One Sunday evening, it was quite dark when old Stanley went for his walk. He was walking along the sidewalk, Suddenly, he saw a white car coming around the corner at high speed. It was going too fast and crashed into a red car in the street where he was walking. He rushed up to the cars to see if anyone was hurt and needed help.
The two drivers were arguing.
“You came around the corner too fast,” one man said.
“No!” said the driver of the white car, “That’s not true! Your car was parked in a wrong place.”
Stanley listened to their argument and then said the white car driver was wrong to drive too fast. The driver of red car asked Stanley to prove he was right in court(法庭). Stanley gave the driver his name and telephone number.
Next Thursday morning, Stanley was asked to go to the court. The lawyer(律师) for the driver of the white car asked him a lot of questions about what he had seen. Then he asked Stanley how old he was.
“I’m eighty-two,” answered Stanley.
“Do you usually wear glasses ?” asked the lawyer.
“Yes, I do,” answered Stanley.
“Were you wearing them on the night of the accident?” the lawyer asked.
“No,” replied Stanley.
Then the lawyer said, “Why should the court believe you? You are eighty-two years old, you were not wearing your glasses, and it was dark. How far can you see in the dark?”
Stanley thought about it for a minute. “Well,” he said, “when it’s dark, I can see the moon. How far is that?”

I still remember my kindergarten(幼儿园)teacher, Mrs, White. She looked just like Snow White, she had the same bright eyes and short dark hair.
We used to a lot . And I would show what I wrote to Mrs. White for correction(批改). She would look at my writing and see many mistakes in it. But she made any red correction and she always gave a star. I was feeling of my writing each time I got a star. But it my mother. So one day, when she met Mrs. White at a parent-teacher meeting. Mum asked her why she never corrected my and why she never said no to her child.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get about using words. Spelling and grammar can wait. We can’t that interest with a red pen.”As it was a long time ago, my mother could only remember the main idea of Mrs. White said about my writing. However, I grew up learning to use words with loving care and like that.
If Mrs. White had used her red pen more often, I wouldn’t be telling you about this now, Whenever I look back on those encouraging from Mrs.White, I feel they just look real ones in the night sky-bright, shiny, and guiding me on my way somewhere. I do believe she was such a teacher, who tried to use a red pen less to keep the joy, wonder and excitement in a child’s .
Thanks to Mrs. White, I have no fear about writing. Also, I’m not afraid of any mistake in my life!
