In a house far from the city lived John and his mother.John's only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest.In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it.Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breathtaking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school.Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died.Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn't want his mother to worry.His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist.“The profession of artist can't aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say.But as each day passed, John's dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury.John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice.He never gave up drawing.He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft.With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away.He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes.He didn't have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next four days.” He worked up the courage hoping to ask his mother if she could give him some more money so that he could participate in the competition, but finally, considering the family's financial difficulties, he swallowed the words.

Looking at the notes on the desk the next day, John was lost in thought.“Should I use the money for the competition?” he asked himself, balancing his passion for painting against his lunches to be lost.Love for art beating the other, he bought paints and brushes with some of the notes, and dashed to sign up for it, after which he put his heart and soul into finishing painting.After handing it in, he went home, his dancing heart ready to jump from his body.Weeks later, to his great surprise, a call came announcing that he had won the first place and he was invited to give a speech at the award ceremony.
At the award ceremony John was about to speak when he saw his mother. Wild excitement took hold of him, but he calmed down and began his speech, in which he expressed appreciation for the golden opportunity to show his love for painting and share the joy.After a short pause, he said emotionally, “Above all, I should be grateful to the greatest woman in my mind—my beloved e on stage, dear mum!” Then his mother went forward, with thunderous applause and cheers almost shooting through the roof.Excited tears streaming down her cheeks, she hugged her son tightly, saying she had known all and would support his passion with all energy and strength.

Onni always had a great time with his grandad in winter because his grandad would teach him how to ski and they sometimes went for trips in the nearby woods.
When Onni turned ten, his grandad told him he was old enough to go with him into the Finnish wilderness.Therefore, one day, they put on their skis and set off into the forest, travelling for several kilometres while the sky turned dark above them.Eventually, they arrived at a silent and beautiful wooden cabin.Grandad managed to push the door open.Inside, it was icy-cold and smelled damp and musty.
“Now we need a fire!” said grandad.He pointed at the pot-belly stove in the corner.
They collected armfuls of wood and chopped them up.Before long, a fire lighted up the cabin with a golden light! The old man pulled out a pan and began frying some sausages.
Onni stared out of the window.“What animals live out here?” he asked.“Oh, the forest is full of life!” his grandad answered.“I have seen snow hares, stags, bears and snowy owls.There was only one creature we never managed to see.”
“What was that?” asked Onni.He was curious!
“Firefox! They say that during the day his fur is inky-black.But at night, it shines with the most amazing colours! The light of his fur is supposed to brighten up the night sky at midwinter creating the wonderful glow that we call the Northern Lights, which always guide the people lost in forests.”
Grandad sighed.“I always wanted to see this beast! It is said that whoever spots the Firefox would be blessed.” Hearing this, Onni looked out of the window again in the hope of being the lucky one.
Grandad turned the sausages over as they sizzled (发出咝咝声) in the pan.“Why don't you get some more firewood, Onni?” he suggested.Onni ventured out (冒险外出) again.As the boy was gathering more wood, he heard a sound and saw a glow in the trees.

Overcome by curiosity, Onni followed the sound and the light. He ventured into the woods, looking for any sign of the mysterious creature.Suddenly, a creature rushed out from between the trees.It looked like a Firefox! It glanced at him and began zigging across the landscape, as if daring the boy to chase him.Onni began running after the creature.Ahead, he could see where the Firefox was leading him:back to his grandfather's little cabin in the woods!
“Grandad! Come out here!” Onni called.The old man came out and stared at the colours that fell down from above.“The Northern Lights!” he cried with excitement.“Well, my boy, it looks as if the Firefox has blessed us with his magic tonight.” Onni hugged him, and together they gazed in wonder at the strange cold fire burning far above.The boy knew in his heart that he would treasure the memory of this winter for years to come!

Theresa was thin but strong, with blond bangs and tightly pulled-back hair.For a reason unknown to me, she decided that I was worthy of her attention, and every day she walked up to me and kicked me in the back of the legs.Theresa was smart and quick.No teacher ever saw her, and within a week, my legs were bruised (淤青) black and blue.
One day on the playground, as Theresa was about to close in on me again, I escaped away.I glanced over one shoulder and, with relief, didn't see her and thought she had given up.I stopped abruptly and turned around, unaware that Theresa had been running full-speed toward me.She didn't expect my sudden stop and crashed into me and fell to the ground.A group of kids standing nearby laughed.Angry, she got up and began to kick me.I couldn't stand any more.So I made a fist and swung my arm wildly.I caught Theresa in the nose, and she was bleeding.I didn't know which of us was more surprised.Then we made a big fight.Consequently, we were taken to the principal's office.He said we should be punished and then filled a form.I stared at his desk and realized that I could read the form upside down.It reads, “Labor punishment for one week.”
Theresa leaned toward me and whispered, “I guess we should get a two-week labor punishment.” I shook my head and said, “No, one week.I can read the form upside down.” Both of us were surprised that we should talk with each other.

