The Water of Life
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The creeks and streams were long gone back into the earth. It was a dry season that would bankrupt several farmers before it was through. Every day, my husband and his brothers would go about the tiring process of trying to get water to the farm. If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything.
It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the only miracle I have seen with my own eyes. I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He wasn’t walking with the usual carefree abandon of a youth but with a serious purpose. I could only see his back. He was obviously walking with a great effort trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches, thinking that whatever task he had been doing was completed.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful stride toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking carefully to the woods, and then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey. He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked,very careful not to spill the water he held. Maybe two or three table spoons were held in his tiny hands. I sneaked closer as he went into the wood. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose.As l leaned in to spy on him, l saw an amazing sight. A mother deer with a huge pair of deer horns appeared in front of him, with a baby fawn （幼鹿）lying on the dry ground. I almost screamed to get him away.

Once, a poor boy lived in a village with his mother and little sisters. The village was beautiful, but not a highly populated area, since many of its residents had moved to the cities in search of livelihood.
The boy’s mother worked very hard to feed her children. His father had passed away a few years ago. One day, as the mother was returning from work, rain started. She was wet through by the time she reached home. She was trembling badly, and fell sick. After a few days of being ill, she passed away.
Now there was no one at the home who could work and make some money. The food was over in a few days. One morning, the boy woke up feeling hungry, but there was nothing to eat. His two younger sisters were also hungry, and they looked at their brother with sad eyes.
At first, the boy didn’t know what he could do to feed his sisters and himself. He was not strong enough to do heavy jobs. Besides, he had no technique to do skilled work. However, they had to live. So finally, the boy decided to do some work and earn money to buy food. After sometime, he found a part-time job to do. He worked very hard. The boss was quite satisfied with the intelligent boy and his workmates liked him and cared for him as much as possible. Gradually, the boy got enough money to buy items for his sisters and himself. Soon they rode out the storm and lived a happy life.
One day, on the way home, the boy saw an old man on the roadside, who looked very sick. The boy went to him and asked, “Why are you sitting beside the road all alone? May I help you?” The old man was surprised to hear the voice of the young boy.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________It was a quiet and peaceful afternoon. Connie, already home from school, was sitting comfortably in a chair at the kitchen table, doing her homework. Baby Sister was in the living room, building a castle with her bricks and singing softly to herself.
Suddenly they heard a familiar and unwelcome sound: “La-la-la-la-la-la.”
Connie remarked that trouble was coming, and she was right. A moment later the back door flew open and banged against the kitchen wall. As 8-year-old Benjy ran into the dining room, he inquired about everyone’s whereabouts, accidentally crashing the door against the wall with such force that a small vase dropped to the floor and broke into-pieces.
“Benjy, you naughty boy!” cried Connie. “Whatever will Mom say?”
“Hi, Con. What are you doing here? You don’t want to read anymore, do you?” said Benjy excitedly. “Let’s play something. Look what I found today.”
As Benjy emptied his pockets, sticks, rocks, and candies dropped on the floor and rolled in every direction. However, Connie refused to play. She mentioned that she needed to learn the poetry for a test. To Connie’s shock, Benjy suddenly knocked her book out of her hand and ordered her to play with him first.
Connie was annoyed and jumped out of her chair. “Why did you do that?” she cried. “Why can’t you leave people alone?”
“Oh, stuck-up (趾高气扬的), are you?” teased Benjy, pulling Connie’s hair and kicking her book across the room. Unfortunately it hit Baby Sister’s castle and brought it crashing down in ruins.
“Boo-hoo-hoo!” cried Baby Sister. “You’ve broken my castle, and I wanted Mamma to see it. Boo-hoo-hoo!” She picked up a block and cast it as hard as she could at Benjy’s head. He ducked (躲避), and it missed him, striking a picture and breaking the glass.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I remember the first time I met Roy. He was standing in the center of a group of boys, talking and laughing. He was a cute boy known in the class for his kindness and generosity. My name is Daniel, a new boy in the class. Our whole family had moved from the north of England because of my father being offered a job here. I lost all my old friends and felt lonely at my new school.
Most students in my new class weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was one of the few people who were kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and as a result, I started getting to know people. Roy and I became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters, things that were important to us.
But just under a year ago, Roy’s father was knocked over by a car, who died a few days later. His family had to move to a much smaller house in order to manage financially. Roy changed completely, becoming silent and moody, who seemed to lose all interest in his work. These days, Roy and I saw each other from time to time, but we were no longer close.
Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity. It was very successful and by the end of the day, we had made about f500.Our class teacher, Mr. White, came and chatted to a group of us that included Roy, and held up a box for us to see. There’s￡500 in here,” he said with a smile.
Having left something in the classroom, I went inside to get it, and found Roy holding a wallet in his hand. Seeing me, he walked out without saying a word. The next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. Mr. White had left the box in the classroom for a few minutes, but when he came back it had disappeared.
This weekend morning, having thought about the situation for a while, I decided to ask Roy about the the theft and went to see him.
