Mrs Brown lived in a small town near a big farm. One Friday afternoon, after she finished doing housework, she went to her small shop. She opened the window of the shop and looked outside. She liked to see the green farm. There were many cows, horses, and small animals on the farm. Suddenly she saw a kangaroo under her window. It was interesting to see that the kangaroo was wearing an old jacket. It stood there and looked hungry. Mrs Brown gave some bread and water to it. The kangaroo ate them all. Then it became happy and jump away. Suddenly something dropped on the ground, there was $300 and a photo in it. That was a man’s photo with his name “John” on it. John? She looked more carefully and remembered she had a brother many years ago. His name was also John. “Is this man my lost brother?” She thought. She took the wallet(皮夹)with her and began to look for the man. She asked many people in the town, and then she came to the farm and asked the farmer. To her great surprise, it was John, her lost brother. They were very excited and happy to see each other.

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there are people called “banana persons”? If you don’t know, I will tell you. They are Chinese people like you and me, but they aren’t in China. Why do people call them that?

ABC means America –born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people also call them “banana persons”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So when a person is a banana, he or she is white (American) inside and yellow (Chinese) outside. They are born in America and they live in America for a long time. Even their nationalities (国籍)are Americans. So they think like Americans and do things like Americans. But they still have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. So they look like us, Chinese people. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang(扬振宁). He is an ABC and he is a “banana person”. We like him, although his nationality isn’t Chinese.
