Today I got my dream job in New York! However, it’s far away from my home town and I’ve never visited New York before. Yesterday I took the train here and one of my workmates met me at the railway station. Then he showed me to the company. There they had a welcome party for me. Great!

Suddenly, Jackal looked up to see his neighbor, Lion, walking straight toward him. He did not have enough time to get away. Jackal had played many tricks (捉弄) on Lion over of something quickly.
“Help! Help!” cried Jackal as he quickly jumped upon a large rock hanging over the road. “The rocks are falling down, and I can’t hold them much longer. We shall both be crushed (压碎) if you do not do your best to hold these rocks back, Lion”
At once, Lion pushed his strong shoulder against the rocks to keep them from moving any further. “I’ll just run over here to get something to stop the rocks,” shouted Jackal as he ran away to safety.
