We must come back tomorrow morning with our nets and catch these fish!” So saying, the fishermen left.
When the eldest of the three fish heard this, he was afraid. He called the other fish together and said, “Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pond at once. The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!”
The second of the three fish agreed. “You are right,” he said. “We must leave the pond.”

【推荐3】The Marches’ house was between two large houses. On one side there was an old brown house. On the other side there was a large stone mansion (豪宅). This was the home of old Mr Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. It was a very grand house and the rooms looked very comfortable behind the heavy silk curtains at the windows. But it was a house without life. The Marches’ house was different. It was always busy and full of noise and people.
A few days after the party Jo saw Laurie again. He was standing at an upstairs window in the mansion and looking down at their garden. Beth and Amy were playing in the snow. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. Laurie’s face was very sad.
“Poor boy!” she thought. He’s all alone. It’s a shame! He needs some friends. She couldn’t stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him but how could she go to his house without an invitation?
Then one snowy afternoon, while she was looking out of the window, she saw Mr Laurence. He was getting into his carriage. He was going out. This gave her an idea.
“Laurie is alone in the house,” she thought. “Perhaps he’s looking out of his window.”
She put on her hat and an old coat and took a broom and a shovel from the kitchen.
“What are you going to do, Jo?” asked Meg when she saw her sister in the hall.
“I want to get some exercise,” answered Jo with a smile. “I’m going to clear the garden path.”
Laurie was standing at the window again. He wasn’t looking at her so she threw a snowball to get his attention (注意力). When the snow hit the glass, he turned his head immediately and a big smile changed his pale, sad face.
Jo laughed and shouted, “How are you? Are you ill?” Laurie opened the window and said, “I’m better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and I had to stay inside for a week.”
“I’m sorry,” said Jo. “Are you bored?”
“Yes, very,” he replied. “Don’t your friends come to visit you?”
“No. But I don’t want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache. “Girls are quiet.”
“I don’t know any girls.”
“You know us.”
“That’s true! Can you come and visit me?” cried Laurie. “Please!”
“I’m not quiet but I’d like to come,” replied Jo. “But I must ask Mother first.”
She picked up her broom and ran into the house.

【推荐2】One day at the end of the class, a wise teacher told each of her students to bring a plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school.
The next day she told her students, “From today on, for every person you don’t like in your lives, you can choose a potato, write the person’s name and the date on it and then put it in the plastic bag.” Day after day, some of the students’ bags were very heavy. They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere they went for a week. They would put it inside their quilts (被子) at night, on the seats when sitting in a car or on a bus, and next to their desks at school. The days carrying the bag around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to it all the time so that they wouldn’t forget it. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty (恶心的). They all tried to get rid of them.
Too often we think of tolerance (宽容) as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred (仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives.
