One day, a rich father took his young son on a trip to the countryside. He wanted to show him how poor the villagers were and wished him to cherish what he had. They spent two days in a poor family in the village.
On their return from the  trip ,the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“ It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people could be?” the father asked.
“Oh, yeah!” said the son .
“So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
After thinking for a while, the son answered, “I saw that we have a dog ,while they have four. We have a pool in the garden. And they have a small river without an end. At night, We have small lights in the garden, but they  have the stars in the sky. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around to keep us safe but they have friends.” 
You could imagine the look on the father’s face!
Then the son went on, "Thanks, Dad. Now I know how poor we are!”

When I was a little girl, my family lives in a small village. There was a very beautiful river near my home. The water was clean and cool. I liked to go fishing there with mom. We would catch fish, look for clams and play in the water. There were also a lot of  birds near the river. We would spend all day watching the birds. Life was beautiful and wonderful in the old days.
Now my family lives in the city. Last Sunday my daughter asked me to take her to see the beautiful river I was always talking about. “I want to go fishing there with you and Grandma ao much,” she said.
When we went to the river, we only saw a factory and a mountain of garbage(垃圾). My mom was surprised, my daughter was quite despondent, and I was sad—the river was my best friend. I grew up with it. Now there are no fish in it; the birds are gone, too. I hear it crying for help. But what can I do ?
