1 . A man named Randy liked to look for big trees and old trees. He made maps to show where these trees were. He did not want to cut them down. He wanted people to take care of them.
Randy was told that there was a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said to be 314 feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy started to find the tree.
But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger (伐木工). Loggers wanted to cut down Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it.
Randy made a path in the forest so people could see the tallest tree. The tree was so big and beautiful that it would bring them enjoyment. More and more people wanted to save that forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park. Canada’s tallest tree is still there.

I used to believe… |
When I was small, I thought my toys played at night, just like what the toys did in the movie Toy Story. I often woke up to watch my toys, but they did not move at all. So I learned that some movies are not true in real life.
|
When I was young, I thought Santa Claus was real. With my brother, I put flour (面粉) on the floor on Christmas Eve. The next day, we found some big footprints. One day, when I was 13, my father told me he did that. It was funny.
|
When I was a little boy, my parents often touched my nose and then they put the thumb between their fingers to make me think that it was my nose and they had taken my nose.