We were arranged to take care of the flowers and plants in the school garden together. At first, it felt awkward, like being forced to collaborate with your enemy.But as we started working side by side, something unexpected happened.We began to talk, tentatively at first, but then more freely.As we watered the plants and pulled out weeds, we shared stories about our families, our hobbies, and our struggles.It turned out we both loved to read mystery novels and were fascinated by space.Theresa confided in me about her parents' recent divorce and I shared my own insecurities about fitting in at school.
I was surprised that Theresa and I have so many things in common. Despite our rocky start, we found solace in each other's company and a shared understanding that transcended the petty grievances of the past.As we laughed over inside jokes and shared secrets, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn of events that had brought us together.Perhaps, in the end, it was the flowers in the school garden that taught us the true meaning of forgiveness and friendship.After this incident, I also learned to get along with other students, and also continue to integrate into the whole class.

Michael saw the trouble coming.There standing in the hallway was Frank, the boy who enjoyed making fun of anyone at any given moment.Frank was tall and strong, so few of his victims stood up to him.Michael hated the idea that Frank always got away with his wrongdoing.Yet like most kids who were picked on, he just took it quietly and waited for the unpleasant to pass.
Frank walked up, his eyes locked on the books in Michael's arms.When they met, Frank stopped unexpectedly, “Hey, let me see those books!” Some students watched as Michael held out the books he was carrying, trying not to give away his nervousness.
Frank took a book, looked inside for a second, and then threw the book at Michael, who dropped all the other books.“Hey, those are school property,” Frank barked, “Be careful!” Then he walked away, laughing loudly.
Michael, his cheeks turning red, half kicked the fallen books.Suddenly a hand picked up one book.“You look like you could use an ally (盟友),” a friendly voice said.It was Ramon, the most athletic boy in the high school.Michael couldn't believe Ramon was stopping to help him as they barely spoke.
“Thanks,” Michael sighed with relief.“It's confusing.I don't know what his problems is.”
“Well, as I see it,” Ramon said, “you need to find a way to end this.” Michael nodded, stuck for what to say.Ramon continued, “You know my grandmother used to tell me whenever I had a problem with someone,‘You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (醋).’”
Looking puzzled, Michael asked, “What does that mean?”
“It means kindness may be more effective than anger,” Ramon explained.
“Can you just tell Frank to stop picking on me?” Michael suggested.
“That's vinegar,” Ramon laughed as he walked away.“Try honey instead.”
Ramon's words left Michael thinking.
The next school day brought Michael's usual pain.There stood Frank, and Michael knew it would be just seconds before he had to face him in the middle of the hall.Frank came nearer.

Michael bent down and quickly picked up Frank's books on the floor.Offering them to him, Michael said with a smile, “You look like you could use an ally.” Now, it was Frank's turn to be numbed there with burning cheeks.He quickly took his books, muttered in a low voice, “Uh, thanks” and fled the scene.Out of the corner of his eye, Michael caught Ramon approaching with a knowing smile and a thumbs-up.“My grandma would be proud of you,” Ramon remarked.“Well, I guess that's just honey,” Michael grinned.“And I hope it sticks.”

I was thinking about the biggest change that I was going to face in a few days.It was a difficult pill to swallow, but I knew I must move on.Though it wasn't easy at first, I was trying my level best to beat the mental pain I was in.
After hearing the news, every day felt like a struggle.The school didn't feel the same; the lunch breaks had no purpose.Soon there would be no one to compare the test marks with, homework remarks would not excite me like before, and so on.I couldn't help but feel lost and alone already.
For a few days, I even felt less confident while rehearsing (排练) for my performance at the upcoming school's annual event.But what I learned at this point in life was that your family can be the strongest support when you don't even realize it.Turn to your family for support if necessary.Reach out to people who care about you.Find meaningful connections and share how you feel.
