I asked him how long he had been 6 and he said he had been outside for hours. I asked him if he needed something to 7 and he said yes. So I ran to buy 8 a cup of coffee and called the police. Then I asked him to 9 me in the park so that he could sit down on the benches(长椅).

In fact, his 10 had called the police too. So I told the old man that I was going to 11 with him until his daughter arrived. The old man's eyes became 12 and watery after hearing what I said. We sat on the benches quietly and just enjoyed the 13 sunshine. Then his daughter came. She had tears(眼泪) in her eyes and thanked me for my 14.

I was so happy at that time because I had done the 15 thing. It is truly better to give than to receive.

There is an old saying: Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. It means that we should go to bed early and get up early the next morning. By doing this, we will be in good health. And we'll also be rich and clever.

It's true that our bodies need to have enough sleep to be healthy. Children should have a ten- hour sleep every night. Those who do not have enough sleep can't do their work very well. They will not be clever and they may not get wealthy in the future.

The body needs exercise as well. Walking, running, jumping, riding bikes and playing games are all exercise. Exercise helps to keep the body strong and fit. It also helps the blood(血液) to move around inside the body. The head needs blood too. So exercise helps people think better.

He passed around the stone with some difficulties and continued(继续) on his way. Another man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another.
