One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water（小便）.She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared.
Her mother said, "Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage!"
"What’s courage?" she asked, running to her mother’s bed.
"Courage is the brave breath," her mother answered.
"Mum, do you have courage?"
"Certainly."
The girl held out her little hands, saying, "Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me."
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists（握拳） nervously, afraid that the "breath of courage" would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself ,"It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel frightened or lost."

Playing is a serious business for children. In fact, it’s what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will probably say, "Because it’s fun!" But it’s much more than that. It’s also good for them.
Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through playing. They use their five senses to get to know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight.
When small children choose which toy to play with, they begin developing their abilities in making decisions. Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech (高科技) toy. That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.
Crayons, paints and Ply-Doha（彩色塑泥） are also good because they allow children to create. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.
Playing doesn’t become any less important once children start school. ? . Kids learn how to share, take turns and play by the rules（规则）．

Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.
"I’II be the first millionaire in Coleford!" Richard used to say.
"And you’ll be sorry you know me," George would reply "because I’II be the best lawyer in the town!"
George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money, Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.
Then Richard married a mysterious (神秘的) girl. The husband and wife spent their honeymoon on the coast - but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a beach but the body was never found. He must have died.
Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his small, old kitchen and looked out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival (以前的竞争对手) . Perhaps he missed him?
George was very interested in old dictionaries. He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition（版本）. When the book arrived, it was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George looked at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped（包裹） in. He was surprised - the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Shaking, George started reading.
"Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by
multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia. "
