A famous writer was born in a small town. Although his family was very poor, his parents managed to send him to school. He worked hard until he left college with good grades.
He then put his heart into writing. But he made little money. He couldn’t afford his meals sometimes. Publishing （出版） his works was hard for him. An old woman heard of his experiences. She offered his money. Then he could live on and went on writing. Finally, his books came out. They sold well.
The success of his books brought him great wealth. So he made up his mind to help other young writers in the same way. He built up a fund (基金会). Many young writers received his help.
Kindness is passed on which makes the world a warm place.

At the beginning of human history, people could only eat food they found. But then people learned to find more ways to get food. About 10, 000 years ago people started to farm the land. After that, people developed farming skills.
People eat different food in different areas. In China rice is the main food for people in the south while the people in the north eat noodles. People who live in European countries near the sea eat lots of fish. But in Central Europe, people are away from the sea. So they don’t eat so much fish. They eat more special meat instead.
People eat food with different tools in different areas. In China, people always like using chopsticks while in North American, Australia and Europe, people always like using knives and forks, to our surprise, in India and the Middle East, people always pick up food with their own fingers.
Now people can eat different food from different areas. As we can see it is possible to convey food easily from one part of the world to another. We can almost cat whatever we like at any place of the world. For example people in Britain can cat bananas from Africa and rice from India. Food is becoming a very big business now.

Long long time ago, a man called Tom got a book. It was about the secret of a special pebble (鹅卵石) that could turn anything into real gold. The special pebble was lying among other ones on the beach. Because they looked the same, the special pebble was almost impossible to be found. If people touched the special pebble, it would feel warm. However, other pebbles were cold.
After learning the secret, Tom was excited. He dreamed of becoming rich. So he sold all that he had, bought garden forks, went to the beach and started picking up pebbles. On the first day, he picked up pebbles and then he threw them into the sea if there were not special. Again and again, the special pebble didn’t appear. But he didn’t give up and then he continued.
Several years later, suddenly he picked up one pebble which was warm. But because he had such a strong habit of throwing one pebble after another without thinking, he threw this special one into the sea as usual. He lost the chance to be rich. What a pity!
In fact, good chances do come in our life at any time. Try to hold them as soon as possible instead of missing them.
