Pip is a cute little squirrel (松鼠) from a loving family, whose mother often tells him that sharing is caring.

On a cold morning in the park, Pip was looking for a tree with enough branches to shelter him from the cold. Suddenly, he found a huge one, with many branches, and to his joy, a big, brown acorn was hanging from one of the lower ones.

Knowing how important acorns were at this time of year, Pip moved as fast as his tiny legs could carry him, and climbed up the side of the tree, heading towards the acorn. As he got close to the acorn, he thought about how hungry he was, as he hadn’t had any food for two days. He reached his paw (爪子) forward eagerly and just as he was about to take his first bite, somebody took the acorn from his paws and climbed down the tree. Angry and still hungry, Pip ran after the acorn thief, and jumped across the branches, from tree to tree. He would save his lunch, no matter what!

“Hey! Come back here! That’s my acorn. I found it, fair and square,” shouted Pip, who was out of breath.

The acorn thief was another squirrel, who Pip recognized as Rascal, a squirrel in the park who always stole food from others.

“You will never catch me, Pip! Everyone knows that you are the slowest squirrel in the park and I haven’t eaten today, so this nut is mine!” said Rascal.

Hearing Rascal make fun of him made Pip angrier and run faster. Finally, Pip caught up with Rascal. After what seemed like the longest fight ever, Pip managed to take the acorn out of Rascal’s paws and he ran as fast as he could to hide away. As Rascal tried to follow Pip, a huge tree branch fell on him and stopped him from running after the acorn. Rascal couldn’t climb over the branch and he was forced to admit defeat.

Pip happily hugged his acorn.

3 . The second platform of this far-famed North station, under the lengthy railway track, lays our “mighty mice kingdom.” I was born here on a rainy November night. Since then, the deafening trains accompanied me to sleep and woke me up early in the morning. The mountainous waste, the irregular black stones, the man in white waving the flags, people rushing towards their future, the roaring trains, the frequent announcements. All these have been close to my heart since I was born.

In the midst of the track, I saw a delicious piece of banana fritters that might have been thrown out of the train by someone. My eyes shone bright, and my mouth watered. My feet paced towards the yummy heavenly treat. Suddenly, the air was blowing violently, and my skin’s hair stood up again. I ran back to the hole. The Island Express train came and passed by in a flash of a second. My eyes became yellowish, dreaming of the mouth-watering banana fritters.

I advanced slowly, then two feet hurriedly, and finally, my hands were about to touch the crispy skin of the banana fritters. “Thud…” a cruel crow kidnapped my meal, destroyed my dreams and flew away. The flood of happiness inside my heart turned to a stormy sea. It was a public secret that I led a poverty-stricken life since the mice kingdom collapsed in 1999.

Again, the tiny buds of air around me was blowing, and I ran back to the hole. Dodger Express was passing by. The train made mocking (嘲笑的) sounds at me. “Loser”…. “Loser”…. A stone toppled and fell on my head. I hated myself, hated everything. I fell asleep to escape from this world of embarrassments.

Spenser’s First Web

Spenser was a small black spider (蜘蛛). Like all of his brothers and sisters, he had eight legs to help him walk and run. He was now big enough to know how to move all his legs together and not trip over them. Spenser was getting bigger every day.

Today Spenser felt nervous. It was time for him to learn to spin (织) a web on his own. He had watched his mother build beautiful, soft webs from the silk she made herself.   His mother’s webs were lovely. They took a long time to make, and in the morning, they were covered with drops of dew that made them look like castles.

“OK, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “It’s time to spin your first web. Let’s begin by making a big plus sign.” Ms. Spinney was Spenser’s teacher. She was old and small but very strong. She quickly used her silk to make a plus sign between two nearby leaves.

Spenser was able to make silk, but he had trouble attaching it to anything. No matter how hard he tried, the threads (丝) slipped away and fell to the ground. Spenser tried hard, but he was getting tired.

“Take a break, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “You’re trying very hard, but I can see that you’re getting frustrated (沮丧的).”

“I’m not frustrated!” said Spenser. “I’m mad that I’m not good at it, and I’m sad that I can’t do it. ”Spenser felt like he was going to cry.

I bought Jude as a tiny puppy after my previous dog died in a horrible incident. My heart was just broken and it was only having Jude that brought me back round from that pain. He was a lovely and happy pet.

For the first time in years, our whole family had gone on holiday together. It was only for four days but it meant my dog Jude was going to be looked after by someone outside the family. I was a bit nervous about it. After struggling for several days, I eventually booked him into a home boarding place in Belfast. I was worried about him the moment he was dropped off, because he had never been in kennels before.

The emotions we have gone through in the last few days have been awful. Jude was used to the comforts of a home and he had never been on his own before. Thus, I was worried about him at the bottom of my heart. Then unfortunately, the accident happened.

We went away on Monday, July 11, and he was missing on the 12th after being left in an exercise area. But it was on Thursday that I was told he had gone though I messaged the kennels every day to see how he was.

The moment we got home, we went looking for him but we didn’t know the area. My daughters Karla and Leanne took a tent and camped out to keep looking for Jude and they con-firmed a number of sightings of him. There were leaflet drops, drones put up and ground searches and posters. Social media was flooded with his photo and we got news of lots of sightings which helped. On Sunday night, my grandson Caidon who is nine, his mum Ashleigh and their dog Bonnie, went with us to the location of a reported sighting by a kind man and there Jude was.

We had two dogs, Lucky and Lily Bit. Either of them     1     (be) our favorite. Lucky loved much freedom and tried to find chances to leave the confines (束缚) of her indoor living routine. Our     2     (solution) to the problem were not useful. Lily Bit, on the other hand, did exactly as she was told to, never losing her way and always staying close to our home except when she came under the influence of Lucky.

Whenever the two got out together, on a regular basis, they could     3     (see) out of sight, often staying away for hours. More often than not, they d arrive home near suppertime, covered in mud and leaves.

I remember one time,     4     they once again mysteriously escaped, but this time they returned with clean bodies.     5     they could return with clean bodies was what we wanted to know. A few days later, my wife made an appointment to see our neighbor Carl, who lived in a house     6     (locate) not far from ours.

“I saw your two dogs the other day,” Carl said with a smile.

“Oh, yes? I’m so sorry. They have been so good lately, so it was such a surprise when they got out. I sure hope they didn’t cause any trouble,” my wife responded to his question. “Oh, no, no trouble at all. Did you have any idea where they went?”

“No,” my wife answered.

“They attended my dog’s funeral (葬礼). Their unexpected     7     (participate) in it always puzzles me,” Carl said.

“Oh, no. I didn’t know Toby had died,” Ann said,     8     (feel) so sorry.

“Yep, it died a couple days ago. He was buried in the back lot when your two dogs came running up. They sat down not far from me and watched     9     (intent). After I finished burying him, ultimately they left.”

“Wow, that’s amazing!” my wife replied. “Toby was Lily Bit’s father, you know. Now they can’t be reunited     10     each other.”
