Today Newtown is a clean place, but many years ago there were millions of rats there. The rats even attacked (攻击 ) the cats and dogs. Sometimes many of them tried to bite men or women at night. The rats were very large in size and they harmed (伤害 ) many people.
The city office ordered every one to kill rats. However, most people were lazy, so they did not kill many rats. The city office could do nothing with the citizens and could do nothing with the rats, either. Some time later, they had to pay some money for each dead rat. That made the people very happy. They at once began to kill rats. They got as many dead rats as they could. And some of them even stopped their own work to kill rats because they could get more pay. Every day a city official(官员 ) put all the dead rats together. He was very busy doing that, because sometimes a man brought hundreds of them in one day. Two weeks later, there were not so many rats in the city as before,  but people still brought many dead rats to the city office. The city officials felt surprised at this but at last they found out people were stealing the dead rats they had collected.

One day in Overtown, Florida, 3.7 million dollars fell from the sky! It happened when a truck turned over. There was money everywhere! One man said, “The streets were like gold.” Some people took off their shirts and filled them with money.
Police officers went from door to door in the neighborhood. They asked people to return the money. After six hours, the total returned: zero.
No one in Overtown was surprised. Many people in this town are poor. They need the money to buy food for their children. They think that God sent the money to them.
The police say this is a serious crime. “People took thousands of dollars. It’s not their money, and they have to return it.” The police also say it’s dangerous to keep the money because everyone knows the story from the news. People have money in their pockets and their backyards, and other people will try to steal it.
