　　Tom and John were brothers. They lived in the same room and were in the same class. One day they had a fight(打架), so they didn't speak to each other for a few days. One Monday evening, Tom was very tired(疲倦的) when he came back from school. He went to bed after supper. He did not say anything to John. John helped his mother with the housework.

Today is Tom’s birthday. After school he walks past the shop on the street corner. He looks at the window. That pair of trainers is still there. He really wants to have them very much.
　He was very sad and walks away. He knows his mother can give him anything he likes if she can. But he also knows she has no money and the trainers are too expensive. He doesn’t go home at once because his mother could notice (注意) his worry. So he goes to the park and sits on the grass. Then he sees a boy in a wheel chair (轮椅) . He finds that the boy moves the wheel with his hands. Tom looks at him carefully and is surprised to see that the boy has no feet. He looks at his own feet. “It’s much better to be without shoes than without feet.” he thinks. There is no reason (理由) for him to feel so sorry and sad. He smiles and thinks he is happier.
