13．For years I wanted a flower garden．I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together．
But then we had Matthew．And Marvin．And the twins，Alisa and Alan．And then Helen．Five children．I was too busy raising them to grow a garden．
Money was tight，as well as time．Often when my children were little，one of them would want something that cost too much，and I'd have to say，"Do you see a money tree outside？Money doesn't grow on trees，you know．"
Finally，all five got through high school and college and were off on their own．I started thinking again about having a garden．
I wasn't sure，though．I mean，gardens do cost money，and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean，no-frills budget．
Then，one spring morning，on Mother's Day，I was working in my kitchen．Suddenly，I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by．I looked out of the window and there was a new tree，planted right in my yard．I thought it must be a weeping willow，because I saw things blowing around on all its branches．Then I put my glasses on-and I couldn't believe what I saw．There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look．It was true!There were dollar bills，one hundred of them，taped all over that tree．Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars!There was also a note attached："IOU eight hours of digging time．Love，Marvin．"
Marvin kept his promise，too．He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me．And my other children bought me tools，ornaments，a trellis （棚架），a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books．
That was three years ago．My garden's now very pretty，just like I wanted．When I go out and weed or tend my flowers，I dont seem to miss my children as much as I once did．It feels like they're right there with me．
I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula，where winters are long and cold，and summers are too short．But every year now，when winter sets in，I look out of my window and think of the flowers．I'll see next spring in my little garden．I think about what my children did for me，and I get tears in my eyes-every time．
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees．But I know love does!

Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years．It came sudden and went on for over three hours．After lunch，I went into my room to have a rest．The air was hotter，and all is quiet．Then a strong wind started to blow into my room．Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window．As I ran out to catch them，big drop of rain began to fall．When I came back into house，it was raining harder and harder．I tried very hard to close the window．Then I heard a loudly crashing（碰撞的）sound from the back of the house．When I ran out of my room to find out what had happened：a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom．

8．An old story goes as follows．King took another wife，who had a magic mirror．The queen often asked the mirror，"Mirror，mirror on the wall，who is the fairest of all？"The mirror answered"You，Queen，are the fairest of all，"and the Queen was content，because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth．
Inspired by the fairy tale，a New York-based designer has come up with a mirror equipped with infrared （红外线的） technology that sends a live video to any cell phone，e-mail account or personal digital assistant （PDA） device selected by a shopper．
Christopher Enrich，chief technology officer for digital design company IconNicholson，said putting these mirrors outside store fitting rooms meant women could go shopping with their friends-even they are far apart．
"She could be in Paris，your mom，watching you try on your wedding dress（while you are in New York），"Enright told Reuters Tuesday as he exhibited the interactive （互动的）mirror at a trade show．
Using the interactive mirror，a shopper's friends can then text message back with comments about the clothes being tried on．
Shoppers can also use touch screens on the three-paneled （面板） mirror to choose matching shoes or accessories （配件），Enright said．
The left-hand panel has a touch screen that allows a customer to select a different suit from a database，and then see how it looks on her in the center mirror without physically putting the clothes on．
The right-hand panel has a screen offering more information about other shoes or accessories the shopper also might like．
Enright said teenagers were already using their cell phones to send pictures to their friends when they were out shopping．"This is…adding technology to something we already do，"Enright said．
