He loved the fourth wife the most. He took good care of her and gave her the most beautiful clothes to wear. He also loved the third wife very much. He was very proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, the businessman was always in great fear that she might ran away with some other men. He too, loved his second wife. She was a very kind person. She always helped him on business.

The businessman’s first wife had done a lot for him, not only helping him with his business but also taking care of the housework. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly noticed her.

One day, the businessman fell ill and he was going to die soon. He thought of his wonderful life and told himself. “Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I’ll be alone. How lonely I’ll be!” So, he asked his four wives, “Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”

“No way!” replied the fourth wife and she turned away without another word.

“No!” replied the third wife. “Life is so good over here! I’m going to remarry when you die!” “I’m sorry. I can’t help you out this time!” replied the second wife. “At the very most, I can only send you to your grave(坟墓).”

Then a voice called out, “I’ll leave with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go.” The businessman looked up and that was his first wife. The businessman was ashamed and moved “I should have taken much better care of you.”

The balalaika, also called the "Russian guitar", is a traditional Russian musical instrument (乐器). It has a long neck, a wooden triangle-shaped body and strings（弦）. It is usually used to play Russian music by plucking the strings with fingers or a pick.

Russians like the balalaika. The music played with it can be cheerful, as if the farmers were dancing happily to celebrate their harvest. It can also be energetic, as if the workers were working hard to make their country richer and stronger. If a Russian moves to live or work abroad, he will probably take a balalaika with him. When he feels lonely and sad, he will play it to cheer himself up.

At first the balalaika was played by the poor in Russia. At that time, balalaikas were made by the players themselves. They were rough（粗糙的）,  simple and cheap with different numbers of strings, from two to even six. Later a Russian musician Vasily Vasil'yevich Andreev （1861-1918） improved the balalaika. He created a whole family of balalaikas of different sizes, all with three strings. The smallest balalaika is called Prima. It is 60-70 cm long. The biggest, Contrabass, is almost 2 metres high with a leg to sit on the floor. Andreev founded the first balalaika orchestra（管弦乐队）in the world, mainly using balalaikas to perform. He gave concerts at the Universal Exposition（博览会） in Paris in 1889, which was a great success.

Today, there are balalaika groups performing around the world. More and more people get to know the balalaika and are attracted by its Russian style music.

26、Every Sunday morning I take a walk around a park near my home. There’s a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage（笼子）beside her.

This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles（乌龟）, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully wiping with a brush, which made me feel surprised.

“Hello, ” I said. “If you don’t mind my nosiness, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.”

“I’m cleaning off their shells,” she replied.

“Anything on a turtle’s shell weakens the turtle’s ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time.”

She went on, “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own strange way of making a difference.”

“Well then, don’t you think your time could be better spent? And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference? ”

The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae（海藻）, and said, “Sweetie, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world.”
