Adventure Club by Liz Dolence

Simon and Peter were the only kids in their neighborhood. They found each other out of necessity more than actual affection for one another. But what started out as a playdate forced by their moms, did eventually grow into a bond with some measure of fondness. By the time they were 8 years old, they were inseparable. In school, they sat next to each other, until the teacher moved them for talking too much. They walked home from school together, ate after school snack together, did school work together, and played together. When they could manage it, they ate dinner together and stayed at each others’ houses too. Their parents were just glad to have them out of their hair most of the time.

It was on one such afternoon, that the boys started an adventure club. It was very exclusive, as they were the only two members. In this club, they would explore the unexplored; see what they had not seen; go where they had not gone. It is entirely possible that they were reading too many adve...

流浪狗守墓14年 只为陌生人一饭之恩 by 佚名

如果你救起一只快要饿死的狗，让他康复，他将不会咬你。这乃是人与狗的主要不同。 ——马克吐温  格雷弗里尔广场上的雕像。 这个世界上没有多少纪念碑是为狗而设立的。但是在苏格兰爱丁堡的格雷弗里尔广场，当地居民为了纪念一只名为巴比的猎犬，设立了一尊它的雕像。 为什么爱丁堡的居民为一只小狗设立塑像呢？因为这只小狗在它有生之年，为当地居民上了非常重要的一课。巴比是只无主的小猎犬，就跟其他街巷的流浪狗一样，被每个人呼来喝去，常常得在垃圾箱里找些食物来裹腹——即使从狗的视角出发来看，这也绝不是个理想的生活方式。 刚好村子里有位病重的老人叫杰克，在他去世以前，杰克注意到这只小狗的悲惨命运，他对这只小狗也帮不上什么忙，只是有天晚上在一家餐馆请小狗吃了一顿晚饭。这顿晚饭也不是什么大餐，只是些剩余食物，但是巴比对这顿晚饭的感激之情却超过了任何人的想象。 不久之后，杰克去世了。当送葬者把他的棺木抬到墓地时，小猎犬巴比也跟着队伍走，挖坟坑的工人要它走开，巴比却纹丝不动。他们踢它，拿石头砸它，要它离开。　 但是不论大家怎么做，巴比还是坚守在那里，动也不动。从那时开始，整整14年，小猎犬巴比一直活在杰克对它有一饭之恩的的记忆里。日以继夜，严冬酷暑，巴比一直蹲守在墓边，只有每天下午，才会跑到杰克请它吃饭的餐馆，试图找到些食物。不论找到什么，它一定会带回到杰克的墓边才吃。 杰克死后的第一年冬天，巴比根本无处躲避风雪，整个身体缩成一团躲在墓碑下。第二年冬天，村民们被巴比的勇敢和守墓行为感动，为它盖了一个小棚。14年后，巴比去世时，村民把它葬在杰克的墓边。这就是小猎犬巴比报答杰克“一饭之恩”的诚心。 继续阅读 ｜救助犬的最后遗言｜流浪狗十七｜一条狗对人的原谅｜ ...

你也能创造奇迹 by 佚名

几年前，纽约城北住着位姑娘叫艾米丽，她自怨自艾，认定自己的理想永远实现不了。她的理想是什么呢?是每一位妙龄姑娘的理想：跟意中人——一位英俊的王子结婚，白头偕老。 在一个雨天的下午，不幸的艾米丽去找一位很出名的心理学家，心理学家对她说：“艾米丽，我会有办法的。但你得按我讲的做：明天一早，你就去买身新衣服，不过你不要自己挑，你只问店员，按她的主意买，因为你很需要听听别人的意见。接着你去理个发，你也不要自己选发型，只问理发师，按他的主意办。然后，星期二晚上，我家有个晚会，请你来参加……” 艾米丽摇了摇头，心理学家理解地点点头，说：“你是说参加晚会也不会愉快吧?不过我是请你来帮忙的。参加晚会的人不少，互相认识的却不多。你来了，得处处留心帮助别人。要看见有哪位年轻人，孤孤单单，你就上前问好……” “年轻人?问好?” “对，上前向他问好，就说你代表我欢迎他。你的任务就是帮助我照顾客人——明白了?” 艾米丽一脸不安，心理学家继续说：“人都到齐后，你自己看看还能为客人做些什么。比如，要是太闷热了，就去开窗；谁还没咖啡，就端一杯。艾米丽，瞧，你要帮我大忙呢!” 星期二这天，艾米丽发式得体，衣衫合身，按着心理学家的吩咐尽职，忘了自己，只想着助人。她活泼大方，笑容可掬，成了晚会上大家都喜欢的人。散会时，有三个青年说要送她回家。 一星期又一星期，一个月又一个月，这三个青年热烈地追求艾米丽。艾米丽选中了其中一位，让他给自己戴上了订婚戒指。 在婚礼上，有人对这位心理学家说：“你创造了奇迹。”“算不上奇迹。”心理学家说，“这很简单：人不该老想着自己，怜悯自己，也应该想着别人，体恤别人。是谁使她变美的?是她自己。” ...
