      One day a Chinese student went to study English in England. His family name is Sun. It is the same as the
word " sun ". England is a country with bad weather. It is often cloudy or misty, and it rains now and again. So
the people there don't get much sunshine in the whole year. When the Chinese student went to London, a tall
English policeman with a large face opened his passport to examine (检查) it. The policeman was interested
in finding the Chinese name " Sun " in the passport. He thought it was pronounced just like the English word
" sun ", so he said to the Chinese student, " I see your name is sun. You are wanted here."
      The Chinese student was greatly surprised. But after a moment the policeman began to smile, " Mr. Sun,
you've brought sunshine to England! So we don't want you to go away."

      Long long ago, there was a little cat. On a sunny morning, the cat rode a bike to the park. On his way to the
park, he met a big fat dog. He was very afraid (害怕) of the dog. So he rode his bike away. However, his bike
broke. He had to take a bus home. When he got home, he was very hungry. He ate some noodles (面条) and
drank a cup of milk. He broke the cup just after drinking the milk. So, he had to clean the floor. When he was
cleaning the floor, his grandma came.
      He was very happy to see his grandma. His grandma cooked him a very delicious dinner. After dinner, they
took a long walk in the park. They saw a snake there and ran away at once. When they went back home, they
were very tired (疲倦的).

      A dove is a bird. You may have seen doves. Some doves are white and some are grey. They like corn.
They don't like meat. A dove likes to live in a bird-house. Many people like doves. They make a home for their
doves near a window. Doves fly out of their houses in the day. They come back home in the evening. Doves
can fly long hours. So sometimes people take them far away. They tie a letter to the dove's leg. Then the dove
can take the letter home. How interesting! Do you like doves now?

Dear Peter,
      Thank you for your letter and some wonderful stamps. I like them very much. I also collect stamps. I'm
sending some Monkey King stamps to you. I think you'll like them. Now I'm going to answer some of your
