Mr White’s house was less than two miles from his office, so he could drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars outside his house and there was no room(空间)for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he walked back home. This made him very angry.

He put up a board in the garden facing the road. The board said, “No Parking”. But nobody noticed(注意)it. People seemed to obey(服从)only a police notice(公告)with white letters on a blue board:

POLICE NOTICE

NO PARKING

Mrs White asked his husband to steal(偷)a police notice but he was afraid to do so. Then she asked him to make one just like a police notice. Mr White said he was not the police and couldn’t use the word “police”. Several days later, Mr White made a blue board with white letters.

POLITE NOTICE

NO PARKING

“Oh!” Mrs White said, “You told me you weren’t going to use the word ‘police’, but why

do you use it now?” “Really?” he asked. “Look again,” she started to laugh. “You are really clever”.

What’s a good friend like? One may have different answers to this question at different ages.

When he is very young, he may think a good friend must be together with him all day. And they can share everything together. If his friend doesn’t give him food to eat once, he doesn’t think they are good friends any more. But they will play together happily again very soon.

When he grows older and studies in a middle school, his idea about a good friend changes. He thinks a good friend should be helpful and honest. A good friend should always help him with his lessons. A good friend should come to him when he is sad. And he is always ready to tell everything to his friend. If his friend tells others about his secrets, he may hate the friend.

When he grows up, he may not think it’s necessary for a good friend to be always honest. Everyone has his secrets. If the truth(真相) may hurt the friend, it’s better to keep it secret from him than tell him about it. And he may think a good friend can give him some good advice when he has problems. He comes to understand that he shouldn’t just ask friends for help and that he should also learn to do something for his friends.
