In the heart of the forest, there was an annual event that all animals looked forward to—the Great Forest Race. The big animals, like the majestic deer, the powerful bears, and the swift foxes, always dominated the race. They believed that their size and strength were the keys to victory.
Among the small animals, there was a brave rabbit named Hopper who had always dreamt of winning the Great Forest Race. Hopper was small, but he had quick feet and a determined spirit.
The day of the race arrived, and the forest was filled with excitement. The big animals took off, their powerful legs carrying them swiftly through the forest. The small animals, led by Hopper, followed closely behind.
As the race progressed, the big animals began to slow down. Their size and strength, which they had thought were advantages, became obstacles as they struggled to navigate the twisty paths and steep hills of the forest.
Hopper, on the other hand, bounded gracefully over the obstacles. His small size allowed him to weave through the trees with ease, and his determination kept him going strong.
One by one, the big animals began to fall behind. They watched in amazement as Hopper and the other small animals passed them by.
Finally, the small animals, led by Hopper, had not only participated but had also triumphed in face of adversity. The big animals realized that they had been wrong to underestimate the small animals. They had judged them based on their size, without considering their skills or determination.

“A guide dog could be your eyes,” a friend said to me. Was he joking? Over several years, family and friends watched while an eye disease robbed me of my sight. My blindness added to the problem of not wanting a dog near me. “Dogs scare me,” I told my friend. My hands turned to ice if a dog ran over to greet me. But as my world shrank, I sought a solution. Staying active ranked high on my list. So that suggestion from my friend came into my soul. I applied to the guide dog school.
When I arrived at the school, I was greeted by several staff members. One of them was the dog trainer. “Call me Mr. O,” he said. Sitting across the table from Mr. O, I said without a second thought, “I’m afraid of dogs.” He was silent for a moment, but then found a way to work with my problem. “You don’t have to bond with every dog you meet, just one,” he advised.
Day two of the training, the trainer pushed a leather chain into my hand. “Meet Misty. She’s a fifty-pound female German Shepherd (牧羊犬).” My weak knees betrayed (背叛) my smile. Her large size probably guaranteed that she had large teeth to match. “Don’t you want to look her over?” All I knew was that I didn’t want to touch her mouth. Misty sniffed me, so she surely picked up on my fear. Then, Mr. O smiled and suggested, “Go back to your room and get to know her.”
The first night Misty slept in my school room, I had a small victory but not the way I’d hoped. I was so exhausted that I stretched out on the bed, fully dressed. Rolling over on my left side, I felt Misty’s warm breath on my face. She must have looked like a defender, standing guard over me. Covering my head with a pillow, I made a barrier. My blindness kept me from seeing those sharp, pointed teeth. The next morning, as I stepped out of the room, I just wanted this severe experience to be over.

Before the incident, Jeremy Sutcliffe had actually liked snakes. He’d found them beautiful, even. Besides, the 40-year-old wasn’t someone who kept away from wild creatures.
Jeremy was an adventurous outdoors man who took every chance he could to camp and fish. That love of nature was part of the reason Jeremy and his wife, Jennifer Sutcliffe, 43, had recently moved to South Texas from Kansas.
On a steamy Sunday morning in May 2018, the couple were tidying their yard in preparation for an evening cookout with their daughter.
At around 10: 30 a.m., Jeremy began mowing the lawn while Jennifer worked on the garden. She had just reached down to grab a weed when she saw it: a snake, right next to her hand.
Jennifer leaped up as the snake, a yard long, rose into striking position, its dusty triangular head tensed and its tail making scary sounds. "Snake! "yelled Jennifer as she backed away. "Snake! "
When he heard his wife’s cry, Jeremy figured she had run into the snake that often showed up on the property. He grabbed a shovel（铁铲） to frighten the creature away and jogged around the house to the garden.
That was when he heard the sounds. His wife was cornered between some bushes and the house, the snake directly in her path.

We arrived at our new house after two hours' drive from grandpa's farm. Mr. O'Malley, my old dog, simply ran around, smelling every corner of our new house. He cocked his head at the front door and listened to the unfamiliar traffic noise.
On request, I called my grandpa. He picked up on the first ring. "Max, How's your new house?" "Fine. " I swallowed hard, trying to hold back my tears. "I miss you already. "
"It's been so quiet since you left," he said. "Even the squirrels (松鼠) miss being chased by O'Malley, your big ugly dog! You'd better watch him. That dog is used to running wild on this farm. Your mom's going to be busy with her new job. It's up to you to keep him out of trouble. " My grandpa laughed. "You know, I could keep him here on the farm, since you will be coming up every weekend".
"I know," I said. But I couldn't give up my dog for five days a week!
Mr. O'Malley howled all week long. In the evenings, Mom and I walked him together because it took both of us to hold him back. What he wanted to do was run.
At last Friday came, and we packed to go to my grandpa's farm. I was eager to let my dog run loose.
As we started out of the door, Mr. O'Malley pulled hard and I lust the grip. Morn hung on for a moment, but she slipped in the mud and ended up on her face. Mr. O'Malley took off.
We jumped into the car and caught up to Mr. O'Malley. We chased Mr. O'Malley all the way to the park before he'd had enough and was ready to get in the car.
Finally we were on our way to the farm. "That dog can actually run thirty miles an hour!" Mom started to laugh.

