      "How    19      it seems," he used to say, "Even making tacks can bring a     20 . My trade is more
useful to me than all my former property."

     Jennie and I met in night school. After having completed the required courses, we started teaching in
the same school. Frequently we had lunch together.
     For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son,
we discovered we were kindred spirits. "He"s a difficult little character," I explained. Jennie looked
thoughtful, “Maybe you"re seeing him with your eyes.” She was silent a moment and then added softly,
"It is only with the heart that one sees rightly." I stared at her, "You"re quoting that! It"s from The Little
Prince, SaintExupery"s book for children. One of my favorites. You know it, too?" Jennie nodded, "I love
it. I"ve read it so often, I"ve practically memorized it."
     Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book, because Jennie-more than anyone I know-possessed
the gift of seeing with the heart.
     From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn"t that I didn"t
have an excellent relationship with my husband and son. But my mother had died shortly after my
marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those
little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life-things that must be shared to be fully
appreciated.
     And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourthgrade problem child. One day I was at_my wit"s_end. "What he needs is a good beating!" I exploded.
     "He"s probably had plenty of those," Jennie said. "Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he
does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I
discovered a lovable little boy.
     Looking back, I had to admit that she taught me so much, such as how to love spring. One April day
I said, "I hate rain!" And I"ll never forget what she said, "You can"t hate spring rain! It brings the flowers!" So I learned to love spring rain, too, because it did bring flowers-violets, tulips and daffodils.

     Once upon a time there was one storyteller. After getting tired of telling old fabricated stories, he left
his house in search of a real life story.
     He reached a village and took a cottage for rent. After wandering in the village throughout the month,
in search of  true stories, the storyteller couldn"t find one. Disappointed, he decided to stop his search.
     The next day, while sitting in the cottage, he suddenly heard a voice-a woman was yelling(吼叫)at
someone. The voice was coming from the big wall behind his cottage.
     He tried to hear the conversation; it sounded like the woman was abusing(辱骂)her daughterinlaw.
The storyteller didn"t like it but he was happy to finally get his story.
     Listening to the conversations each day he added them to his story. Though he couldn"t see the
characters of his story, he started hating the motherinlaw, as she seemed to be a villain(坏人).
     Now it was time to finalize the end of the story. But before he did, the storyteller wanted to see the
characters once, so he climbed up the wall.
     There he saw the motherinlaw sitting in a wheelchair. It seemed she was disabled and that the
daughterinlaw was resting nearby.
     He saw the old lady trying to get some food lying on the table near her chair. But because of her
condition, she couldn"t reach it and it looked like the daughterinlaw was enjoying the old lady"s
helplessness. Suddenly the old lady fell from the chair and started abusing her daughterinlaw.
     The storyteller went back and quickly changed the ending of the story. He was surprised how
different it was compared to what he originally thought it would be.Truly he had found both a real life
story and areal life lesson.

A. Her daughterinlaw didn"t take care of her.
B. Her daughterinlaw was too busy to help her.
