My Favorite Sweater
By Bonnie Highsmith Taylor
My favorite sweater grew too small. I love that sweater best of all. My grandma made it when I was three. She made that sweater just for me.
I picked the yarn (纱线), a special blue. The color of bluebells (蓝色风铃花), wet with dew (露珠). When I was three I was very small. But now I’m five and much too tall.
I have a new jacket now that’s green. So I gave my sweater to our cat Queen. Queen just gave birth to kittens in the shed (小屋). My favorite sweater is now their bed.

The next day, the coach saw a boy eating Tom’s biscuits behind a tree. He an idea to solve (解决) the problem. He found Tom and said to him, “I know who your biscuits. Will you help me to teach him a lesson?”
“Well, yes…are you going to punish , sir?” Tom asked. “No, I am not,” the coach explained . “That would only make him hate you. I want you to write to your mother and ask for more .”
Tom received another box of biscuits by mail from his mother a few days later. “Now,” said the coach, “go and them with the boy who stole your biscuits.” Tom didn’t understand the coach’s intention (意图), he still followed his advice.
Half an hour later the coach saw the two boys come up the hill, arm in arm. The boy was trying to ask Tom to his toy robot in payment (赔偿) for the stolen biscuits. And Tom was refusing the gift from his new friend. He said that a few biscuits were not so .