It all began when my younger brother, Chris, and I went over to Aunt Barbara and Uncle Howard’s for Thanksgiving. My aunt and uncle lived on a farm at the opposite end of town, and Chris and I loved going there. We lived on a farm, too, and we had to do the morning work before we left. When we finally got to my aunt and uncle’s, Chris and I went outside to see if Uncle Howard needed help with anything. He and Dad had decided to clean out the yard before dinner. Chris and I both helped. But we still found time to ask Uncle Howard a lot of questions about turkeys. He thanked our help, and handed us two turkey eggs when we finished the cleaning work.
“You kids put those under a setting hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, you’ll have a couple of fine turkeys” Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped his egg on the way to the house. At dinner, we both couldn’t wait for the grownups to finish talking so we could go home and tend to our eggs. Dad put the eggs under an old hen, and every day Chris and I would check to see if they’d hatched yet.
Twenty-five days seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked home after school to find the old hen scratching on the floor. Behind her were two little turkeys, falling over their feet and looking sort of confused.
It wasn’t long before the little turkeys began growing feathers. The old hen would stare at her two strange-looking babies, obviously puzzled as to why they looked so different from her other babies. When they got older, we could tell that they were both toms (雄性) Chris named one Bill, and I named the other Timothy. Day by day, both of them grew up and became stronger and stronger.

Teresa Perkins was driving 80 miles per hour along Route 340 on Wednesday. The woman knew she was going too fast, but it was the only hope she had. Her dog, Jett, was dying in the backseat. About a half hour earlier she had received a call from her daughter, who had been playing with Jett, a 3-year-old, 120-pound black German Shepherd. The ball they were playing with got stuck in Jett’s throat. The dog was struggling to breathe.
Perkins raced home to see if she could help, but the dog slobber (口水) had made the ball too slippery to pull out by hand. They put the dog in the backseat of her car and began their race to the vet in Waynesboro.
About halfway there, Perkins got caught in construction traffic. Jett was struggling even more at that point and Perkins knew she only had minutes, but she was now stopped in a line of cars. She began blowing her horn (喇叭) to get the attention of someone, anyone, when three construction workers walked up to her. In a panicked voice, she told them her dog was dying.
“By then my dog was pretty much dead,” Perkins said on Wednesday night. “He was lying in the car, not moving. I had heard him breathe, broken- winded, but then he quit. I was wildly crying and praying.”
Cavaja Holt was one of the workers standing there. He stuck his hand down the weak dog’s throat and pulled out the ball, but Jett still wasn’t breathing. “And the guy behind Holt tried to breathe in Jett’s mouth,” Perkins said. “And he did.” Perkins jumped out of the car and helped start doing first aid on Jett. The two were working together to save the dog’s life, when Holt cried, “He’s awake.”
Perkins began crying and just thanking Holt over and over. When she saw the line of cars, she thought she had made a mistake going that direction. It turned out that it was the best choice she could have made.

Once Jett began breathing again, Perkins continued her trip to the vet.

It was a peaceful night. I was sleeping with my brothers, feeling warm and comfortable. Mama was sleeping nearby, covered by snow. Papa was somewhere nearby, watching over us. There was a bright moon and we all had had a good meal of venison (鹿肉)．
“Uncle Louis is coming, ” Papa said. We loved Uncle Louis. He was a funny wolf, and always had interesting things to tell us and show us.
A little while later, Uncle Louis appeared. We did not approach him with respect the way we approached Papa. We flew at him, jumped all over him, and rolled him in the snow. Uncle Louis laughed and patted us with his paws. He is black all over, with yellow eyes, and he is very tall.
“It’s the longest night of the year, ” Uncle Louis said.“Does everyone feel like taking a run through the woods? I want to show you something unusual.”
Hearing that, Papa warned that it was dangerous to go near that pack of humans who lived in the woods.
“They are hardly dangerous,” Uncle Louis laughed. “They are so clumsy and make so much noise. They are not able to get near us — or even see us if we don’t want them to.Besides, this is their special night. They are quite peaceful and won't be bothering wolves.”
“Oh, please, Papa, let us run through the woods with Uncle Louis and see something unusual！” we all begged.
“It is a fine night,” Papa smiled. “I must admit. I do feel like running.”
