Lucky, our beautiful dog, isn’t with us any more．But she brought such joy and love into our lives we still miss her．There are so many wonderful stories about the love in this dog, but my favorite is this one:
It was an autumn day in Minnesota．Unexpectedly, a big snowstorm which no one was prepared for our city．
We have two apple trees in our backyard．Lucky loved apples．When she went outside, she’d hold an apple in her and take it into the house to save for eating later．The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always that Lucky had brought them into the house．
On the day that it snowed too early in the season, Lucky went outside and I her from the window．I noticed that she was digging to bring the apples to the surface so they could be seen the snow．I wondered why she was doing this．She seemed to be completely busy with some kind of important task to find as many as possible during her yard time．
, she had one apple in her mouth when I called her back into the house．About five minutes later I looked outside．The yard was completely covered with birds．Lucky had all those apples for her bird and squirrel friends to eat．She knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food to survive such an early winter!

Once a beggar(乞丐) had walked about five miles in the hot sun. He was quite tired and wanted to 1 . As he came to a crossing, he saw a tall tree. On one side 2 the tree he saw a board(木牌). “Take This Road To Franklin” was written on the board.
