The Brave Little Fox
On a stormy night, a young fox named Rusty trembled (颤抖) in his room. Rain poured heavily outside, and the wind blew like wild wolves. His mother, who usually comforted (安慰) him, hadn't returned from hunting. Hours passed, and Rusty's worry grew into fear. He knew his mother wouldn't give him up unless something was wrong.
Mustering courage, Rusty stepped into the storm. The muddy (脏的) forest paths (小径) felt unfamiliar, but he recalled his mother's lessons—follow the smell. Sniffing (闻) carefully, he discovered weak footprints leading toward the human area, a place his mother always warned him to avoid.
Near a farm, he found his mother trapped (陷入) in a fallen hunter's net! She was exhausted (精疲力尽的) and bleeding. Seeing her, Rusty froze. Mother's sharp teeth could not break the thick ropes. Suddenly, Rusty noticed a sharp metal tool beside a tree stump (树桩). Using all his strength, he pulled the tool to his mother. Guided by her encouraging growls, Rusty pushed the sharp edge against the net until it opened.
Mother nuzzled (用鼻子触碰) Rusty proudly. That night, the little fox learned that true bravery isn't the absence of fear—it's facing it to protect those you love.

This morning, Wang Ping was in a hurry to the railway station because his friend was waiting for him there. Unluckily, he got stuck in a traffic jam (交通阻塞).

At a turn, he saw a young man trying hard to restart his car. It was clear that the car had broken down for some reason. Everyone there was just staring at the man without offering any help. Many of them were even blaming (责备) the man for the traffic jam. The number of cars stuck in traffic was growing, and the man looked very embarrassed.
Seeing this, Wang Ping quickly went to help the man. Four other drivers followed him. Together, they pushed the car, and soon it started again with a loud noise. The young man smiled with relief. He thanked the people who helped him and said sorry to everyone before driving away.

When others make mistakes, we often blame them, but when we make mistakes, we want others to understand and help us.
