One day a man was walking in the street when he met a penguin (企鹅).It was a handsome and very brave bird. It seemed to take an immediate liking to the man, because it walked up to him and then followed him wherever he went.This was funny for a while but in the end became rather embarrassing(尴尬的).
“Go away, you silly bird, ’’the man said to the penguin, but the bird ignored him. It simply would not leave him alone.Wherever he went, the bird went too.

“Oh,all right.’’said the man.
The next day the man was walking along the street, still accompanied (陪伴) by the penguin, when he met the policeman he’d spoken to the day before.The policeman was not pleased to see them.“I thought I advised you to take that animal to the zoo, ” he said.
“Well, yes, officer, you did.And I did take him to the zoo, ” the man explained. “And we had a great time. But we can’t go to the zoo every day.I thought today I'd take him to the movies.’’

One day I was walking home along the street with my iPad on,when suddenly my headphones(耳机)were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck,saying“Just be quiet.” I was being attacked,and this man's arm was gripping(紧夹)onto me!I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying“Be quiet.”
My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother’s voice in my head. She was saying“Come on now. I know you are stronger than that!” She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.
I have never had any self-defense(自卫)training, but I went for it--I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(胫骨)!He let go of me(放开我) and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me,I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby store.
I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs(抽泣).“I am calling the police!” She exclaimed. When we got home,two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.
After my experience,I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better,but I still don’t like anyone going near my neck.
The fear isn’t totally gone-after all; the guy is still out there somewhere. But I had a new understanding of my own strength. I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker. I am stronger than I realized.
