The tree in the backyard
There is a tree in our big yard. It a boring small,yellow flowers each spring.
The tree has been there for all these years, even in the coldest winter.
But this spring, the yellow flowers didn't show up. What's could be worry?
My mother looked at the train, she told us sadly, " The tree is dead."
The tree is dead?
" Why didn't the tree live through the last winter?" I asked. " It wasn't a cold winter!"
My mother look at the tree. She noticed 注意到that the roots came out of the ground, which was caused by a strong wind in the fall.
" This must be the reason," she said, " We didn't protect the roots. The tree is gone."
Now I know how important the roots are.
Roots are important to everything.

Wedding gift
结婚礼物
My grandfather loves fishing. He has told me many of his fishing stories.
Back in the 1960s his sister was about to get married. Grandpa's father wanted to give his only daughter a nice wedding gifta—— a bike.
But the family was poor, they had no money to buy a bike.
What did they do?
My father wanted to give my sister a bicycle.
To help their father, my grandfather went fishing with his young brother.
It was early spring. They had fishing rules and a fishing net with them too. The fished in the river.
In half a day, they got a full bucket of fish.
They went to the city and sold all the fish quickly. The money was just enough to buy a new bike.
