24、No charge for love

A farmer had some puppies to sell. He nailed (用钉子) a sign above his door. As he was driving the last nail into the door, he felt a gentle pull at his left trouser leg. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

“Sit,” the boy said. “I want to buy one of your puppies.”

“Well,” said the farmer, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a great deal of money.”

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then he pulled out a handful of coins from his pocket and said, “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”

The farmer smiled and whistled. Out of the doghouse came Little Dolly, who ran down the ramp (坡道) followed by four other little balls of fur. One puppy was lagging very much behind the others. “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing at the limping (瘸着腿走) puppy.

The farmer knelt down beside the boy and said, “No, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run or play with you like the other puppies.” To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his right trouser leg to show a metal brace (支架). Looking up at the farmer, he said, “You see, sir, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands.”

With tears in his eyes, the farmer picked up the little puppy and handed it to the little boy.

“How much do I have to pay?” asked the boy.

“Just take it,” answered the farmer. “There’s no charge for love.”

27、   Every year, there are many people going home by long-distance buses during the Spring Festival and the Tomb-sweeping Day . There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads. Thanks to the efforts of the traffic police, it is said that this year the number of traffic accidents across China was 25.2 percent fewer than the year of 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.

Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. It is an important occasion for Chinese to honor their ancestors（祖先）. Most people go home in memory of（纪念）their ancestors on that day. About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday. A few people also spent the three-day holiday on leisure trains. So transportation safety is a big problem. On the other hand, it is said that Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year’s holiday. For the traffic accidents, some people lost their lives. This year, traffic accidents caused 10 deaths during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day. The fewer traffic accidents are all from the efforts of the police and our government. With the development of society and the government’s efforts, I believe everything will change better.
