Once William asked a very strange question. He looked at his people. he looked, one by one the heads began to hang low in search of an answer. It was at that moment that George entered the palace. George the habit of the king. He understood the at once and asked, “May I know the question so that I can for an answer?”
William said, “How many crows(乌鸦) are there in the city?”
even a moment’s thought, George replied, “There are fifty thousand five hundred and eighty nine crows, My Lord.”
“How can you be so ?” asked William.
George said, “Make your men , My Lord. If you find more crows it means some have come to visit their relatives(亲戚) here. If you find crows it means some have gone to visit their relatives somewhere else.”
William was pleased very much by George’s wise answer.

It was a lovely spring day.We could see dandelions(蒲公英)coming out through the grass,just like a painter had touched our woods and fields with bits of gold.I watched my mother carelessly bend down(弯腰) (40) some flowers."I think I am going to dig up all the wild grass,"she said."But I like dandelions,all flowers are beautiful﹣even dandelions!"I said.My mother looked at me seriously."Yes,every flower shines in (41) own way.And that is true of people,too,"she said.She had guessed my pain.I started to cry and told her the (42) ."You will be a beautiful narrator,"she said,(43) me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.
Over the next few weeks,I learned to take(44) in the role.The big day finally came.A few minutes before the play,my teacher came over to me."Your mother asked me to give this to you,"she said,handing me a (45) .After the play,I took the flower home,laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such wild grass.
