It was pouring outside. We all stood there 26 , some patiently , others annoyed 27 nature messed up (弄糟) their hurried day . I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens 28 away the dirt and dust of the world.
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice 29 me.
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it 30 down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and 31 : “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she 32 her Mom’s arm.
“This morning? 33 did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,” If God can get us through this, he can get us through 34 .”
The entire crowd turned 35 . Mom paused and thought for a moment about 36 she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being 37 . But then we heard, “Honey, you are 38 . Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then 39 they ran.
We all stood 40 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were 41 by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the 42 to their cars. Circumstances (境况) or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your 43 . But no one can ever take away your precious 44 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the 45 to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people and many animals like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey and the wax always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined(坚定的) in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
