    Every boywants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huckabout his idea.

   "Where can we look for treasure?" asked Huck.

    "It'shidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted (闹鬼的) houses."

    So, oneSaturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the hauntedhouse on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boysfeel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There werecobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw theirtools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They werejust about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.

    "Whatis it?" whispered Huck, going white with fright.

    "Keepquiet! There's someone downstairs."

    The boyslay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two mendownstairs. One was an old Spaniard (西班牙人) in a wide sombrero hat (墨西哥阔边帽) and theother was dirty and unpleasant-looking.

    Tom andHuck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found itwas Indian Joe.Hesaid:

    "It'stime for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery (抢劫)?"

   "Let's keep $30 each and leave the bag here."

    The dirtyman went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full ofmoney and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when theysaw there was real treasure downstairs.

    ThenIndian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.

    "Whatis it?" asked the other man.

    "It'sa box," said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handfulof gold coins. The other man found the boys' tools, and they soon pulled outthe box.

   "There's thousands of dollars," said Indian Joe.

    "TheMurrell Gang used this area one summer," said his partner.

    "Theymust have hidden their money here."

    "Whatwill we do with this, Joe? Will we bury (埋) it again?"

    "No,someone might find it," said Indian Joe. "Let's bury it in the numbertwo den (穴)."

    Tom andHuck got up as soon as the two men left. They decided to watch out for the"man in the sombrero" when he came to town and find out where thenumber two den was.

Those animals come from othercountries, especially China, Thailand, South Africa and so on. More common petsinclude fish, mice and birds. However, their favourites are cats and dogs. Theysometimes have strong feelings about whether dogs or cats make better pets."Dog people" and "cat people" often have friendly argumentsabout that.

    People canget many benefits from pets. Pets stay with people, make people happy and helppeople get rid of loneliness. Therefore, most of Americans like pets. Theythink pets should be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare (福利) organizations have been set upin America. They provide care and good services for homeless animals.

    The firstChinese actor captured (征服)the hearts of many Chinese in the USA. He read a letter by Zhuge Liang (181～234) to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms (220~280)period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon (《虎啸龙吟》).

    The letterhas been read by so many students. We would never have thought that the textwritten in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language. As aresult, foreigners begin to show interest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms,translated by C. H. Brewitt-Taylor and Robert E. Hegel.

    Earlier inNovember 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV programme calledMonkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, thestory of the Monkey King isn't new to Chinese children in the traditionalChinese book Journey to the West.

    As soon asthe TV programme came out more than 30 years ago, western children becameinterested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fightingto help the weak and never gives up.

    Chinesescholars (学者) should do abetter job of introducing Chinese literature (文学) tothe rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage western schools totry something different.

    Readinginternational literature is aneffectiveway of understanding otherpeoples in the world. And the more we understand each other, the more beautifulthe world will be.
