Black bread with honey— A friend of mine stayed in a hotel in India and the manager gave this to her for stomachache. It really worked. Just take a piece of bread and toast it until it’s black. Then put honey on the bread and eat it. It doesn’t look good, but it can really help. So if you get stomachache, try this therapy.

An onion—If you get a high temperature, use an onion. It sounds strange but it helps. Cut one large onion into halves and tie the half onion to the bottom of each of your feet. You shouldn’t wear socks of course! I use this on my kids and it works every time. The therapy came from a relative from down south.

Once upon a time, there was an old woman who lived in a small house. She planted a lot of beautiful tulips (郁金香) in her garden.

One night,the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing woke her up. She looked out of the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulips, but she could see nothing.

The next morning she walked among her flowers, but there were no signs of anyone having been there the night before.

On the following night she was again wakened (弄醒) by the sounds of sweet singing and babies laughing. She got out of bed and walked softly into her garden. The old woman looked closely and she noticed that a fairy (精灵) mother was singing softly, and that in each tulip-cup was a little fairy baby, laughing and playing.

The old woman went back to her house quietly. From then on, she never picked a tulip. She didn’t allow her neighbours to pick the flowers, either. When the old woman died, all the tulips disappeared overnight. But her grave (坟墓) looked beautiful, because the fairies sang above it and kept it green.

3.I found the black and white cat on my front doorway.He was crying like a human baby.Where did he come from?I noticed he had no collar (项圈).Who would be so careless?
I went inside and brought out a can of fish.The cat hungrily ate it up and then walked right inside the house.
I wanted to get him out,but I hesitated.Our family never owned pets,but I had always wanted one.
Just then,the cat meowed and jumped up onto my leg.Well,he seemed to like me!Maybe I didn't have to give him back after all!

Then the truth of the situation hit me:I had stolen a little boy's cat!
Now I realized there was a lot I didn't understand.I tried to explain why I should keep the cat by convincing myself the owners deserved to lose him.Now I saw that it was all a big mistake.
I walked to the little boy.
"I have your cat,"I told him."I'm sorry.I just found him and fed him.He's at my house."
The little boy began to cry with laughter.He blew his nose and gave me a great big hug."Thank you so much!I was just about to put a new collar on him when he ran out of the door.I couldn't chase him!Because of my…you know…my legs."
"I'll be right back,"I told him.I ran home to get the cat and reunite owner and pet.
