"Please take my penny（便士）．" Maggie said to old Dan， the fisherman， who sat on a bench repairing his net．"Please take it．" She said again． Old Dan smiled， and took it． "Thank you， little girl．" he said．
After that，Maggie went to the beach to collect sea shells．She never thought how fast time went by．Two hours later，she sat down on a rock beside a little pool，and Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! He made a loud noise， and then began to pull her coat gently．"Rover wishes me to leave here，I see．" she said， and she rose from the rock and began to go home．However，she found the places she had got down easily was now very difficult to climb up， and because the tide（潮水）had been in for some time， she found some of the stones wet and smooth．
What could poor Maggie do？ She felt sad and cried， but the tide made a much louder noise than she could make． Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the tide could not drown（淹没）it． Finally， Dan heard the loud barking of the dog．He came in a boat and brought Maggie and Rover safely to the land!
"It was the penny that did it， madam．" Dan said to Maggie's mother later， " I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kindly into my hand﹣﹣just as if he would have said，'Rover will be your friend now， little girl．' And I am thinking he has looked after her all day，because he never came near me after that．"
Some years later， Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note， in which was written﹣﹣﹣"Will Maggie help Rover？ ﹣﹣﹣his master is dead．"

Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. "Somebody's got to stop that boy!" she was shouting. "Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny. "
Mrs. Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned (担心) a lot."I didn't know that Danny was being picked on," she answered."He's never said anything about this to me!"Mrs. Green looked at Danny."How long has this been going on?" she asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.
Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to do things with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him.

This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
