As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday...

As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday , it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen ( 结冰的).

Of course, that doesn’t matter to Ricky and Lucy. They have a habit that they must find a place to fight with each other no matter how cold or hot it is.

As cold as it was, I was excited thinking about how wonderful this special cold really was.

Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summer’s really hot days came through my mind. I could remember standing in heat of the afternoon, with sweat pouring down my head and the hot, burning sun against my face.　 I told myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat. Because of the special cold, I enjoy the heat more.

So I realized that without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days

When things just right. without the extremes, life would be boring. For example, heath problems remind us that we need to pay more attention to how we live.

Now, I want to start finding a reason to be happy, even if it’s simply the fact that I’m still alive in the world.

Two children stood outside the door with old coats. “Any old papers, Lady?” asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say no, but I saw that their shoes were broken and wet. “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot tea.” They came in, saying nothing. Their shoes left snow on the floor.

I gave them tea and bread to protect them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again.

The silence in the front room surprised me. I looked in.

The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked me in a low voice, “Lady, are you rich?”

Am I rich? Oh, no! I looked at my old things in my room.

The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟) carefully. “Your cups match your saucers.”

They left then, holding their papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you. They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. The blue cups and saucers were simple. But they said that they matched. The potatoes and meat before me, a roof over our hands, my husband with a job—these things matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The prints of their small shoes were still wet on my floor. I let them be. I wanted them there to remind me how rich I was.

The Fish I Didn’t Catch

I still remember my first fishing trip as if it were but yesterday. It was a still, sweet day of early summer. I received the first fishing pole from my uncle’s hand, and walked with him towards the _____.

My uncle, who knew where the best hangouts of fish were, kindly placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and ____　 eagerly for a bite. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said my uncle. Suddenly the bait(鱼饵) went down out of sight. “Now for it,” I thought, “Here is a fish at last.”

I made a strong pull, and brought up a tangle of weeds(一团海草). Again and again I cast out my line and drew it back ____. I looked at my uncle appealingly(可怜巴巴地). “Try once more,”　 he said, “We fishermen must have ____. It took me a whole day until I got my first fish.”

Suddenly something pulled hard at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Jerking it up, I saw a big fish wriggling(扭来扭去) in the sun. “Uncle!” I cried, looking back in uncontrollable ____, “I’ve got a fish!” “Not yet,” said my uncle. As he spoke, there was a plash(泼溅) in the water, my hook hung empty from the line. I had lost my ____. My patience was used up.

I sat down on the nearest stone and ____ to be comforted. Even my uncle promised that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, put the pole again in my hands, and told me to try my luck once more.

“But remember, boy,” he said, “Never show off catching a fish until he is on dry ground.”

Though years have now passed, I have always been reminded of the fish that I did not catch. When I hear people show off a work as yet undone, I call to mind that scene by the river, and the wise warning of my uncle, “It’s no use to talk too ____ about anything until it’s done.”
