This is a story about a boy called Sparky. For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He got a zero in physics. It made him the worst physics student in the school’s history. He didn’t do much better in sports. Although he tried to join the school’s golf team, he quickly lost the only important match.

He didn’t have friends, either. Other kids didn’t care about him. If a classmate said “hello” to Sparky outside the school, he would feel very surprised.

Sparky was a loser and everyone knew it. So he accepted it.

But one thing was important to Sparky – drawing. He was proud of his artwork. In senior high school, he sent some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook (年鉴) but got turned down. Sparky was hurt. But he didn’t lose hope because he believed in his ability. He decided to become a professional artist.

He wrote a letter to the Walt Disney Studios (工作室) after graduating high school. The studio asked him to draw some cartoons on a certain subject. Sparky spent a lot of time on the cartoons. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios: they didn’t like his cartoons.

Was it time to stop drawing? Sparky didn’t think so. He started to put his own life in the cartoons. He created his childhood self – a little boy loser: Charlie Brown. He wasn’t good at football. But Charlie Brown would soon become famous worldwide. Sparky, the boy who used to fail school and who was rejected again and again, was Charles Schulz. He created the Peanuts comic strip and the world-famous cartoon characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

Arthur sat at the desk in his room, pencil in hand. He had to write a story for his English class by Friday. “I don’t know what to write about,” he complained to his dog Toby, who was asleep at his feet. Arthur was talkative when speaking to his friends, yet he had trouble finding words when he had to write.

By bedtime Arthur had drawn a picture of Toby smiling. He had drawn a tree with its branches blowing in the strong wind. He had also written a note asking his friend Lee to go to the movies on Saturday. But he had not written a single word of his story.

On Wednesday, Mrs. Solomon, Arthur’s English teacher, asked the class to turn in the first draft of their stories. His heart sinking, Arthur turned in the only work he had—the page with his name, the drawings and the note.

Arthur wasn’t surprised when Mrs. Solomon asked him to stay after class the next day. But he was surprised by what she said to him. “This is an attractive story, Arthur. The dog, the movie, the tree in the wind—I can’t wait to find out how they all fit together.”

“That isn’t my story, Mrs. Solomon,” Arthur admitted. “I haven’t been able to think of one yet.”

“Oh, I think you have the seed(种子of a story there,” Mrs. Solomon replied, “Look at your note and the pictures and see if a story comes to you.”

That night Arthur sat at his desk, and this is what he wrote:“One Saturday Mike went downstairs to meet his friend Julio at the cinema. It looked as if it might rain, so Mike carried his umbrella. Suddenly a big storm blew in, bending the trees. The noise of the wind sounded like the barking of Mike’s dog Toby. Toby really hated storms and barked whenever he wanted to be let inside. Then Mike realized that it wasn’t the sound of the wind. It was Toby. The dog was running after him down the busy street, barking. The sound was filled with blame. Mike felt guilty because he had left Toby outside. He turned and headed home with Toby running beside him. Mike let Toby in the door just as the rain started to pour down.”

Arthur had a story in the end. The last thing he did was to write his name proudly at the top of the page.

【1】Why did Arthur turn in the page with only his name, the drawings and the note at first?

A.Because he had no time to fit them together.

A.Toby is an imaginative and lovely dog.

B.The small tree will grow into a big one.
