Long long ago, an old man lived with his three sons. He had 17 horses. One day, he died. In his will (遗嘱), the old man said that the eldest son would have half of the 17 horses, the second one would get one third and the youngest one would get one ninth!
All of them were very puzzled (困惑的) to read the will. They spent several days thinking how to divide 17 horses, but couldn’t find the answer.
They finally asked a wise (智慧的) man in their village for help. The wise man quickly found a way. He asked them to bring all 17 horses to a large place. Then he brought one of his horses and made the number of the horses become 18.
He asked the first son to read the will. He should get half of the horses. It was 18/2---9 horses.
The wise man asked the second son to read the will. He could get one third of the horses. It was 18/3---6 horses.
The third son got one ninth of the horses. It was18/9---2 horses.
There were 9+6+2 horses, which came to 17 horses.
The wise man solved this problem easily and took back his horse.

The moon was behind a cloud and there weren’t many stars in the sky.
It was a dark night. I saw a glow(光，光亮) in my neighbour’s kitchen. I thought he was having a night meal so I went back to my bed.
Soon, there was a smell of burning (烧东西的焦糊味) in the air and I thought there was probably something wrong. I jumped out of the bed quickly and went out to make sure. I saw a fire coming out of my neighbour’s kitchen. Then I shouted "Fire! Fire!" But no one in the neighbourhood heard my shouts for help.
I ran into my house, called the fire department (消防队) and went back to my neighbour’s house. I banged（猛敲）on the door and called out my neighbour’s name, but there was no answer. Finally I got into the house and rescued a cat and a dog.
