He didn’t work hard but wanted to become rich. One day, Hans saved an old man who was a sage (智者). He promised to give Hans a boon (恩惠). Hans told the sage that he wanted to be rich without working hard. Then the sage gave Hans the boon: Every night Hans would have a dream. The dream would show someone’s trouble, and Hans knew how to solve the problem. This could help him make money. Starting that night, Hans had different dreams. With his dreams, he helped many people. They all thanked him and gave him much money. Soon, he became rich. However, Hans felt unhappy and he couldn’t sleep well. As a result, his health deteriorated. When he met the sage again, Hans asked him to take the boon back. The sage asked why. Hans said his health was more important though he loved money. He decided to work hard to make money.

Many of the stones are small, but a few of them are very big. The biggest stone weighs about 350 kg. The stones only move at night. Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists know why the stones can move. The answer is the wind. When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east. When the wind is from the south, they always move to the north. But how can the wind move a very heavy stone? Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even storms at night. Rain falls, and the wind is strong and cold. The water on the ground turns into ice easily. Then the strong wind can move the stones along the flat (平的) ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries the ground. So people can find them move from one place to another in the daytime. 24.

This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds. Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as he used to. However, this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant! I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley (峡谷) below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist (雾) in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains (蒸汽火车) are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it. Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early (we usually expect snow in January). It rained all day, and then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine! Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I have told you in the last e-mail that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.

Last summer vacation, my father took me to the swimming pool in our neighborhood and taught me to swim. It was the first for me to swim. At first, I could not swim at all. My father was very patient. He encouraged me and taught me how to swim. He taught me how to breathe in the water first. Then, He threw me into the deepest part of the swimming pool. I was so frightened that I couldn’t move. But I never gave up. I felt safe with my dad around. Three hours later, with the help of my father, I could swim by myself. Although I couldn't swim very well, I was very happy. I will never forget this experience, because I not only learned how to swim, but also learned to be brave! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
