Tom and his best friend Rob were out of school for the summer. They had been swimming, gone to the movies, played video games, and even built a castle out of some old cardboard boxes. But today they were so bored. “At least we would have something to do.” Tom thought for a while and suggested, “Let’s make some popcorn and lemonade and sell it outside.”
The boys went to the kitchen and asked Tom’s mom if she would help them make some lemonade while they popped the popcorn. Tom’s mom got the lemons from the refrigerator and also a small amount of sugar. She mixed up the lemonade while the boys started popping the popcorn.
Tom and Rob got a small table from the garage and set it up near the sidewalk. They made a red sign telling everyone that popcorn and lemonade was for sale. The boys sat for about ten minutes before they got their first sale. Mrs. Jenkins, one of their neighbors, was walking her dog. “It’s so hot today.” “I sure can use a drink,” she said. Soon the boys were busy handing out popcorn to Mr. Baker. He was walking down the street sending the mail. “I need a break,” he said. “Walking all over the neighborhood gave me an appetite.”
The boys had only three popcorn bags left and enough lemonade for three more cups. “Wow, I didn’t think the popcorn and lemonade would sell that fast. We made six dollars,” said Tom. “If we get bored again before school starts, we can try selling more lemonade with cookies(饼干) next time,” laughed Rob.

We didn’t notice that it was a __ __ until he ordered us to go into the back with him.

Dorothy and her friends were worried to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wide river.
"What can we do now?" Dorothy exclaimed. "There isn't a tree tall enough to fall across this river. "
"There's no problem, "the Scarecrow (稻草人)said. "The Tin Woodman will use his axe to build a raft (木筏) . "
And this is what the Tin Woodman did. And while he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily. Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went t sleep.
The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the raft was ready. Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The Lion stood at one end and nearly sank (下沉)it because he was so big and heavy. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end They both had long poles (杆子)that they used to push the raft through the water.
At first all went well, but then the river became so deep that the poles could not touch the bottom.
The Tin Woodman said, "If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and put a spell (咒语)on us. "
"And then we won't meet the Wizard, and I won't get any brains, " the Scarecrow said.
"And I won't get a heart, "the Tin Woodman said.

The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the river bank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion and the Tin
Woodman got off. Before the Scarecrow could get off however, the raft moved away from the river band and carried the Scarecrow down the river.
Dorothy said, "Perhaps we'll met the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue on our way to the City of Emeralds. "
The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the river bank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river. There was no sight of the raft.
