　　Mrs King was born in a noble (高贵的) family. Now she's seventy and lives with her children. She has two sons and three daughters. And her six grandchildren are all afraid of the strict old woman. She didn't like someone to be late for dinner. So she has made it a rule (规定) that a man who is late for dinner isn't allowed to say anything during the dinner time. So each of the family does his best not to be late.

　　Yesterday afternoon Dick, a boy of six, was playing with his sister Mable in the garden. The girl saw a beautiful flower in the pool. She wanted to pick it and she fell into the pool. The boy couldn't pull Mable out of the pool but there was nobody there. He ran back and wanted to tell his father about it. When he rushed into the room the dinner had already begun. As soon as he began with “I say, Grandma…”, the old woman stopped him and said, “Not a word!”

　　Dick had to stop to eat. After dinner Dick's mother asked, “What did you want to say, Dick?”The poor boy cried and said,“Mable has fallen into the pool!”

　　Dick was a clever boy. His parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his holidays to pay his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to university. It was so expensive to study there that during the holidays he had to get two jobs in his spare time to earn (赚) enough money to pay for his studies.

　　One summer he managed to get a job at a butcher's shop during the daytime, and at a hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat up quite nicely. The butcher often left him to do all the serving and he himself went to a room behind the shop to do his accounts (账目). At the hospital, on the other hand, he was, of course, allowed to do the simplest jobs, helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher's shop and at the hospital, Dick had to wear white clothes.

　　One evening, Dick helped to carry a patient (病人) in her bed to the place where she was to have her operation. The woman was already frightened at the thought of the operation before he came to get her, and when she saw Dick, she cried, “No! No! Not by my butcher! I won't be killed by my butcher!” and then she hurried away.

　　In Britain, guide (向导) dogs are the “eyes” for many blind people. At first, Lucy went to a woman's home when she was three months old. For nine months, the woman trained her to walk, sit, stop and lie down.

　　When Lucy was one year old, she went to a special school for dogs. It has a street like in a town. Here Lucy learned to guide a person round holes and across streets. She had to look for holes in the ground and high-up dangers like trees, too.

　　When Lucy passed all her tests, Dick came to the training centre to meet his “eyes”. Dog and person must like each other. If they do not like each other, they will not work well together. Dick stayed at the training centre for four weeks. He learned to walk along the street with Lucy. At the end, they went out into the real town for practice trips.

　　Dick is now back at home after his four weeks' training. Every day he walks with Lucy to his job in a factory. He is the telephone operator. The other workers love Lucy. She spends the day in a corner of his office. When they get home in the evening, Dick cleans Lucy's feet and gives her the evening meal-meat and dogcakes.
