George looked very hard. By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some shade(树荫), and by it were some fine, wild strawberries.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter,” thought George. He picked up all of the strawberries. As he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother, alone in her dark, cold room in the village.
With this in mind, he put the strawberry back again. “Shall I save them for her?” he asked himself.
He thought how refreshing they would be for her, yet still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. He divided them into two heaps(堆), but each heap looked so small. He put them together again.
“I will only eat one,” he thought.
But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back.
When the sun was beginning to go down, George set out for home. How happy he felt, then, that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother.

How do I develop a good relationship with parents
Last Friday, my best friend invited me to go to the library to do homework together. However, when I told my mom about it, she said she would never agree with our plan. I begged again and again, but she didn’t change her mind.
The next morning, I had a talk with mom, telling her that I didn’t want to break my words and let my friend down. Besides, I made a clear study plan and promised I would finish all my homework in the library. What I did made my mom less worried and she finally said “Yes”.

Little George lived in a poor village. One summer day George’s mother sent him to the field to pick up some dried wood for the fire.
George looked very hard. By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some shade(树荫), and by it were some fine, wild strawberries.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter,” thought George. He picked up all of the strawberries. As he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother, alone in her dark, cold room in the village.
With this in mind, he put the strawberry back again. “Shall I save them for her?” he asked himself.
He thought how refreshing they would be for her, yet still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. He divided them into two heaps(堆), but each heap looked so small. He put them together again.
“I will only eat one,” he thought.
But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back.
When the sun was beginning to go down, George set out for home. How happy he felt, then, that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother.
He heard his mother’s faint voice calling him. “Is that you, George? I am glad you have come back. I am thirsty, and am longing for some tea.”
