Kate said no and listened.She liked Mrs Sydney’s stories.
“Well,” Mrs Sydney said, “Jed Wright was my friend when I was a child.He ran away from home when he was very young and lived for years by doing all kinds of jobs.Finally, in 1927, he went to Michigan, where he found a copper mine(铜矿).He bought the land and ran(经营)the mine and became a very rich man.”
“Jed never married.His parents had died years before, and his only relative was a brother.”
“One day Jed knew he was dying.He sent for a good friend, Dan Cole, who had worked for him for years.”
“Jed gave Dan two envelopes(信封).‘This one is for you’, he said ‘and please give the other one to my brother Alf.He is…’While he was speaking, Jed died.”

“The next day, more than a hundred men came to Dan’s hotel.They all said they were Alf Wright.But though he had never seen Alf, Dan was able to pick him out right away.”
When Mrs Sydney finished her story, she smiled.

Japanese children are so happy because they have three festivals each year. Including Boy’s day, they have Girl’s day and the 7-5-3 Festival.
May 5th is Japanese Children’s Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys, it is usually called Boy's day. On Boy’s day, children don't have to go to school. Each family with a boy hangs up huge carp-shaped flags(鲤鱼旗). The flags are usually with three colors: black (standing for the father), red (standing for the mother), and blue (standing for the son). 1) Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power.
Girl’s day is a girls’ festival on March 3rd. It is also called the Doll’s Festival because on that day, families get a set of dolls at home for their daughters. It is celebrated because the parents want their children to be strong and healthy.
