I worked for a short time as a waiter at a a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very . One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his . He asked me if I had opened , and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and it to me and I was amazed at this.

Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than we could buy with money.

More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince(王子)of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.

One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a small wooden bed.

When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet him. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood on his head. He rushed into his house and found the bed lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.
