A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest (牧师) were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small plane. Suddenly, the plane had engine trouble. It started to go down. At last, the pilot took a parachute (降落伞) and shouted to the four people that they had better jump, and then he himself jumped out. Unluckily, there were only three parachutes left.
The doctor took one and said, “I’m a doctor. I save lives, so I must live.” Then he jumped out.
The lawyer then said, “I’m a lawyer, and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I must live.” He also took a parachute and jumped out.
The priest looked at the little boy and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long and full life. You are still young. Take the last parachute and live in peace.”
The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, “Don’t worry, Father. The smartest man in the world just jumped out with my backpack.”

Mrs South is excited these days. A sudden terrible disease hardly killed her son two months ago. She and her husband took the poor boy to several hospitals, but few doctors could save him. Watching their helpless son struggling for a bare subsistence(在死亡线上挣扎), the woman’s and her husband’s hearts were broken. At that moment, one of their friends introduced Mr Young who worked in a small hospital to them. Thanks to the doctor, their son was saved and he was all right and came out of hospital last week.
The woman decided to ask the doctor to dinner. The invitation was sent to him yesterday. In reply she received a letter which was impossible to read.
“I must know whether he has accepted or not.” said Mrs South.
“If I were you,” suggested her husband. “I should take it to a chemist(药剂师). He can always read doctors’ letters, however badly written.”
The chemist looked at the notepaper for a while, without waiting for Mrs South’s explanation, and handed her a bottle.
“Here you are, madam,” he said. “That will be two dollars.”

He tried to eat them, but he hurt (弄痛) his teeth. These apples were made of wood (木头), but they looked beautiful. The monkey really loved them.
At noon, the monkey got hungry. He wanted to pick some bananas to eat but he had the apples in his hands. He couldn’t let go of (松开) the wooden apples to reach for the bananas. He was afraid to lose the beautiful apples.

Magdi woke up an hour later. Looking up, he saw black skies. Then he sat up and saw big waves pushing the little boat out to sea.
Two of Magdi’s friends, Malik and Ali, were playing on the beach. “Hey, Magdi! Magdi!” they shouted.” Come back! There’s a storm coming!”
“What did you say?” Magdi shouted. “A storm is coming!” Malik and Ali shouted. “Come back!”
Before Magdi could say thanks,a big wave (波浪) came!It crashed onto the boat and it made Magdi fall into the water.
“Oh, no! Help!Help!” Magdi shouted. But just at that time, he felt something under the water.
“A very big thing!” thought Magdi. Then, to his surprise, he was moving through the waves, heading straight for the beach. He looked down and saw a beautiful face. It was a lovely dolphin!

About 25 people told me they would come. On Saturday afternoon, I went to the supermarket to buy some food and drinks. I came home at around 17:30.
