It was a Monday morning and, as always Katrina and her mom got in the car at 6：35 to drive to the ferry(渡船) at Lyness. When they got there half an hour later, the ferry was just arriving.
“Dad's coming to get you on Friday, Katrina，” her mother said, “have a good week.”
At a quarter to eight the ferry arrived in Houton on Mainland. Katrina waited there with the other kids for the school bus which took them to Kirkwall Grandma School. The same as every Monday morning.
But this Monday was different. A researcher was coming to interview some students for a TV documentary about the school. So at 10 o'clock Katrina was waiting outside the researcher's room for her interview.
The door opened and Fiona came out. Fiona was one of the “Beauties”， the name for a group of trendy girls in her class. Katrina went in and closed the door.
“Hello，” said the woman at the desk. She smiled and pointed to an empty chair. The film researcher's last name was Jane and she already knew who Katrina was and where she lived.
“I see you're from Hoy, Katrina.”
“Aye, that's right，” Katrina answered.
“Why don't you go to school on Hoy？”
“Och, the school on Hoy only goes to Secondary 2，” Katrina explained. “So I've been coming here to Kirkwall since last year.”
“I see. Do you come by ferry every day then？” Jane asked.
“No, I can't do that，” Katrina told her. “It takes too long. I have to live in the hostel from Monday to Friday.”
Jane was surprised. “Ah, that's interesting. The school has a hostel？”
“Aye，” Katrina told her. “The students from the other islands live in the hostel on weekdays. I come over from Hoy early on Monday morning and I go home after school on Friday.”

Once a tiger was in a cage( 笼). Soon a good man went by. As soon as the tiger saw the man, the tiger began to cry. “Please! Please!” the tiger called. “Please, let me out.” “No,” said the good man. “If I do, you will eat me.” “I will not eat you,” the tiger said. “Please let me out.”
The good man believed the tiger. He opened the door of the cage. The tiger jumped out. “How silly you are,” the tiger laughed. “Now I am going to eat you.” “Wait!” the man cried. “You ought not to eat me. Let us ask others what they think.” “You may ask three others. ” the tiger said.
The good man asked a tree. The tree said, “I give shade (树荫). And yet I am cut down. Let the tiger eat you.”
Next, the good man asked a bird. The bird said, “I hurt no one. Yet people hunt and kill me. Let the tiger eat you.”
The last one that the good man asked was a road. The road said, “I don’t care if the tiger eats you. People could not get along too well without me. Yet all day and all night people step on me without even a ‘thank you’.”
The tiger was ready to eat the good man. Just then a dog came by. “What is happening?”
asked the dog. The man told the dog the whole story.
“I don’t understand,” said the dog. “The tiger wants to eat you because you put him in a cage?”
“No, no,” said the man. “Some other men put him in a cage.”
“Oh,” the dog said. “He is going to eat you because you do not have a cage.”
“Silly dog!” the tiger cried. “Don’t you understand? I was in the cage. This man let me out.”
“Oh, I see,” the dog said. “When the man was in the cage, you let him out.”
“I was in the cage!” the tiger cried. “In this way!” with that, he jumped back into the cage.
At once, the dog closed the door of the cage. “Oh,” the dog laughed. “At last I understand!”
The good man and the dog walked off. The tiger looked sad in the cage. If he waited long enough, perhaps another good man would come by.
