Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.
I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.
It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging(挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.
When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!Prana was .

There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel,and I know that the experience will make one a better person.
I remember when I was traveling that I began to know the world better.The world is not just about me,my small town and home.Although you will meet different people from all over the world,you will realize that people are similar in their dreams,hopes and feelings.Enjoy exploring the different cultures,and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live.Once you understand their ways,it need not be strange or scary.Often we read stories about other cultures in books.Only when we visit their areas,do we find that those stories are sometimes wrong.
One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world.We cannot just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out.The world should get involved(干预)and help wherever there are problems.People everywhere should be given a chance.It is so easy to ignore(忽视)this if one does not travel and explore.One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours.One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big agter all.
On your journey you will meet lots of new friends.Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time.You will certainly be more confident after having to cope with problems and make many decisions along the way.
When you travel,you have to be on your own in some situations.You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that.All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read.It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories.
Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience.If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences,we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.
