One day Peter told Bill,“I'd like to give a party on Saturday. I'd like you to come and bring Martha, too.”

　　“Thanks, Peter. We'd be happy to come.”

　　“Perhaps you'd like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I'm sure everyone will want you to sing for us.”

　　That was how Peter began to plan（制订）his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake.“You make the best cakes in the world, Betty, and I prefer to（喜欢）eat your cake than the one from the bakery（面包店）.”

　　Peter invited several other friends to come to his party. He did not forget to-ask something from each of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to give the party at their house ! They agreed（同意）.

　　The party was a big success（成功）, However, as the guests were leaving they said“Thank you”to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter, they said simply,“Thanks for the invitation（邀请）.”

　　Money doesn't grow on trees but sometimes a big family can help make it happen.

　　For years I wanted a flower garden. I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant there. We had five children, Matthew, Marvin, Helen and the twins, Alisa and Alan. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.

　　We didn't have much money or time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much. I'd have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.”

　　Finally, all the five finished high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking about having a garden again. I wasn't sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living with very little.

　　Then, one morning in spring, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, l heard cars outside. I looked out of the window and saw a new tree planted right in my yard. I knew it was a weeping willow (垂柳), because I saw things blowing around on all of its branches (树枝). 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 (绑) all over the tree. I could buy many flowers with one hundred dollars. There was also a note, “I still do something for you. Love, Marvin.” Marvin kept his words, too. He dug up a nice flower bed for me. My other children bought me tools and other things to help me, such as gardening books.

　　That was three years ago. My garden is now very pretty. It is just the way I wanted it. When I go out to take care of my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me.

　　I live quite far to the north, where winters are long and cold, and summers are much too short. But every year now, when winter begins, 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 (泪) in my eyes every time. I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does.
