SNAKES(蛇)

Some snakes eat other snakes, even poisonous ones. The poison

does not do them any harm(伤害). Snakes can swallow(吞下) things that are bigger around than they themselves are. This is possible because the jawbones(腭骨) are loosely joined, and the mouth can stretch（伸展）to make room for a fat animal. The snake’s slim body stretches to make space for the animal when it is inside. Many snakes eat birds’eggs or frogs（青蛙）. Others eat pests（害虫）, mice and otheranimals

that harm crops on farms. Because snakes do this valuable work, you should never kill one. It is too dangerous for you to kill a poisonous one. Leave that job to experts.

I have a we call “Happy”.I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone. Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben?s beans, we all wished we also had such large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.

Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn?t know what was about to take place. By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. Weshared a lot of stories. By five o?clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty（收成）of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift! Well, the point wasn?t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another?s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben?s garden.Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

How to Become Cleverer

Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer, because his mother always called him “foolish boy”.

“That?s easy,” answered the fisherman. “I know one way to make you become cleverer.”

“Really?”

“Of course. It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you?ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.”

The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and

handed it to him. A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps. “Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.

“Not in my head,” said the boy.The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn?t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief!
