Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live a happy life, too. Here are two real stories from our readers.

The first story is from Ray. "My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's he up to?' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to communicate with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."

The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird-a wild 'Mom' cockatoo（鹦鹉）from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子). It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The 'Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn't fly, 'Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' cockatoo. 'Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily."

After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should respect every life in the world.

Sally loved cars more than anything else. This spring she thought of building a go­kart to enter for the Go­Go Race. So she asked her dad for help.

“Well，” he said. “You can do some research first and then come back to me with a design.”

A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go­kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work. “Well, that's interesting，” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you've designed.”

Over three weeks of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go­kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.

After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. She said, “Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive. When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback. Why didn't you tell me about that problem in the first place？”

Dad laughed. “If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. But if you teach a man how to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.”

Sally said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun！”

Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way.”

That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go­kart, he nodded with pride.

Finally came the race. Sally wasn't worried about whether she would win. In her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before.
