A Frenchman went to a small Italian town and was staying with his wife at the best hotel there. One night, he went out for a walk alone. It was late.        . Suddenly he felt someone behind him. He turned his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him. The man was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch.         because he wanted to get back the watch.
　　Soon the Frenchman caught up with the Italian. Neither of them understood the other’s language. The Frenchman shook his   fist(拳头) in the Italian’s face and pointed at the watch.         . In the end he gave up his watch to the Frenchman.
When he returned to the hotel, the Frenchman told his wife what had happened. He was greatly surprised when his wife pointed to the watch on the table. Now he realized that by mistake he had robbed(抢劫) the Italian.         .

　　Long, long ago, a donkey （驴） fell in a dry well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to think out what to do. Finally, the farmer thought the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, so he decided not to try to save the donkey.

　　The farmer invited his neighbors to 1 him. They began to shovel （铲） dirt into the well. The donkey cried harder. Then a few shovelfuls later, he quieted down. The farmer looked 2 the well, and was surprised by what he saw.

　　While every shovelful of dirt hit his 3 , the donkey would shake（抖）it off and take a step up on the new layer （层）of dirt. 4 the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, the donkey would shake it off and take another step up.

　　Soon the donkey stepped up out of the well and ran away, to the 5 of all the neighbors.

　　The 6 we get from this story is that if life shovels some dirt on us, we must get out of the well and not let it cover us. We must learn to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our 7 is a stepping-sone（石头）. We can get out of the deepest well by never 8 !

A blind boy sat there with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins and dropped them into the hat .He then turned the sign around and wrote something on it. He put the sign back and walked away.
　　Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and ask, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you do?”
　　The man said, “I only wrote the truth in a different way.”
　　What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
　　Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second one told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
　　The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second one told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
　　There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
　　Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
　  Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.
