A brave boy?

  Fred began to go to school two years ago. But he's still in Grade One. He's the tallest and strongest boy in his class. He doesn't listen to the teachers in class and often fights(打架) with the children. His teachers and classmates don't like him. His parents know him well, but they don't know what to do.

  It was a quarter past seven. The supper was ready but Fred didn't come back. His mother stood at the gate and looked. And ten minutes later she saw her son, all in black and blue(浑身青一块,紫一块).

  “Were you in another fight?” asked the woman.

  “No, mommy,” answered the boy. “I was just keeping a bigger boy from beating up(阻止一个大一些的男孩殴打) a smaller one!”

  “How brave(勇敢的) you are!” the woman was happy and said. “Who was the smaller boy?”

  “Me, mommy.”

When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First , we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(隧道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over.
All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm .
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness . They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed , I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world , but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork . Working together , the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves . I also learned that they should be admired for their hard word.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: adversity is a natural part of life , and must be accepted . Unlike the ants ,we cannot give up when we are sad . We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone , we must building another .
Giving up , I say , is not a good choice.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was monitor and captain of the football team.
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building One morning my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school.“I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home,I started to think about what to write.My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw him.How did I see my father?
Hmm…I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me,he wasn’t just a famous astronaut. He was my dad.
My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).
The third prize was announced and it was not me.1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed(失望) at the same time. The second prize was announced.  I t  was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When I finished,Dad put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father’s son.
