Billy and Bobby were small boys. They were brothers, and they often fought each other.
Last Saturday their mother said to them, “I’m going to cook our lunch now, go out and play in the garden……and be good.”
“Yes, Mum,” the two boys answered, and they went out.
They played in the garden for half an hour, and then Billy ran in. “Mum,” he said, “Bobby’s broken a window in Mrs Allen’s house.” Mrs Allen was one of their neighbours.
“He’s a bad boy,” his mother said. “How did he break it?”
“I threw a stone at him,” Billy answered, “and he quickly moved down.”

Hopper, who was diagnosed with cancer last October, was surrounded by his children and wife when he died.The American film star made his last public appearance on March 26, 2010, when his star was addressed on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
Dennis Hopper was born in Dodge City, Kansas, on May 17, 1936.He grew up in San Diego, California, and got an early reputation for stage work.Making his way to Hollywood while still in his teens, he quickly earned roles in several films and TV shows, including "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955), in which he met James Dean, who became a friend and life-long model.
Hopper maintained a somewhat not smooth career through the mid-60s.But it was 1967s."The Trip", directed by "King of the B's" Roger Corman, that made the actor popular with audience and two of his "Easy Rider" colleagues, actor Peter Fonda and "The Trip" writer Jack Nicholson.
In early 1968, Hopper led the group through his own low-budget film, a biker road movie about two riders who travel from Los Angeles to New Orleans."Easy Rider" was finally released in the summer of 1969, and was very popular after 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Graduate", the breakthrough that set free the baby boomer generation on Hollywood.
The film, made on the fly by Hopper and co-star Fonda for less than $ 500,000, became one of the most popular movies of its time.
Among his recent roles were a villain (反面人物) in the TV series "24" and an officer in the short-lived TV show "E-Ring".He was starring in the TV version of the Oscar-winning film "Crash" at his death, playing a record producer.He was named a chevalier (功勋人物) of France's Order of Arts and Letters in 2008.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to play the character of Ronald McDonald for the McDonald's Corporation.
One day each month,we visited hospitals bringing a little happiness to the children there. But there were two rules placed on me during a visit. First, I could not go anywhere in the hospital without permission. And second, I could not physically touch anyone within the hospital. They did not want me to carry germs(细菌)from one patient to another. Breaking either of these rules, I was told, I could lose my job. One day, as I was heading down a hallway and on my way home, I heard a little voice coming through a halfopened door,“Ronald,Ronald.”
I stepped in and saw a boy,about five years old, lying in his dad's arms, Mom with a nurse on the other side. I knew by the feeling in the room that the situation was grave. I asked his name. He told me it was Billy and that I did a few simple magic tricks for him. As I stepped back to say goodbye, he asked me “Ronald, would you hold me?”
At such a simple request, my heart was screaming, “Yes!”But my mind was screaming louder. “No!You are going to lose your job!”
“Hold me” was such a simple request, and yet I searched for any reasonable excuses that allowed me to leave, but none. It took me a moment to realize that in this situation, losing my job may not be the disaster I feared. Then, I picked up this little boy. He was so weak and so scared. We laughed and cried for 45 minutes. With tears in my eyes, I left them. Less than 48 hours later, I received a phone call from Billy's mom that Billy had passed away. She and her husband simply wanted to thank me for making a difference in their little boy's life.
Billy's mom told me shortly after I left the room. Billy looked at her and said, “Momma, I don't care any more if I see Santa this year because I was held by Ronald McDonald.”
For the record, McDonald's Corporation did find it out, but, given the situation,permitted me to go on with my job. I continued as Ronald for another year before leaving the corporation to share the story of Billy and how important it is to take risks.
