It was Mondy. Mrs Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.

Considering that there was no better way. Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher (person whose job is selling meat), and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (* people who buy something from a shop).

But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”

Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!

One day one of God messengers descended to the world and happened to meet an eminent monk who was telling fortunes for two boys. The monk pointed at one of the boys sayingldquo;Number One Scholar,rdquo; and at another oneldBeggar.一天，上帝的一個使者來到了人間，他遇到了一位高僧，這位高僧正在爲兩個孩子占卜前程。高僧指着其中一個孩子說狀元，然後指着另一個孩子說乞丐

Twenty years later, the messenger came down to the world again. When he saw the previous two boys, he was puzzled about the outcome: the originalldquo;Number One Scholarrdquo;now became a beggar while the originalldquo;Beggarrdquo;turned into a Number One Scholar instead.20年後，上帝的使者又來到了人間，看到了先前的那兩個孩子，結果讓他百思不得其解：當初的o;狀元rdquo;如今成了乞丐，而當初的ldquo;乞丐rdquo;反而成了狀元。

So the messenger went to ask God.於是，使者去問上帝。

God answered,ldquo;I endow everyone with talent, which only decides one third of his destiny while the rest lies in how he grasps o;上帝說：ldquo;我賦予每個人的天分只決定他命運的三分之一，其餘的則在於他如何去把握。

Life is just like this.人生就是這樣。

Long, long ago there were only a few thousand people in the world. These people move form place to place over the land, hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any more. They could stay in one place and grow it.

People began to live near one another. And so the first village grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew very big. When machines appeared(出現), life in the villages changed again. Factories were built. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities grew very big.

Today some people are moving back to small towns. Can you tell why?
