The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves,there are three small hairs. If a fly touches one of the hairs,the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour,the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then,the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.

Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun,the air,and the ground. In some places,the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all these important things, specially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!

Tom appeared with a bucket(桶)of white paint in one hand and a brush in the other. His Aunt Polly told him to paint the wall around the garden. It was thirty meters long and nine feet high. He felt very sad. Then he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and started to work. Soon Ben came along the road. He was happily eating an apple. He stopped to look at Tom. Tom went on painting and pretended not to see Ben.

"I'm going swimming," said Ben. "Do you want to go swimming, Tom? But I guess you can't. You have to stay and work, don't you?"

"Work?" Tom said. "This isn't work. I'm enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a wall like this everyday?"

Tom kept painting carefully. Sometimes he stopped, stood back to look at the wall like an artist, and then added a bit more paint in just the right place. Ben was watching Tom paint with great interest. He was getting more and more interested in having a try himself. After a while, Ben asked Tom if he would let him paint a little. Tom thought about it, and said, "No, Ben, I can't. Aunt Polly said that I must paint it with great care. "

"Oh, please, Tom," begged Ben. "I can do it. I'll be really careful. Just let me try. I'll give you half of my apple. Well, I'll give you all of it!"

"Well, all right, Ben," said Tom. "You must be very careful. "

He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but happiness in his heart. He sat down under the tree, and started to eat Ben's apple. All day, boys came to make fun of Tom, but they ended up staying to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy was waiting. He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint. Then Johnny offered Tom a toy car, and so on.

By late afternoon Tom had got all kinds of toys, and the wall had got three coats of paint. Later Aunt Polly came to look at the painted wall. She was so happy with Tom's work that she gave Tom a large cake!
