A man rushed through the fire and pulled me out. He was a very brave man. After I came out of hospital, I tried to race again, but I was too afraid of fire.

| You may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may also watch taxis move their way slowly through traffic jams. No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. In London, people like to take the "underground", also called the "tube". The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world and it is the pleasure of many Londoners. The tube is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a tube station. New York is famous for its yellow cabs (出租车). They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan. But, with over 12.000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, (纽约别称) they are also a lot of traffic jams. Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a sign of San Francisco. But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. The city"s public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across town by bus. | |

| We always celebrated Dad"s birthday on Thanksgiving Day, even after he entered a nursing home. When we knew it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to come together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home. Dad was a good storyteller. But this time I told Dad that it was now his turn to listen to some stories for a change. One after another, people told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes. People recalled kinds of stories ----stories about when they were little, stories about when Dad was young, and stories that shared family treasures. Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn"t wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life, here was a change to tell him how much we love him. A few months later, at Dad"s memorial service, we more fully realized what we had given to Dad that night.

He had them to hold and enjoyed them from time to time in his mind during his last days and months.
