We bought a second-hand house, and that afternoon I was in the workshop of the gqrage,I noticed a part of a carpet sticking out of the ceiling of an attic(阁楼)that was strange, I found a ladder and headed up.
I climbed into the attic, As my eyes adjusted to the dark , I saw a metal container, I opened the lid and was shocked by what I saw: several rolls of money tied up in orange string , I’ve found , like $800, Awesome!
But there was more than one box of money , I found another seven boxes full to the top, plus two big black bags full of cash, I won’t lie , My first thought was that this was a bleesing from God –the means to fix up this old house; or just to uxe to make life easier for our rwo young sons , who sere seven and four ,But I knew that the right thing was to return the money to the previous owners . So I called them and asked them to come.
They were shocked, of course, not only about the money but that I was returning it , They had recently got the house from their dad and said it must have been their dad who, had hidden the money, What made him do it? I thought about the hundreds of times he had bone to his shop, cut off a length of orange string ,and bound up a roll of money , I like to think he did it for his chileren .
There were balls of that ouange stuing still hanging on the wall of the workshop when we moved in ,I used them to tie up Christmas presents last year, for my kids , I hope it reminded them of the gift greater than money that my wife and I gave them by returning the money ,We did the right thing ,and our children will never forget that.

I had planted different hot peppers in my garden. A Mexican fellow called Sam worked for me. He_36_ hot peppers, too. It was late summer and a beautiful sunny day. My son, Marcus, eight, and my daughter, Ellen, ten, picked several 37 hot peppers and entered our workroom, with their 38 .They wanted to see if Sam could 39 more hot peppers than I. After a little joking with them we agreed to the contest but they had to 40 ,too. That was not 41 terms for them so they left the room.
They 42 about an hour later with a new proposal and new hot peppers they had just picked. 43 they had reasoned that when a pepper was 44 in color it was the hottest kind. Marcus and Ellen would eat the green colored peppers 45 Sam and I would eat the red colored peppers. Giving Sam a wink(使眼色),we 46 . Showing good sportsmanship(体育精神),I had the kids 47 the peppers that Sam and I would eat. They picked the largest two red peppers. Then they picked a 48 green one for themselves. Knowing what was going to 49 ,I told them I would make it 50 for them. I cut one pepper in half and removed the 51 to reduce the heat a little. The contest was one of speed rather than 52 .Each child had pepper in hand and was 53 to start .
Looking at my 54 I said, OK, on three. One, Two, THREE. So much happened all at once. Tears, screams and spitting running around, the children 55 their mouth with fast waving hands. A short time later, Sam and I agreed that the red tasted better than the green.
