One day the Mullah, an important man in the village, found his donkey was gone when he wanted to go visit a friend. He was very angry and ran around to look for his donkey.
The Mullah ran about looking until he was too tired. He sat down to rest at his gate. A few friends came to join him.
"That no-good lazy donkey!" said he. "If I ever see her again, I'll sell her for a dollar!" Selling a donkey for a dollar was just a joke.
Just then the Mullah heard the sound of his donkey's feet. He looked around. There was his donkey.
On her back rode a boy.
"Where did you find her?" asked the Mullah. "We couldn't find her anywhere."
"I knew where I would go if I were a donkey," said the boy. "I found her eating grass with the sheep and goats."
Suddenly, the Mullah looked to one side and saw one of his friends holding up a dollar. On the other side he saw another with a dollar.
"I'll buy your donkey, " said the two. "I was joking!" said the Mullah.
"You didn't sound as if you were joking, " said the two.
The Mullah couldn't break his word. That would be wrong for an important person in the village. He certainly didn't want to sell his donkey for a dollar. So he said, "Meet me at the donkey fair on Saturday. I shall sell her at that time. I shall sell my donkey to the one who will treat her most kindly."
Everybody was kind to animals in the village. So the Mullah thought out a plan. He wanted to keep his word and also to keep his donkey.
On the night before the donkey fair, the Mullah bought a piece of rope

How to quickly get a paper done last minute
Being late on assignments isn’t something new for students. Busy lives often mean students don't focus on their paper seriously until the deadline is right on their heads. 1. .
Understand the assignment
We tend to ignore work if we don’t fully understand what we need to do , mostly because we just don't have a clue where to start with it. Use the internet and help of friends and classmates to understand everything there is to know and what your teacher will expect from the paper.
Write an outline
2. This outline is the structure you will follow to complete the assignment. Make all headings and sub-headings and then all these headings should be sorted appropriately and according to the format required by the teacher.
Plan milestones with time limit
Divide the entire paper into parts and calculate how much time it will take to finish each part. 3. Putting a time limit on yourself will make you more focused. Make sure you only set realistic goals. Set longer time-lines if you have to, but try to ensure the work is done within that time.
Get away from all distractions(干扰)
Focus is very important to get tasks done and things in our every day life can be distracting. Before you sit down to work, get rid of anything that may catch your attention. For example, keep your phone in a drawer away from view and put it on silent. 4. Unless all your friends and roommates are studying with you, then don't work around them as they could prove distracting too.
5.
An introduction is one of the most important and challenging parts of a paper to write.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (孤独症) is a disability that can cause serious social, communication and behavioral problems. There is often nothing about how people with ASD look that makes them different from other people, but people with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from pretty good to extremely bad. Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less.
People with ASD often have problems with social, emotional, and communication skills. They might repeat certain behaviors and might not want change in their daily activities. Many people with ASD may also have difficulties learning, paying attention, or reacting to things. Signs of ASD begin during early childhood and probably last throughout a person’s life.
Diagnosing(诊断)ASD can be difficult since there is no medical test, like a blood test, to assess the disorders. Doctors look at the child’s behavior and development to make a judgement.ASD can sometimes be diagnosed at 18 months or younger. By age 2, an experienced doctor can be considered very reliable in diagnosing ASD .However, many children may not see a doctor until much older.
There is currently no cure for ASD. However, research shows that early treatment services can improve a child’s development.Early services help children from birth to 3 years old (36 months) learn important skills. Therefore, it is important to talk to your child’s doctor as soon as possible if you think your child has ASD or other developmental problem.
We do not know all of the causes of ASD. However, Most scientists agree that genes are one of the highest risk factors that can make a person more likely to develop ASD.
If you think your child might have ASD or you think there could be a problem with the way your child plays, learns, speaks, or acts, contact your child’s doctor, and share your concerns.If you’re not sure who to contact, call the Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center (ECTA) at 919-962-2001. Or visit the ECTA website: https://etcacenter.org.
