Polly Goodman, 82-year-old, was a rich old woman. Her husband was a businessman and left her a large

fortune after his death, so she had no problems supporting herself. The only problem was that her son who

was a doctor busy with his work seldom had time to visit her, leaving her living lonely.

One day, Polly was walking along the beach, like she did every evening near her seaside house, when

she noticed a young boy and his little sister playing there. As she was passing by them, she heard their

mother calling out to them. "Corey! Daisy! Be careful! Stay away from the water!"

Polly noticed their mother resting on a bench, appearing sick and tired. The dark circles under her eyes

were quite obvious, and she coughed frequently. Polly always had a desire to have a chat with someone. So

she walked carefully towards the mother with a kind smile on her face.

"Hi, I'm Polly. I live by the beach." Polly said.

The mother looked up at Polly, feeling a little surprised. The mother told Polly she was Lydia and had

worked as a waitress. Lydia further said that she and her children had only recently moved to that location

because her children had always wanted to see the ocean. Then Lydia stopped to cough heavily. After she

calmed down, it seemed she wanted to say something, but stopped as if there was something difficult to tell.

Polly did not follow up, saying goodbye and left.

When Polly went to the beach the next day, she saw the kids again, but this time their mother wasn't

with them. She observed them playing by themselves until late in the evening before heading home. The

third day came and again the two kids played at the seaside until late in the evening, still without their

mother's company. Then the elder brother was about to lead the sister back home. Out of curiosity and care

Polly decided to follow them to their house.

At the age of 17, I formed a band with three classmates. After we won the first prize at our school's

talent show, we decided to see if we could get some local performances. When we found out we'd gotten

booked for a charitable event at a large hospital, we were excited. For two weeks, we practiced hard, getting

together every day after school to sharpen our skills and learn enough songs to fill a one-hour show.

On the day of the concert, we showed up early to check out the stage. We set up and did a quick sound

check, then went backstage to have a soda and rest. While we were back there, the hospital's entertainment

director came over to talk to us.

"Okay, boys, I just want to fill you in on a couple of important details," she told us. "A lot of the people

in the audience are suffering from severe physical or mental disabilities. Also, many of them are very old.

Don't let that alarm you. They have very few chances to see live entertainment of any kind, so they enjoy any

kind of musical talent. Just play your regular show, and you'll do fine." With that, she left, going to help the

volunteers and staff that were assisting the patients to their seats.

Soon enough, it was show time. Everything was perfect, and we played probably the best show of our

lives. We hardly missed a note on any of our songs. Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy our performance. As

each song finished, there was a short pause. This was the time when the audience would normally applaud.

Now, we were getting nothing. Zero. The deafening silence only made us more determined to win the

audience over. We tried harder. Loud songs, soft songs, it made no difference. After forty-five minutes, we

decided to end our set early. Why bother finishing when no one was appreciating us anyway? We

unplugged(拔去）our instruments and went backstage.

Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant's

garden. It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. The birds sat on the trees and sang. One day the

Giant came back after visiting his friend. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden. "What

are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff(粗哑) voice, and the children ran away.

"My own garden is my own garden," said the Giant, "I will allow nobody to play in it but myself. " So

he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice board—INVADER WILL BE ACCUSED.

Then the Spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the

garden of the Giant it was still winter. The birds did not care to sing in it as there were no children, and the
