24、Many years ago, an enemy army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy(敌人) out of Scotland. But the enemy was very strong. It seemed that the enemy would win.
One night, the leader of Scots led his men to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight,” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight again. We must win or we will die.”
They were all tired so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they too, were very tired, and one by one they also fell asleep.
The enemies were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they were up the hill, taking care not to make a sound. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots.

25、 When I was in the 7th grade my family traveled to Florida for winter break by car. All was going well while we were driving back, until we stopped at a gas station in Kentucky at 4:00 a.m., just hours away from home. As my sister and I hopped(跳)out of the car, my diary fell out onto the cold, dark sidewalk. And my deepest darkest 7th grade secrets lay there for the whole world to read. But I didn't even notice. Instead I hopped back into the car, and we drove away. When I got home I was very angry at my stupidity. For weeks, I could only imagine the possible results of my forgetfulness; strangers were talking about a silly girl's secrets.
Until one day, something amazing happened. I went to school and my name was called on the school radio—I had gotten a package from New York. I opened the yellow paper, and inside was my diary! Although the cover was dirty, it was there, and had been sent from the town in Kentucky to New York where it was then shipped me.
Along with the diary was a note from a man. He said after picking up my diary, he found my report card in the back, and shipped it to the address of my school. He also told me that he did not invade(侵犯) my privacy(隐私) which made the stone fall away from my heart.
To this day, I am moved by his unbelievable thoughtfulness and kindness—seeing my diary, taking time out of his day and money out of his pocket to sent it to me. I realize that it is to be considerate(考虑周到的)of others.

26、 Once, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to climb to the tree top, ate the apples and played around it. With time on, the little boy grew up. He no longer played around it every day. One day, the boy came back, sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I am no longer a kid.” The boy replied, “ I need money to buy toys.” “I don’t have money...,but you can pick all my apples and sell them.” The boy was so excited. He picked all apples and left happily. The boy never came back after that.
One day, the boy returned. “Come and play with me,” the tree said happily. “I have no time to play. We need a house for my family.” “You can cut off my branches .” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. But he never came back since then.
Again, the boy returned and said. “ I want to make a navigation across the sea. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk(主干) to build your boat.” So the boy cut the trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. the only thing left is my dying roots.” the tree said with tears.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.
“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to rest. Come and rest with me.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.
You may think that the boy is cold to the tree but that’s how we are treating our parents. The tree is our parent.When we were young, we loved to play with them.When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. Whatever we ask for, parents will give everything they have and always be there waiting for us home.
