The moon was behind a cloud and there weren’t...

The moon was behind a cloud and there weren’t many stars in the sky.

It was a dark night. I saw a glow(光，光亮) in my neighbour’s kitchen. I thought he was having a night meal so I went back to my bed.

Soon, there was a smell of burning (烧东西的焦糊味) in the air and I thought there was probably something wrong. I jumped out of the bed quickly and went out to make sure. I saw a fire coming out of my neighbour’s kitchen. Then I shouted "Fire! Fire!" But no one in the neighbourhood heard my shouts for help.

I ran into my house, called the fire department (消防队) and went back to my neighbour’s house. I banged（猛敲）on the door and called out my neighbour’s name, but there was no answer. Finally I got into the house and rescued a cat and a dog.

I tried to pour water through the kitchen window but it was no use. It was a big fire. Luckily, the firemen arrived soon and stopped the fire.

When my neighbour came back, he was sad for his kitchen but he thanked me for calling the fire department and for saving his pets. He wanted to give me some money but I did not accept it.

Weeks later, my neighbour had a new kitchen. He invited me to see his new kitchen and we enjoyed a big meal there. It made me very happy.

In the universe, as we all know, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and a good many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes around the sun, and the moon goes around the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.

Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.

The sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The moon can’t give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually (事实上) the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are further away from the earth.

There are many other planets in the universe. But of all the planets, only on the earth there are living things and people can only live on the earth, too.
