When Jack Buzzi looked out the window of his parents' home during the worst of the storm, he saw something terrible: his neighbor's house was floating on the water. Part of the top floor had broken off, and the rest of the house was shaking. At the same time, Buzzi was on the phone with his friend Jack Ward, whose sister Kathey Ward, 60, owned the house. The men feared that she was in danger.
Buzzi hung up the phone, put on boots and a raincoat, took two life jackets and went outside. Then he waded (跋涉) through deep water toward Kathey's house. He yelled at Kathey, but she didn't respond.

“I knew you would come so I didn't worry,” Kathey said. She'd been sitting in the only room of the house that didn't break off. Buzzi gave her a life jacket and guided her through the water to his house.

There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn't sure whether or not his schoolmates were his real friends, so he asked his grandpa for help. The old man told him, “I just have what you exactly need, and it's in the attic (阁楼).Wait here a minute.” Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It's a very special chair. It's rather tricky to sit on because it's invisible (无形的),but if you take it to school and you try to sit on it. you'll be able to tell who your real friends are.” Grandpa said.
Mario was curious to know whether it was true or not, so he took the strange invisible chair and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move! You're about to see something amazing.”
Then Mario tried to sit on the chair. But he missed and fell down onto his back. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn't be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground…until, suddenly, he tried again and didn't fall. This time he sat, hovering(悬浮) in mid-air…
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana—three of his best friends, holding him up, so he wouldn't fall down. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but make fun of him, enjoying his every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them how his grandfather had so cleverly thought of a way to show him that true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance(熟人) who happens to be passing by. Even less would a friend be someone who takes joy in our misfortunes.
