There was a little boy whose name was Peter. He lived in a village close to the sea. The villagers built sea walls to keep sea water from the doors of the houses. But once the sea walls almost put the village in great danger.

One day Peter was walking on his way back home along the sea wall when it began to rain. All of a sudden, he saw a hole in the wall, from which the sea water was running. Peter shouted for help because he know the hole meant that the sea was making its way through the sea wall, but no answer came. He realized he should do something else as quickly as possible, or the sea water could be pouring over the whole village. He started to rush towards his village. At the same time, the rain became heavier and heavier.

It was getting dark, but Peter rushed on and on. He felt cold and hungry. In the rainstorm, he fell down over and over again. Many times he thought about giving up, but he fought on. He remembered his father's words, "Lots of strong men have made every effort to build the walls which can keep the village safe from danger. The sea walls are really important."

Finally when the boy's father saw him, Peter had been black and blue all over The boy told the villagers what had happened to the sea wall. They repaired it in time. "Thank God! He saved the village, "they praised Peter. All the villagers called him "Peter the Guard" from then on. Peter's parents were really proud of him !

Bill was a boy of 15. His parents went gambling (赌博) all day and all night. Nobody cared about him. He couldn’t pass the exams. So his teachers didn’t like him, neither did his classmates play with him.

Bill often slept in class because his heart was not in school. He almost gave himself up.

One day, Miss Jones, a new teacher, came to Bill’s class. She was a loving and beautiful woman . Bill was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher.

It was Miss Jones’ class. She was asking a question. “I’d like the smartest boy to answer my question.” Then she said loudly, “Bill, please!”

Bill was surprised. And he stood up without a word.

“Just try it! I believe you can!”

After school, Miss Jones had a long talk with Bill. She told him that she cared about him and believed in him.

Bill thought a lot that evening. From then on he arrived at school on time every day. Miss Jones helped him with his homework in the afternoon. She even cooked delicious food for him. She told Bill, “Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.”
