"A new student is waiting in your room." My principal told me. "Name's Mary. I'll talk to you about her." I nodded, some materials in my hands. "Fine," I said. "We're making valentine envelopes, a good way for her to get 1 ."

She sat in the back of the room, her hands 2 in her lap （大腿）. "Welcome, Mary. I'm glad you are in our room." No 3 . "Mary." I said again, with a smile. She raised her head and looked into my eyes. The smile on my face 4 . Dear God, I thought, what on earth happened to this little girl? The eyes in that face were unexpectedly empty as if her world were coming to an end.

The bell rang, little time to worry about Mary. After 5 Mary into her desk, I distributed materials and then hurried to the office. There I learned weeks ago, her mother 6 a serious illness, unconscious in bed. She had been 7 since. "What can I do?" I stammered. "I've never known a child like this before." "Give her 8 ," the principal suggested.

I returned and grabbed a chance to explain this to my students, urging them to be patient and kind towards her. "It may be a long time 9 she joins us, but you can do your bit." How loving they could be once they understood. On Valentine's Day, Mary's envelopes overflowed. We expected her to cheer up a bit, but still she was silent without any facial 10 .

Later on a March day, my children noticed the flowers 11 and advised making flower baskets! It was something to lift our 12 . Remembering the valentine incident, I expected nothing from Mary; 13 , I encouraged her to try. Soon, a boy exclaimed: "Look at Mary's basket. So pretty!" I was dumbfounded at its beauty, asking how she managed it. She looked at me with the shining eyes of any 14 girl and replied "Mother loved flowers."

"Thank you, God, you've given us a 15 ." I knelt and put my arms around Mary. Ever since, I've kept the flowers in my desk just to remind me of Mary and of the lasting power of love.

"When I think of England, I think of the queen taking her dogs for walk in the countryside," says Carsten Haferkamp, a dog-owning German working in London. Data from Tractive, a firm that provides GPS tracking for pets, show that Britons walk their dogs more than their European neighbors do.

The British love for dog-walking may have more to do with the walking than the dogs. Britons are big walkers –they came fifth in the world in a study in 2017, the highest in Europe. Dogs provide walkers with company and a purpose, so it may be that walking encourages dog-ownership.

But Julien Dugnoille, an expert at Exeter University, suspects dog-walking has a deeper significance. Dogs, he suggests, are a useful aid to a socially awkward nation. "Britons tend to have a chat with strangers and exchange a few jokes and comments about the weather without putting themselves in danger."

A tradition among the British nobles of owning and training dogs also leads Dr Dugnoille to assume that dog-walking is a way to keep ancient honor. "When people in the park say Max is very well-behaved," says Dr Dugnoille, "that is a way to show their authority in the art of dog training compared to those dog owners who are not in control of their own dog."

But it's not just about showing off, in his view. He believes walking with one's best friend creates a time and space where dogs and humans meet as species and connect as individuals.

Still, Britons should not congratulate themselves too much on their behavior towards their dog companions. According to Dr Carri Westgarth of Liverpool University, "People say that a dog needs a walk every day, but they will find reasons why their dog doesn't need a walk. They'll say: he's got company indoors, he's nervous or he doesn't like the rain."
