Mr. Clarke works in New York and brought his family to China. They visited many places of
interest and had a good time here. Before they left for Shanghai, the Clarkes climbed up the Great
Wall. It was the greatest project about three thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there
and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car.
And when they returned to the hotel, they couldn't find the bag in which their expensive camera
was. They were all sorry for it:They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great
Wall again. They could not miss the plane!
That evening they didn't have supper. Mr. Clarke hoped to make them happy and said, "Well.
Let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-storey building. One day he fell down from it
when he was cleaning the window. But he didn't hurt himself. "
"It was a miracle!" called out his children. "Why?"
"Because he lived on the first floor!"
They all began to laugh while two policemen with a bag came in. They said a Chinese boy
found it under the big tree and he as
ked them to find out who lost it."It's really a miracle!" the Clarkes said happily.
