They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. Theyre both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.One day Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples have already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price. They felt unhappy and returned to their village.“I cant understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)“ Uncle Li asked one day. “The tractor was too small.“ Uncle Wang said without thinking. “Well carry more apples on a truck next time!“I agree!“ said Uncle Li. “How foolish we were!“1.

Now, you may not buy alcohol (酒) in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you. Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please dont make unnecessary noise，particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet. Thirdly，crossing the road. Be careful！The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings (人行横道 ) and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about throwing away rubbish. It is an offence (违法行为 ) to drop rubbish in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a dustbin.

Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness doesnt mean money. It is a feeling of your hear
