I really only meant it as a joke. I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.

My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹嘘) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download the newest   off the Internet. "Then he   everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really    .

class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like  , so we had to crowd(拥挤) around him. I was just trying to see the screen,     there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous.

But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk.       noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My    was to give it back to him the next day. I   wanted to see his reaction (反应). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.

But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very   and almost mad. He started accusing (指责) different people of   his phone, but I had it in my    the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate    Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They   got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to    ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?

Everyone is talking about how much money they got in their red envelopes（红包）．But an even more important question than "How much did you get?" is "What are you going to do with it?" Well, one thing you could do is to put it in the bank--it's easier than you think．

In fact, some students in Hubei Province began using the Xiaogui Dangjia bank card this year．It's a bank card for kids, and it's given out by Minsheng Bank's Wuhan branch（支行）．

"Now all my pocket money has a place to go," said Song Wei, who is a Junior l at the  Wuluolu Middle School in Wuhan．"1 can't wait to use the card to pay my own school fees（费用）．"

Wang Hong, a manager at Minsheng Bank, said, "We have talked to lots of students and have found they don't think much about what money is, where it comes from or how to use it carefully．They just spend all their money on whatever they want and then ask their parents for more," Wang Said．

 School kids today are getting more money．At one school in Shanghai．205 students got about 500,000 yuan in their red envelopes in total this year．But parents worry that the kids don't know how to take care of the money by themselves．

 Zhang Shan's mother likes the card．Zhang, a Junior 2 in Wuhan, bas been asking for a computer for a long time, but his mother hasn't bought him one．"We want him to use this card to save money for the computer step by step," she said． "If we buy everything be asks for, he would think that money comes too easily, and he won't work hard for it．"

Experts say that understanding personal finances（经济状况） is important and should be taught early．"Those who start saving early will continue the habit when they grow up," said Wang Min, a financial expert in Wuhan, "It's better to teach kids how to fish rather than just feeding them fish．"

When Paolo was ten years old, he had a very exciting experience. It was a real adventure.

He and his father got up early to go fishing. They got in the boat and his father started rowing out to sea. The sun was rising as they pulled away from the shore. They stopped the boat in an area about twelve miles away where the fishing was very good. Then Paolo helped his father with the big net.
