Wednesday Sunny

Today we had PE, so the first thing I did when I got outside was sneak off (偷偷摸摸) to the basketball court to see if the Cheese was still there. And sure enough, it was.

Then one day, this kid named Darren Walsh touched the Cheese with his ______, and that's ______ started this thing called the Cheese Touch. It's basically like the Cooties. If you get the Cheese Touch, it ______ with you until you pass it on to someone else.

A boy was one day sitting on the steps of a door. He had a broom in one hand, and in the other a large piece of bread and butter, which somebody had kindly given him. While he was eating it, and happily singing a song, he saw a poor little dog quietly sleeping not far from him. He called out to him, "Come here, poor fellow!"

The dog, hearing himself kindly spoken to, rose, pricked up his ears, and wagged his tail. Seeing the boy eating, he came near him. The boy held out to him a piece of bread and butter. As the dog stretched out (伸出) his head to take it, the boy quickly drew back his hand and hit him a hard rap on the nose. The poor dog ran away, howling (嚎叫) dreadfully, while the boy sat laughing at what he had done.

A gentleman, who was looking from a window on the other side of the street, saw what the boy had done. Opening the street door, he called him to cross over. At the same time, he held up a sixpence between his finger and thumb.

"Would you like this?"

"Yes, if you please, sir, "said the boy, smiling, and he quickly ran over to seize the money.

Just at the moment that he stretched out his hand, he got so hard a rap on his hand, from a stick which the gentleman had behind him, that he roared (咆哮) out like a bull!

"What did you do that for?" said the boy, making a very long face, and rubbing his hand. "I didn't hurt you, nor ask you for a sixpence."
