The two boys， Tom and Huck， were very frightened because they worried about being found by Injun Joe and his friend． Through the hole in the floor， the two boys upstairs saw the men eat and talk． Then the men were tired and fell asleep． Tom and Huck lay there for a very long time． Finally， the two men woke up and lifted up a stone in the ground and took out some money they had stolen． Then Injun Joe lifted up another stone and found a box．
"What's this？" Injun Joe asked．
The two men pulled the box out of the ground and opened it． The two boys， Tom and Huck， could see there was much money in it． They were very excited．
"There's thousands of dollars in the box!" said his friend．
"It must have been left here by Murrel，" said Injun Joe．
"What will we do with it？"
"We'll take it to my hideout（隐匿处）．"
"Number one or number two？"
"Number two， under the cross．"
Then Injun Joe and his friend saw some tools in the corner and decided to go upstairs． But the stairs broke when Injun Joe stood on them! So the two men left the house and went towards the river． Tom went home as quickly as he could．

When Major， the most respected pig， saw all the animals were present， he cleared his throat and began：
"Now， comrades （同志们） ， I don't think I shall be with you for many months． Before I die， let me ask you a question． What is the nature of this life of ours？ Let us face it： our lives are miserable and short． We are born， we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies， and those of us who are able to do it are forced to work to the last
"Why then do we continue in this miserable？ Because nearly the whole of the produce of our hard work is stolen from beings． There， comrades， is the answer to all our problems． It is summed up in a single word﹣ Man． Man is the only real enemy we have． Remove （消灭） Man from the scene， and the basic cause of hunger and overwork is ended for ever． "
"And now， comrades， I will sing an old song that came into my dream last night to you． I am sure， it was a song sung by the animals of long ago and have been lost to memory for marry years． It is called Animals of England．"
His voice was hoarse （沙哑的）， but he sang well enough to throw the animals into the wildest excitement． Almost before Major had reached the end， they had begun singing it for themselves．
Unluckily， the singing woke Mr． Jones， the farm owner， who jumped out of bed， thinking that there was a fox in the yard． He took the gun which always stood in a comer of his bedroom， and let fly 6 shots （射击） into the darkness． The pellets （子弹） flew into the wall of the yard and the meeting broke up hurriedly． Everyone ran to his own sleeping place． The birds jumped onto their trees， the animals settled down in the straw， and the whole farm was asleep in a moment．

I saved the grain carefully and finally had enough to plant． I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away．
Then when my crop bore its fruit， the birds discovered it． The birds were not afraid of my dog at all． I shot them but as soon as I walked away， they returned． At last， I killed some birds and hung them among the crop， hoping they would serve as the scarecrows， which turned out to be successful． By harvest time， I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat．
With my new grain to store， I found a new problem． The fine grain ran through my baskets． It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots﹣ one for rice and one for wheat．
Next I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread． I made and baked bread in my oven． I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking．
Soon after that，I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury． I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea．
I tried to turn over the ship's boat that I had seen washed up， but failed． I was still determined to have a boat． So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down． Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat．
When it was time to launch， I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream． The boat was far too heavy for me to move． I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water． I soon saw it would take me twenty years of constant labor．
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats， but I was no closer to a sea journey．

"The ivy leaves，" replied Joanna． "When the last one goes， I'll die． I've known that for two days． Didn't the doctor tell you about it？"
"Joanna， don't say that． Now， eat some soup and I'll finish my picture．"
"I don't want any soup，" said Joanna， looking out of the window． "Now there are only four．"
"Joanna dear， try to sleep． I must ask Mr． Berman to come up． I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer．"
Mr． Berman， who was over 60years old， lived downstairs． He was a painter， too， but he never sold anything， and he drank a lot． Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying．
"She can't really think that this will happen! The poor woman!" he said．
…
Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant． After a few windy days， the leaf was still there．
"Susie，" said Joanna， "I've been a bad girl． That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die． Bring me some soup， dear．"
The next day， the doctor said： "She's out of danger． But poor Mr． Berman downstairs is dying． There's no hope for him， I'm afraid．"
That afternoon Sue went into Joanna's bedroom．
"Joanna dear， Mr． Berman died today． And do you know why？ One terrible， cold wet night he took a ladder and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up， and ﹣ oh， look at the last ivy leaf on the wall! Why didn't it ever move in the wind？ Can't you see？ It was Mr． Berman's last great picture． He painted it there the night that the last leaf fell．"

Once upon a time there lived a king called Minos．He ruled the island of Crete．And he also had a terrible monster （怪兽） called the Minotaur．The Minotaur lived at the center of a very large maze（迷宫）．It had the body of a man but the head of a bull．
Minos was a cruel king．Whenever he was bored，he would attack（进攻） a nearby island called Athens．In order to get peace，King Aegeus of Athens made a deal with King Minos．If Minos didn't attack Athens，he would send seven boys and seven girls to Crete every nine years to be eaten by the Minotaur．
It was time again to send the children to Crete．Theseus，the son of King Aegeus，could not stand this situation，and decided to go as the seventh boy and kill the Minotaur．He promised his father that if he was successful，he would use white sails（船帆） instead of the black ones to show he was alive．
When arriving in Crete，Theseus met King Minos'daughter called Ariadne．She fell in love with him and wanted to help him．So when the children were sent to the Minotaur，Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of string （细绳） and a knife．Theseus left a line of string behind him when he entered the maze．After he killed the monster，he followed the string and got out of the maze．Ariadne was waiting outside．They quickly ran away together before Minos could catch them．
However，on the journey home，Theseus was so full of joy that he forgot to change the color of the sails．As soon as King Aegeus saw the black sails，he was so upset and jumped into the sea．Since then，the sea has been called the Aegean Sea in memory of King Aegeus．
