A
girl told her mom everything was going wrong for
her, and that she always failed her math
exam so that she wouldn’t like to study
at all. After hearing the daughter’s words, the
nice and
patient mother thought of a
good way to make her
daughter happy. “I
will make a delicious cake
for you,”
said the mom. She walked into the kitchen, and the
daughter followed with her. When
the
mom prepared the cooking utensils
(
炊具
) and
ingredients
（
原料）
,
the daughter sat against the
kitchen
door, watching
her. Her mom asked her,
“My dear, would you like a piece of cake?” The
daughter
replied,
“Sure,
Mom!
You
know
how
I
love
cake!”
“All
right,”
the
mom
said,
“drink
some
of this cooking oil.” The daughter was very
surprised and said, “What? No way!!!” “How
about some raw
(

and the daughter answered, “No way!” “How about
some flour (

)?”
“No, Mom! I will be sick!”
The mother explained, “All of these are
uncooked and taste bad, but if you put them
together,

Luck has always been my closest friend
these past five years. As you already know, there
are
a lot of forest fires during the
summer season. Many forests are badly burnt by
fire each year.
This hot
summer, not far from our house, a forest caught
fire. It was in July and a heat wave
had
been
going
on
for
three
days.
Luck
rushed
towards
the
forest
because
of
the
burning
heat.
There was no longer any hope at that
moment to wait for Luck to come back. Suddenly, a
fireman
ran into my house and told me
that my dog Luck succeeded in saving four cats
that were caught in
the fire. According
to the fireman, Luck caught the cats, moving them
one by one into a safe place.
I ran out
of the house and went with the firemen to the
forest to pick up the saved cats. When
we arrived, Luck was not there. Then we
heard the sound of a dog coming from the forest
barking
(
犬吠
). I
knew it was the sound of my dog Luck. The firemen
followed the tracks (
踪迹
) of
the
dog until they found him barking
loudly by the side of a hurt fireman who was
hopelessly lying on
the ground and
waiting for someone to save him.
Thanks to Luck, four cats and a fireman
were saved. That day, I was very proud of Luck for
his two heroic actions.
Later I paid a visit to the fireman in
his house with my lovely Luck. It was such a
memorable
scene when the fireman held
Luck close to his chest! “One thousand thanks,
Luck, for saving my
life,” the fireman
said.
