Mr. Smith works in Sydney. Last month he had a fifteen-day holiday, but he didn' t know where to s it. He said to his friend Bill, " I don' t like h weather, but I can' t find a cool place in Australia. "
" That' s easy, " said Bill. " You' d better go to Harbin, China. Snow and ice are covering (覆盖) the ground now. "
Mr. Smith b a plane ticket and soon arrived in Harbin. He had a good t there. But one day he got into trouble (麻烦). After lunch he went to watch a fashion show. On the way, he saw a dog following him while he was walking past a house. The dog was hungry and wished him to give it some food to eat. Bad luck! He had no bread or cake in his pockets. He tried to run away. But it began to bark at (对……吠) him. He could find nothing but snow and ice. Suddenly he saw a stone on the ground. He wanted to p it up but failed (失败).
" How strange (奇怪)! " Mr. Smith said to himself. " People didn' t tie (拴) their dogs, but tied the stones. My God! "
