After a quick breakfast, I went into the lecture(讲座) hall in a hurry. A famous teacher was speaking to the students. He was holding up a $100 bill. Then he said to over 300 students, “ Who would like this $100 bill?” The students put up their hands at once. Then he said, “I am going to give this $100 bill to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air. “Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back again into the air.

“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the $100 bill, you still want this bill. Many times in our life, we are dropped and stepped on. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value. You are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come form what you do or whom you know, but who you are.”

It was Sunday and Tom was staying home. After breakfast he went out into the garden and played quietly by himself. There were no kids around and he was used to playing alone quietly. He played with Bobby, the dog. He climbed up and down the trees. Sometimes a bird would come down to perch（停歇）on top of the doghouse.
Then Tom would have the greatest fun by throwing a stone or something at it. Though he never made it, he did like doing this kind of things.
Now Tom had been in the garden for half an hour. Suddenly a crack（碎裂声）was heard and the little boy began crying.
“What’s the matter, Tom?” his mother looked through the kitchen window.
Tom ran into the kitchen.
“Mum,” he sobbed（抽泣）, “I broke Bobby’s plate. I didn’t know it was so fragile（易碎的）.”
His mother put her arms round him and said, “Don’t feel too bad, Tom. We have other plates for Bobby. But how did you break that one?”
“I throw this at a bird but missed, and it went straight to the plate.” In Tom’s hand was his father’s gold pocket watch.（金怀表）!
