Richard is the unluckiest boy in the world. He hardly ever falls ill (生病).but if he falls ill, it is on the weekend. He is a good student,but when he takes a test, his pen breaks. His bird sings very well, but when he asks his friends to listen to it, the bird be­comes silent (沉默的）.

But Richard thinks he is the luckiest boy in the world. He has wonderful parents and a lovely sister. He has a singing bird. His classmates are friendly. Richard is always happy and he is kind.

One day his mother gave him some money to buy an ice-cream. When he arrived at the ice-cream shop, he saw an old man outside it. He had old clothes, terri­ble glasses,and he looked hungry. Richard thought he was poor. He decided not to buy the ice-cream and gave the money to the man.

"Thank you. You are a kind boy. But I'm not poor. Keep your money. I'm the richest (最富有的) man in town and I sometimes wear old clothes to see what people do," the man said and gave the money back.

The man took Richard to the biggest shop in town and said, "Choose anything you like. I can buy you the most expensive one. "Richard asked, "Can I choose two?" "Of course," answered the man.

Richard chose the newest radio because when his bird keeps silent, he can at least listen to it with his friends. He then chose a new pair of glasses for the man

The Boy Made It!

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.

The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
