Alice Andrews is very worried(担心的) about her son, John. He is often unhappy.
One morning she walks into his room, turns on the light, and says, " It' s time to get up, John. You can' t stay in bed all day. "
John turns over in bed. He does not want to get up. He turns off the light.
" Don' t go to sleep again, " Alice says. " Get up now or you' ll be late again for school. " She turns the light on again.
Fifteen minutes later John comes into the kitchen and sits down at the table. " Eat your breakfast quickly, " Alice says. " It' s almost eight thirty. "
" There' s no hurry, " John tells his mother. " I' m not going to school today. " " Why not? " his mother asks. " Is it a holiday? "
John shakes his head. " No, it' s not a holiday. " Alice sits down next to her son and takes his hand.
" John, " she says, " Tell me what' s wrong. Why do you hate school so much? "
For several moments John is quiet. Then he says, " The teachers bully(欺负) me and the students don' t like me. "
" John, " his mother says, " I' m sorry about that, but you cannot stay at home. " " Why not? " he asks.
" Because, dear, " his mother says, " there are two very good reasons why you must go to school. First, you are thirty-five years old. Second, you are the school principal(校长). "

A—Bobby B—Mum
A: Mum, it' s raining again! I can' t go out to play with my friends. I don' t like the rain!
B: But rain is useful. People need water. Animals and plants also need water. And most of the water comes from rain. Without (没有) rain, how can plants grow? We will have nothing to eat.
A: Oh, Mum! You like the animals and plants just because you want to eat them!
B: No. We need them. If we have no food, we can only live (生存) for about one week. But without water, we can only live for three days. Then, do you still dislike the rain?
A: Mmm. . . But the rain makes all the streets wet. It' s difficult to walk quickly. And our shoes and trousers are always dirty on rainy days.
B: So get up early in the morning and don' t run on your way to school. Then your shoes and trousers will not be dirty.
A: OK. But Mum, I have nothing to do now.
B: That' s good! You can help me with the housework. Oh, I like rain so much!
