Welcome to Guide Dogs Training Center! First let me tell you something about guide dogs. In 1918 a doctor and his pet dog walked with a soldier who was blind. The doctor went in the hospital for a short time. When he came out, he saw his pet dog had guided the soldier on the other side of the hospital yard safely. So he taught a dog to guide a person and it worked out well. Germany helped start a program to teach dogs to be guides. Dorothy, an American woman, went to Germany to find out about the guide dogs. When she came back to the United States, she wrote it for a magazine. Soon more people knew of the guide dogs. The best dogs for the job are clever and fit. It takes more than two years to train a little dog to be a guide dog. When the dog is 14 months old, it learns many instructions. Then the owner and the dog meet, and they practice four weeks. Have I made myself clear? OK, let’s go on visiting.

Peter Pan is one of the best-loved children’s books of all time. The story begins with “ All children grow up, except one”. It tells the story of Peter Pan, a little boy who never grows up and can fly.

Wendy, John and Michael Darling live in London with their parents and their nurse, a dog called Nana. One night when Mr. and Mrs Darling went out, Peter got into the house through the window and met Wendy. Peter taught the Darling children to fly and took them away to Neverland, an island to which people could reach only by flying. It was an island that was full of fun and happiness, and only children who did not want to grow up could live there. On Neverland, they met pirates, fairies, Indians and mermaids and had lots of adventures.

On the island, Wendy became a mother for some children called the Lost Boys. They lived with Peter Pan in a house under the ground. But Captain Hook, an evil pirate who had an iron hook(钩) instead of a right hand, caught Wendy and the boys.
