Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. "It must be Bob, "John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) .
"I'm looking for a few days' work, "the carpenter said.
"I do have a job for you, "John said. "Look across the stream at that farm. That's my neighbour Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbour. "
The carpenter said, "I think I know what to do, sir, and I can do a job to your satisfaction. "
Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off.
About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出) . "Hi, John! You're quite a fellow to build this bridge!"
Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. "I'm really sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other, "said Farmer Bob.

The 74-year-old man has sold ice creams for the past 17 years in Singapore.

This year, Uncle Jimmyplans to give away 800 ice cream. "People quite stressed recently and I want to help. " he said. "Sharing has made me feel happy the past four years. "

Last weekend, I read an article online about 68-year-old boy. He didn't want to go to school, so his mother made him (go) out into the street and collect waste in order to make some money. It reminded(提醒)me of one of my unforgettable experience.
Last summer, I didn't want to go to school any more. That is because I was unhappy with my poor exam scores. I (find) a part-time job during my summer vacation. The manager just asked me to deliver newspapers.
At the beginning, I thought that it would be a piece of cake. However, my surprise, when I went to people's houses, they started to look me up and down. I could feel that they looked down on me. I was (deep) hurt and felt sad. At that time, I realized that delivering newspapers was much more difficult than reading a book in a classroom.
From this experience, I have learned that if we put our heart into what we are doing, nothing is impossible.
