farm. Dan and Stella Parks live in the farmhouse and work on the farm. You can help them, too. We have
some animals, some sheep, a few cows and chickens. And there's a horse called Smoke. He's gray, like his
name. Can you ride?"
     "Yes," I said, "I can ride a horse."
     "You can ride Smoke around the island, if you like."
     "I'd like that," I said, "Thank you."
     "And we grow vegetables and fruit." he said, "I work on the farm sometimes. I enjoy it." 
     I smiled at him but he didn't smile back.
     "Carol will enjoy working on the farm," said my mother, "Won't you, Carol?"

Once there was a piano player in a bar (酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.
“I don’t sing,” said the man.
But the lady told the waiter, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”
The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”
So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
