【推荐1】A man was going to the house of a rich man. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, “I do not want to eat those apples, for the rich man has a lot of money and he will give me a lot of nice food to eat.” Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dustbin (垃圾桶).

He went on walking and then he came to a river. The river was very wide (宽的), and he could not go across it. He waited for some time and wanted to get help from others. But no one came. Then he said, “I cannot go to the rich man’s house today, for I cannot go across the river.”

So he decided to go home. He felt really hungry on his way home, because he had eaten nothing that day. After walking for some time, he came to the apples he had thrown away. He took the apples out of the dustbin and began to eat them.

【推荐2】Rabbit Shiny and tortoise (乌龟) Smily were neighbours. One day they were reading a story about their great grandfathers: Shiny’s and Smily’s great grandfathers decided to have a race. While Shiny’s great grandfather fell asleep during the race, Smily’s great grandfather won the race by slowly walking towards the finishing line.

Smily said, “If your great grandfather didn’t go to sleep, my great granddad might never win. So his win was not a real win.”

The next day there was a notice in the jungle (丛林) newspaper. It said that there would be a race and the winner would win many prizes. The race started from the bear’s house. From there, the runners had to cross the river. But most of the animals could not both run fast and swim fast. So they didn’t know what to do. Shiny and Smily made a plan.

Shiny ran, while Smily was sitting on his back. He and other animals, like the deer, reached the river side at the same time. But they saw the swift (湍急的) water and stood there because they were worried. None of them liked the idea of crossing the river. Smily quickly got into the water and Shiny sat on his back. Smily started swimming. Soon they reached the other side of the river. Shiny got down from Smily’s back and Smily climbed on Shiny’s back again. Shiny ran fast. They reached the finish line first.

“Both of them are the winners.” The president of the jungle said, “Shiny and Smily helped each other during the race and they won. So let’s give them a big hand.”

One day a police officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms. He was so pleased with what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his fellow officers. When their breakfast arrived the next day, each officer found some mushrooms on his plate.

One officer looked at the mushrooms carefully and then suggested, “They look nice, but I heard that some mushrooms might be poisonous（有毒的）. Let’s get Jimmy to examine a piece for us.” Jimmy was the dog they kept. They brought it in, and fed it one piece of mushroom. The dog quickly ate it, and seemed to enjoy his mushroom. Fifteen minutes later, Jimmy was still alive and kicking without showing any discomfort. The officers were relieved（放心的）and began to eat their meal, saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.

However, an hour later, the gardener rushed into the room and reported in a sad voice that the dog was dead. The officers were astonished and their faces turned white out of fear. Immediately, they jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. The doctors and nurses used pumps（吸物器）to help them get rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs. Everyone had a hard time.

When they returned to the police station, they sat down and started to discuss the mushroom poisoning. Each man explained the pains he had felt and they agreed that it had grown worse on their way to the hospital. “The poor dog must have died a painful death,” said one officer. “Let’s ask the gardener how it died.”

So they called the gardener in and asked him more details about Jimmy’s death. The gardener sighed and said, “Jimmy was a good dog. It is said that a car hit him in the middle of the road. But I guess it didn’t suffer much. It died the moment it was hit.”
