We lived in a country area and had to visit a man with a few cows to get our milk many years ago. I was afraid of this big dog. It looked strong and spent a lot of time barking and showing his huge teeth.
My elder brother, Ivan, he laughed at me and said Momo had a bark worse than his bite. "Harry said his dog wouldn't hurt us," He said. I was afraid and walked behind Ivan while Harry gave us some milk and Momo barked at us.
Harry laughed, "Momo always barks," he said, "come on, take no notice of him, pat him, then he won't bite." He came to Momo and carefully patted Momo on the head.
Unluckily. Milk went everywhere. Ivan needed ten stitshes（缝针）in his hand and couldn't work for weeks.

An old man was fishing in the bank of river. A girl came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and It didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the girl was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the girl shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked "Why don't you want the fish?"
The girl replied, "I want the fishing rod（竿）in your hands."
The old man asked, "Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."
