Many years ago, a crocodile(鳄鱼)lived in a pool. He spent most of his time in the shady parts of the green pool. When he was hungry, he hid into the water towards the watering hole where all the animals gathered to drink the clear water on hot days. The crocodile was very cunning(狡猾的)and kept only his eyes above the water as he moved towards the other animals, Then his big jaws closed in on some unlucky animals that didn’t see him coming. They became his delicious dinner at last.

The crocodile said to himself, “I’m so strong that no one can get away from me. “ All of the animals were afraid of the crocodile except a butterfly(蝴蝶).

One day, the butterfly noticed the crocadile moving closer to the other animals in the pool. She flew around the crocodile’s eyes to get his attention. She said, “You might be strong, but I bet you won’t catch anything today. “ She flew in circles around the crocodile’s face.

The crocodile rose up out of the water a bit so he could talk to the butterfly. He said, “Of course I will. I’m the strongest animal in the pool. I can catch any animal I want. “ The butterfly flew past the crosodile’s nose and said, “I don’t think so. “ She flew very close to the crocodile’s car and teased(戏弄) him with her wings.

“Stop that!” The crocodile couldn’t keep his temper and shouted. Not far away, two birds looked up from the watering hole. They saw the danger and flew to the treetops just in case. At the same time, the rabbits and frogs at the watering hole looked up as well and saw the crocodile. In a flash, they all ran away and hid in the forest.

The butterfly danced in the air just in front of the croondile’s nose. “Being strong isn’t everything, you know.” Then she landed slowly on the tip of the crocodile’s nose. She teased his leathery skin with her wings.

4 . 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.

“She needs me.” Those were the exact words I spoke to my husband when I spotted Dottie, a little dog we found at a local shelter eight years ago.

Dottie leaned (倾斜) away when I tried to pet her and refused to let me hold her. While the other dogs jumped and barked, Dottie returned to the back of the cage, curled up in a ball, hoping us to leave her alone.

On the entire drive home, Dottie was in fear. So, upon arrival at our house, we got right to work. I held her as much as possible, touching her head and softly singing in her ear. We learned that she loved belly touch, so every time we passed by, we would offer a gentle touch. Eventually, we noticed her presenting her belly as we walked by her. I knew we were making real progress when I found her quietly sleeping on a chair one day, her head resting on one of my shoes. My heart melted (融化) as I realized she had brought it there because it contained my smell, and she wanted it nearby.

Ever so slowly, our little dog came to life. She began to play with toys, enjoy walks, and rest on our laps. There was no special treatment, no fancy food or toys. All we did was love her. And she grew well. She was so broken when we first met her that we had no idea what her true personality would be. But now we found a sweet, playful, loving soul.

One day, a few years after her adoption, I was busy doing housework around the house, doing laundry and climbing the stairs from the basement up to the main floor. When I finished, I sat down and enjoyed a well-deserved break. That’s when I realized I hadn’t seen Dottie for a while. I called to her and began searching. My heart raced and my pace quickened as I began checking under beds and behind sofa.
