Light and shadow are friends. They usually go together. We receive light every day. At the same time, we produce shadow.

Light can’t shine through you. Your body stops it from passing. There is only a dark spot on the ground next to you. The light can’t reach the dark spot. This is your shadow.

At noon the sun shines over your head. Your body stops very little light from reaching the ground. So your shadow is quite short.

　 But in early morning or late afternoon, the sun is low in the sky. Its light moves over more of your body. Then your shadow is quite long. Your body keeps a lot of light from reaching the ground.

We love sunlight. Because neither animals nor plants can live without it. Sun light can make people healthy. We love shadow, too. Most of us like to stand in the shadow of a tree or have a walk in the shadow of trees in summer. Light and shadow usually go together.

In some foreign countries, some people do not like the number 13. They don’t think 13 is a lucky number. For example, they don’t like to live on the thirteenth floor.

My friend Jack has got the same idea. One day, he asked some friends to dinner, When all of his friends arrived, he asked them to sit around the dinner table. He began to count the people in his mind while they were having the delicious food. Suddenly, he cried out,“ Oh, there are thirteen people here!’’ Everybody’s face turned white except Mr Brown. He said slowly with a smile on his face,“ Don’t worry, dear friends! We have fourteen people here. My wife will have a baby in a few weeks. She’s in the family way now.”

All of them became happy again.“ Congratulations!” they said to Mr and Mrs Brown. They enjoyed the nice food and had a good time that evening.
