drove to the beach. She was building sand house or something else there. She looked up, her eyes were as blue
as the sea.
"Hello." She said. I answered, but didn't really want to stop her."I'm building." she said again. I saw that.
"What is it?" I asked her."Oh, I don't know. I just like the feeling of the sand."
Oh, that's good, I thought, and took off my shoes to join her. A sandpiper (一种水鸟) flew by. She told me
that it would make me happy. I felt better then.
On my next visit, I learned that Windy lived in a summer cottage (小屋) and didn't go to school, even though
it was winter. Soon after, my mother died, and I rushed to the beach to be alone. I didn't want to say anything
when Windy came up to me."Why?" she asked.
I turned to her and shouted, "Because my mother died!" "Oh," she said quietly, "then today is a bad day."
A month later, I went to the beach but couldn't find Windy. I missed her so much that I visited her house. I
learned that Windy had died of leukemia (白血病), but left a picture of a sandpiper for me, to make me happy.

dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape
recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same
way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked, Mark discovered that the boy's name was Bill, that
he loved video games, basebaii and history, that he was having a lot of trouble with his other subjects and that
he had just broken up with his close friend.
They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The
afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talks, and then Mark went home. They
continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, and then both graduated from
junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally
the long last year came, and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could have a talk.
Bill reminded him of the day years before when they had first met. "Do you ever wonder why I was
carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to
leave a mess for anyone else. I decided to drop out of school. But after we spent some time together talking and
laughing, I realized that if I had left school, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow.
So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more. You helped me out."

A boy called Mario had many friends, and he was proud of it. Whoever he met, he would like to show off(炫耀) how popular he was at school.
One day, his grandpa said to him, “Mario, I know that you don’t have as many friends as you think. Many of them are not true to you.”
Mario thought maybe his grandpa was right. However, he wasn’t sure how he could test whether his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need. It’s in my room. Wait a minute.” The old man left, soon returning as if(好像) carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there.
“Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible, it will be hard for you to sit on it. However, if you manage to sit on it, you can use the chair’s magic power（力量） to tell who your real friends are.”
Mario took the strange invisible chair to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair.
“Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing，” said Mario. Then he tried sitting on the chair. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell to the ground. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait,” said Mario, making another try. But again he missed the seat.
Mario didn’t give up. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair. Finally, he did it. This time he felt himself in mid-air.
Then he experienced the magic that his grandpa had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. But some schoolmates whom he had regarded as friends had done nothing but made fun of him. Mario was quite thankful to his grandpa, who helped him test who his true friends were.
