God said, “Among the many angels (天使), I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you. Your angel will sing for you and smile at you every day.”

“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me,” the child continued, “if I don’t know the language that people talk?”

【推荐2】I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

【推荐1】It was 3:21 a.m. when ten-year-old Glenn Creamer was woken up by the smell of burning. Except for the crack（爆裂声）of flames somewhere below, there was not a sound in the house.

As his father was away on business, Glenn was worried about his mother, his 14-year-old sister Karen and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they woke up. Then he helped them to the garden. There, his sister and brother took short and quick breaths and coughed.

Glenn raced back into his mother’s room. He found it impossible to wake her up and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy kept calm.

Luckily the telephone in the bedroom was still working. Glenn called his father. After Glenn made sure his father would telephone the firemen and ambulance service, he went on saving his mother.

First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. In this way, she would be kept away from the fire before the firemen arrived. Then, he went back to the garden.

Later, he heard the fire engine coming up. But how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where fire had almost covered the ground floor?

Fetching a ball of string（绳）from the garage Glenn raced back to his mother’s room. He tied one end of the string to her hand. Then he began to run back. He laid out the string as he went through the hall and back out into the garden.

Minutes later, he told the Fire Chief John Coughlan, “The string will lead you to my mother.” Mrs Creamer was saved finally.

【推荐2】A man who was climbing a mountain thought he was alone. But suddenly, he was hit by a falling rock and then, a woman climber fell from above, landing right on him.

They were both badly hurt. His leg was broken. He tried to stand but could not. The woman had broken her arm and could not climb. What were they going to do? It was very cold and night was coming. They both knew that they would not live through the night if they did not make it down the mountain before darkness.

________ “Look,” she said, “I have two good legs, and you have two good arms. Together, that makes one healthy body.” They tied themselves together so that she was on his back. Slowly, they climbed down, bit by bit. Every step was difficult. They had to stop every minute or so. When they finally reached the foot of the mountain hours later, they were found and rushed to the hospital. In the end, they were fine.

【推荐3】I grew up in the countryside. I didn’t understand what it brought to me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills than my peers（同龄人）who grew up in cities.

I learned to cook at around 10 years old. The first skill mastered was making dough（面团）. In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles from the beginning in the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have supper sooner. I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mom do it—just mix water and flour（面粉）, right? Not quite! It turned out to be a mess for a while. First I made the dough too soft. Then I made it too hard. But as I kept trying. I learned the trick.

Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. More importantly, thanks to my cooking skill, I live better during the pandemic. Now working from home I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery. It saves money and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to feed me.

Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience taught me things that many of my peers still don’t know. For example, the part of a potato that has sprouts can be planted as a seed. I also learned that the fruits of peanut and ginger plants grow under the soil. I once discussed this with my friends from the city. They thought it was a pity that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives.

Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. But it can’t compare to the joy of learning firsthand, watching plants blossom and grow. It brings a new way to look at the world. You’ll value everything on your plate.

This may be why I’m so happy to hear that labor（劳动）education will be required in China. Starting with the upcoming fall semester, students in primary and middle schools will have at least one class every week to learn basic household skills like cooking and cleaning. Trust me. These practical skills will help you for the rest of your life.
