Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing world. But the 31 is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a 32 country like Germany? Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making 33 for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first 34 one long hot summer when most Germans were 35 on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches, 36 a table in the street and gave food to the homeless. The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t 37 . “What these people also need is warmth and 38 ,” says Rita. The Mullers didn’t 39 to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita 40 there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always 41 to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street. The couple were soon 42 all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to 43 donations. Today, over thirty companies 44 donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to 45 them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer 46 new shoes. Kurt and Rita receive no 47 for their hard work. “ We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t 48 money for helping their children. The love we get on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita admits she often gets 49 , she says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a 50 in the world.

Chuck,unlike other frogs,didn"t like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.
Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever. That didn"t matter to Chuck. Each morning,Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider"s web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond,Chuck ate flies from her web. One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast,Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him. “You"re the one who keeps eating my flies!”she cried. Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea!Why not spin (结) his own web? He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours,until very late at night. And then he fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning,he found that he got caught by the vines. “Help!”he shouted. Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web. “No matter how hard I try,I can"t spin a spider"s web,”Chuck said. “Of course not,”Lady Eightlegs said. “You"re a frog. Frogs can"t spin spider"s webs any better than spiders can swim,I guess.” “But I always see you in the water,”Chuck said. “I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees,”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.” Chuck smiled,“I have an idea.” From that day forward,Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond,where they floated and played together.

Imagine someone has crossed the seas joining five continents by swimming. It is a major success for anyone. But it is an even greater success for Philippe Croizon, who has no arms, and no legs! His achievements show that we can all achieve great things—no matter who we are. Philippe Croizon was 26 years old when he had an accident. The doctors had to remove both of his arms and legs. “When they cut off my last leg I wanted to die. I suffered great depression and my spirit was as low as you can get.
