There are a lot of interesting things in the world. If someone tells you that they can fish in the desert, you must think they are joking. But this is true. In some places of Africa, people can fish in the desert. It must be very interesting to get some fish from the sand. And in the woods of Asia there is a kind of bird. To our surprise, this kind of bird doesn’t eat anything but iron. I think the bird’s teeth must be harder than the iron. We all know that snakes can eat mice, but in a place in Africa, a kind of big mouse can eat snakes. Isn’t it interesting? Have you ever heard of “brush trees”? They are different from trees we know. People use branches to brush teeth, and they are good for people’s teeth.
You must be very surprised to hear these interesting things. But they are all true. In fact there are a lot of interesting things in our world. If you are careful enough, you can find them easily around you.

Cindy, my dog, was six years old and she was the most home-loving and obedient (温驯) dog. I loved her and she knew it. When my son was born, she was good to him. She could sit beside my baby for hours, putting her front legs up onto the pram (婴儿车) every now and then to make sure he was OK.
My son was almost three years old. One morning, around 4 a.m., our son tried to go out of our house. Cindy knew that little kids weren’t allowed to go through the front door without adults. So Cindy followed Tom, my son.
At 5 a.m., the police woke (唤醒) us by knocking on the door. Their words were: Your son was nearly killed but your dog saved him. They then told us what happened. A truck driver was driving along in the dark and could see something “light-colored” moving on the road. As he got closer, he could see a dog at the side of the road barking (吠) and barking at the “light colored” something. At the last moment, he found that it was a child. Before the truck could stop, the dog ran out into the road, jumped at the child’s back and “threw” him away with the mouth, and at the same time, the truck hit the dog and killed her.
That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.
