True or False:

Believe it or not

The first picture is of Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865). He became the 16th president of the United States in 1861, just 14 years after he was first elected to the House of Representatives.

On Friday, April 14, 1865, he and his wife planned to go to see a play at Ford's Theater. His secretary, named Kennedy, advised him not to go, but he went anyway and was shot in the head as he watched the play. He died the next day, and Vice-president Andrew Johnson (1808-1875) became President.

The man who shot Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth, shot him in a theatre. He escaped to a warehouse, but was shot, or killed himself, before being captured.

His secretary, named Lincoln, advised him not to go, but he went anyway, and was shot in the head on Friday, November 22, 1963, as he drove through Dallas in a Ford Lincoln Continental.

I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier (收銀員) hand a little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked towards him and asked him who the doll was for.

“It’s the doll that my sister wanted most for Christmas,” he said. I told him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her and that he shouldn’t worry. He sadly replied, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she joins her.”

His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that

Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.”

My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and suggested that we count the money again. “Okay,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it.
