“Rebound!We don’t understand you，sir!”“Well，come and I will tell you a story．”“Is it a true story ”“Yes．Every word is true．”

“It shot（击中）the bird on the head，and she dropped dead!
“I was sorry as soon as I saw her fall．But the deed was done．All day long her mate flew about，and was so sad that he made my heart ache．Why had I taken a life so innocent（无辜的），and hurt the poor mate so deeply
“I said nothing to the old couple about it．But，through a grandchild，they found it out．Though they never said a word to me on the matter，they mourned the bird and buried（埋葬）it．I could never look them in the face afterwards．Oh，I had told them how sorry I was!
“They have been dead many，many years．But don’t you see how that stone rebounded and hit me How deep it made upon my memory! How deep upon my conscience（良知）！Why，my dear boys，how I want to give a great deal today if I could do something for that deed!
“For fifty years I have carried it in my memory．I have never spoken of it before．Yet if what I have now said shall prevent you from throwing a stone that may rebound and deeply hurt your conscience．I shall be very cheerful．”
The boys at once dropped the stones they had in their hands．

There are lots of places of interest to visit in China．Among them is the Palace Museum in Beijing．Kings and queens used to live there./It used to be the home of kings and queens．In Beijing you can also climb the famous Great Wall and taste the delicious food---Beijing duck．If you like shopping, you can go to Wangfujing Street．Moreover, if you like places of natural beauty, you can go to Guilin．There you can enjoy the natural sights/ the beauty of nature and take a boat trip around the Li River．You can also visit Suzhou if you like Chinese gardens．In the gardens, you can take a lot of photos.

I hope you will have a fantastic time here.
