Where is Love? How can we find Love?
Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.
They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.” At the same time, the old woman’s son was also surprised at his mother’s pleasure and asked why.
“I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger than I expected.”
If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.

Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.
"If there were an accident. " He says, ‘they’d know soon enough. Bad news travels fast. "
But Linda has promised that she would ring. "However," she says, "‘it doesn’t cost much when you just think that it‘s the other side of the world. It’s only six pence per second (每秒六便士)。"
"If you‘re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat,‘ David says, "And one minute’s nearly four pounds. "
"That‘s no more than you’d pay for a new hat," ‘’Linda answers.
She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.
"Hello, Mum. Is that you ?" She says.
"Six pence per second," David reminds(提醒) her.
“Hello, love. " It is Mrs Lee, Linda’s mother, speaking from London. "I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room. It‘s a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn’t hear me sometimes. "
"Yes, Mum. "Linda puts in. . "I just wanted to ring to ……. "

"Yes, all right, "says Mrs Lee," But you will write, won‘t you, as you did when you were at work …"
Once again, Mrs Lee talks about the pass. and there is no stopping her.
"Four pounds fifty, ’says David.
At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
