My name is Mary. I’m a teacher. It’s 9 o’clock on Monday. My class begins. There is a boy in my class. His name is Bob. I ask Bob, “I buy some apples from a fruit seller. And I give you one apple and one apple and one apple. How many apples have you got?”   

After some time, Bob says, “Four.”   

I say, “Please listen to me again. It’s not difficult. I give you one apple and one apple and one apple. How many apples have you got?”

“Four,” Bob says.   

I remember Bob likes carrots. Then I say, “I give you one carrot and one carrot and then one carrot. How many carrots have you got?”

“Three?”

“Yes!” Once again, I ask, “I give you one apple and one apple and one apple. How many apples have you got?”   

“Four.”   

“How? Please tell me. How?” I ask.

“Because I already have an apple in my bag,” says Bob.   

Now I think Bob gives the right answer all the time.

Rose loves drawing, but she doesn’t have pens or pencils. She draws pictures on the ground. An old woman sees Rose drawing and says, “Hello! Here’s a pen for you.”

“Thank you!” says Rose. She is very happy. She draws a dog first. The dog runs to her! “Wow!” she says. “A magic（有魔力的）pen!”

Rose draws pictures for poor people with the pen. She draws a jacket for a little boy, a notebook for a teacher, and a quilt for an old man.

The king hears about the magic pen and asks Rose to draw gold（黄金）for him.

“No. You have gold,” says Rose. The king puts her into prison（监狱）. But Rose draws a key to the door and a horse to help her leave. The king can’t catch her.

Today, Rose only uses her magic pen to help poor people.
