no．They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise．I felt a little disappointed．

Then，on Sunday afternoon，I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground．I found a small coal﹣black bird in the grass．Its eyes were milky，and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it．Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away．I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera．

I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground，growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above．The second I saw this little bird I forgave （原谅） the crows．

To be honest，I' ve never been much of a bird person．I also have a healthy respect for birds．They' re basically living dinosaurs（恐龙）．

I wish they' d chosen another garden．There are only so many sunny days in Seattle，and I still can' t do any gardening out there．But I' m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature．It' s pretty amazing．

The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees，butterflies，and yes，birds．They are welcome here．

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests．Then it reached a desert，"I went through so many difficulties．I should have no problem crossing the desert，" she thought．As she started，she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand．After many tries，she still failed．"Maybe I can' t reach the ocean，" she said sadly to herself．

Our class had a weekly class meeting this week． We talked about how to deal with lies， hoates （骗局） or rumors（谣言）． Here are the stories some students told．

Zhang Wei： Yesterday my friend Jim went to school without his homework． He told his teacher that his dog ate it． It was just an excuse， he made it to cover the fact that he didn't do his homework． The teacher knew about that and made him stay to finish his homework after school． Sometimes we think we can avoid trouble by making excuses when we do something wrong， but we're really making the things worse．

Chen Ping： Last week I got a menage． It said， "A little girl called Julia has got brain cancer． The girl will get three cents from America Online each time this message is forwarded（转发）． So please be kind and forward this to everyone you know． If not， you will have bad luck for a year．" In fact， it is just one of the silly chain letters to cheat you and waste your time．
