My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again brother and me around before the ship was out of , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of in with the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my brother and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while some type of part-time job. Leaving a career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. While she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, somehow, managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and comfortable.
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a to rearrange furniture, make curtains and pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my heroine.

Once upon a time, there were two very good friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one was a and one was a tiger.

For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly . The tiger said, “Everyone knows the cold when the moon wanes from full to new! ” The lion said, “Where did you hear such nonsense? Everyone knows the comes when the moon waxes from to full! ”
The argument got stronger and stronger. Neither could the other. They could not any conclusion to resolve the growing dispute. They started calling each other names! Fearing for their friendship, they decided to go to ask the learned forest , who would surely know about such things.
Visiting the hermit, the lion and tiger bowed respectfully and put their question to him. The friendly monk thought for a while and then gave his . “It can be cold in any phase of the , from new to full and back to new again. It is the wind that brings the cold, from west or north or east. Therefore, in a way, you are both right! And neither of you is by the other. The most important thing is to live without conflict, to remain . Unity is best by all means. ”
The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit. They were happy to be friends.
