to reach Southampton. We're all very hungry. We have already finished all our food. Dawn discovered
some emergency rations(给养) -chocolate and glucose (葡萄糖) tablets (药片) -so now we're eating those. Nobody has complained yet, but I know the girls are feeling quite low. Please God, send us some
wind.

was Persian. One day they met and decided to stay together, sharing what they had and helping each other in
trouble times.
Soon a man passed them in the street and gave them a coin. They talked about what to do with it. At last
they decided to buy something to eat.
"Let's buy some grapes!" said the Englishman. But the Turkish wanted "uzum", the Arab "aneb", the Greek
"stafelea", and the Persian insisted on (坚持) "angur". They did not understand each other's language very well.
Soon they were quarrelling and even fighting.
While they were fighting about how to spend the money, a stranger came along. He knew all the five
languages. He asked them why they were fighting. After they told him, he said, "Give me your coin. I will buy
what you want."
He was soon back with a bunch of grapes. Each beggar was happy, as each had what he had wanted. They
all asked for the same thing, but the word for "grapes" is different in different languages.
If people could understand each other, there would be no need to fight.

There is a family of ants close to my house, but I don't know when they came here.
They work hard all day long cleaning their house and looking for food outside. There is not a lazy one in their family. They are friendly to each other and help each other. I like them very much and often go to see them.
One day I went to see the ants just before a heavy rain. They were busy carrying earth in their mouths to stop up the door of their house. Just then the rain came down. I ran back into the house. I thought,“The ants will be in danger. How heavy the rain is!”
When the rain stopped, I went out to see the ants. The earth at the door kept the rain out. They were busy carrying it away.
It was late, and the people all went home. I thought that the ants must be tired.I went to see them again with the help of the lamp. They were still working quietly. What good, hard-working neighbours they are!
