“You're just in time, Joe. We're going to play Cowboys(牛仔)-and-Indians, and you can be the Indians.” one of my cousins (堂兄弟)said.
“How many Indians?” I asked.
“Oh, about a thousand.” he answered, and before I could say no, I was pushed out into the night and became a thousand Indians. Two minutes later I was running in the fields with a group of cowboys behind. The shouts of “After them. Let's catch the killers!” and other such TV - play language came into my ears as I ran round a corner and hurried into my Grandpa's car.
“We've got him, boys. Let's go and catch him!”
But no one wanted to come to get me. All of my cousins except one were always very friendly with me. It was quiet outside. And I went out of the car to have a look.
Just then I heard a shout, “Bring the rope (绳子), and we can burn him.”
“Only Indians burn people. Cowboys...” I stopped just in time. I had almost said, “Cowboys hang (绞死) people.”

“How did it go today?”Mrs. Goldman asked when her husband came home from work.
“Great!”he said.“When my customers saw people using the carts,they realized how much easier it would be to shop with them,so they all started using the carts.Not only that,but they filled the carts with more groceries than they ever did with their own baskets.I’m going to be a rich man soon,selling groceries and my new shopping carts,too!”
