In a small village there lived a man. He would do nothing all day but daydream. Whenever he was hungry, he would go out, beg（乞讨）for food, come back and hang out.
One sunny afternoon, the man was very hungry. With great difficulty, he got up, took out a pot（罐）and went out to beg. By begging the whole day, he finally got a pot of milk. He hung the pot on the ceiling（天花板）, lay down on his bed and started daydreaming again.
"This pot of milk is going to make me rich, "he thought." I can make butter from the milk. Then I will be able to make ghee（印度酥油）and go to the market and sell the ghee." His dream continued, "With the money I get, I will buy a pair of cows. They will have baby cows. Soon I would have a large number of cows."
"Then I will continue my business. I will buy come more cows and own a farm. And I will employ people to work on my farm. I can also open a candy shop. I will make candies out of the cows' milk, "the man kept smiling to himself.
"I am so smart, "thought the man. Lost in his thoughts, he reached out his foot, breaking the pot. He saw the broken pot and cried. He lost whatever he had because he was lazy and spent his time daydreaming.
On the first day in her new house，Mouse wrote a letter to her old friend.
|
Dear Vole, My house is very comfortable, but none of my new neighbors will be as good a friend as you are. Love, Mouse |
On the way to the post office, Mouse saw Beaver. He gave Mouse a big smile.
"Perhaps I should say hello, "thought Mouse." Beaver's teeth are so long and sharp（锋利的）. Beaver wouldn't make a good friend. Not like Vole, whose smile was kind." So Mouse left without saying hello.
After lunch, Mouse heard a knock on her door. Then she peeked（偷看）out the window. It was Squirrel.
"Perhaps I should invite her in for tea, "thought Mouse." But Squirrel talks a lot. Squirrel wouldn't make a good friend. Not like Vole, who always listened." So Mouse didn't open the door.
That night, Mouse looked at a picture of herself and Vole. She thought back to the first time she met Vole. She remembered feeling afraid-afraid of Vole's eyes and Vole's large size.
In fact, Vole had seemed so different that Mouse almost decided Vole wouldn't make a good friend.
Mouse realized something." I made a mistake!" she cried.
The next morning, Mouse made some cakes and put them in a basket.
She went to Beaver's house first, and next to Squirrel's house.
When Mouse returned home, she was smiling. She went to her desk and wrote a letter to Vole.
|
Dear Vole, Today, I visited my new neighbors. Beaver has strong teeth. He uses them to build homes. Squirrel knows lots of stories. She makes me laugh. I think Beaver and Squirrel will be my good friends like you are. Love, Mouse |
The Italians are famous for many things, including art, history, fashion and their style of cooking. Some of the best food in the world was created by Italians. The Italians make pizza and spaghetti, and they also make excellent desserts.
One of my favorites is ice cream. The ice cream here is soft, delicious and very cheap. I am studying in Puglia, Italy and I have to stop myself from eating it every day. I like sitting on a park bench with a new flavor（味道）of ice cream.
Nowadays, most of the ice cream produced in Italy is still handmade and there are lots of Italian ice cream shops around the world.
The ice cream shops here in Puglia are open for most of the day. People can go and have an ice cream at any time, even late at night. There are so many interesting flavors that you could never possibly get bored of it. I always spend a long time looking through the glass, trying to decide what to have. I usually choose my favorite flavors. One evening though, I chose a new flavor. It translates as" English soup", which sounded funny and made me curious to taste it. The taste of the ice cream was quite strong but I enjoyed it anyway.
I love the cold sweetness of the ice cream. Ice cream is one of my favorite things about Italian style of cooking. This year, I'm going to try as many flavors as possible.
