　Edith Cavell was born in a little English village. She was a clever, hard-working girl and did well at school, especially in music and French. After she left school, her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium(比利时). The language they spoke was French, so she found that her school studies were useful. She could understand them easily, at the same time she taught the children to speak English and play the piano.

After hearing that her father was seriously ill, Edith returned home to look after him. She then decided to become a nurse. Afterwards for five years she worked in an English hospital where she proved to be highly professional(专业的)at her job. A Belgian doctor was so impressed(印象深的)that he invited her to his country to organize a training school for nurses. The First World War (第一次世界大战) broke out in 1914 and Edith Cavell’s school of nursing became a hospital. She stayed there to look after the sick and wounded soldiers (伤员). Edith treated them with kindness. Between November 1914 and August 1915 she secretly helped about 200 wounded soldiers and prisoners (囚犯) escape from the Germans. Later the German army found out what Edith had done and they arrested her. Finally, the Germans killed her, but they could not kill her memory. A tall statue(雕塑)has been built in Trafalgar Square, London, in honor(纪念)of the brave English nurse.

　　　 Once a tiger was in a cage. Soon a good man went by. As soon as the tiger saw the man, the tiger began to cry. “Please! Please!” the tiger called. “Please, let me out.” “No,” said the good man. “If I do, you will eat me.” “I will not eat you,” the tiger said. “Please let me out.”

The good man believed the tiger. He opened the door of the cage. The tiger jumped out. “How silly you are,” the tiger laughed. “Now I am going to eat you.” “Wait!” the man cried. “You ought not to eat me. Let us ask others what they think.” “You may ask three others. ” the tiger said.

The good man asked a tree. The tree said, “I give shade (树荫). And yet I am cut down. Let the tiger eat you.”

Next, the good man asked a bird. The bird said, “I hurt no one. Yet people hunt and kill me. Let the tiger eat you.”

The last one that the good man asked was a road. The road said, “I don’t care if the tiger eats you. People could not get along too well without me. Yet all day and all night people step on me without even a ‘thank you’.”

The tiger was ready to eat the good man. Just then a dog came by. “What is happening?” asked the dog. The man told the dog the whole story.

“I don’t understand,” said the dog. “The tiger wants to eat you because you put him in a cage?”

“No, no,” said the man. “Some other men put him in a cage.”

“Oh,” the dog said. “He is going to eat you because you do not have a cage.”

“Silly dog!” the tiger cried. “Don’t you understand? I was in the cage. This man let me out.”

“Oh, I see,” the dog said. “When the man was in the cage, you let him out.”

“I was in the cage!” the tiger cried. “In this way!” with that, he jumped back into the cage.

At once, the dog closed the door of the cage. “Oh,” the dog laughed. “At last I understand!”

The good man and the dog walked off. The tiger looked sad in the cage. If he waited long enough, perhaps another good man would come by.
