That day was like any other day in his life． After school Michael walked past the shop in the street． He stopped to look at the front row of shoes， and he felt（1） ． He really wanted to have a pair of shoes（2） his birthday．
He walked away and thought of what to tell his mother． But he knew she had little money．He decided not to go home at once． So he went to the park and（3） on a bench（长椅）． Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair（轮椅），he noticed that the boy moved the wheels with his hands．
Michael looked at him（4） and was surprised to see that the boy had no（5） ． He looked down at his own feet．It is much better to be without shoes than without feet， thought． He was luckier in his life．
A thousand years ago， Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest． As more and more people came to live in Hong Kong， these trees were cut down and burnt． Now there is no forest left， though there are still some small areas covered with trees． We call these woods．
Elephants， tigers and many other animals were living in the thick forest． When people came to live in Hong Kong， the animals began to die out． Early farmers grew rice and kept pigs and chickens in the valleys． They cut down the trees and burnt them．They needed fire to keep themselves warm in winter，to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals． Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them． Many other animals soon died in the same way．
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong except in 2005． But there are still about 36 different animals living there． One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer． These are beautiful little animals with a rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail．They look like deer but they are much smaller． They are less than two feet high． They make a noise rather like a dog barking． In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy﹣ men．People hurt these little animals though it is illegal， There are now not many barking deer left． So it is important for people to protect wild animals．
