Just then Dick shouted, “Wait, fish is biting my line. I can feel it.” Dick was very glad. He forgot the danger. He went to pull the line. The boy fell down into the water. “Help! Help! I can’t swim.” Dick shouted, up and down in the river.
But Kidom could not swim, either. Just then Vick came up. The dog jumped into the water and pulled Dick onto the dry land by biting Dick’s shirt with his teeth. Dick was saved. He was still holding the line in his hand. On its end was a big fish.

Swallows
There are different kinds of swallows. Some swallows make their homes in the sand; others build their nests under the roofs. They make their nests of earth and grass.
It takes them several days to build a nest. They have to work in the early morning. The swallow lays five or six eggs at a time. The mother bird sits on them, and the father bird watches by her side and gives some food to her.
You must not think that when swallows fly over your head, they arent working. No! Life is work to them. The young swallows eat a lot and they are busy catching the insects for them. So they have to work from early morning till late at night. At last the young birds can fly well, but the old ones cant rest. They began to think about their second family, for they have two broods every season.
When the second brood can fly, too, its time to think about going to the warmer countries, and when spring comes, theyll return.

dolphin
Long ago, dogs and horses were tamed to become mans helpers on land. Today some people believe that dolphins may become mans helpers in the sea .
Proof that a dolphin can be trained to assist man appeared in 1965. The U.S. Navy used the services of a seven-foot dolphin, Tuffy.
Tuffy worked with divers at the Navys Man-in-the-Sea station off the coast of California. He acted as messenger to a ten-man team whose underwater home was Sealab II, 205 feet deep.
Wearing a plastic harness, Tuffy carried letters in a waterproof tube. He also carried tools for the undersea workers. Tuffy learned to answer calls for help. Pretending to be lost, an aquanaut would sound a buzzer. Another aquanaut would fasten one end of a line to Tuffys harness .Tuffy would speed to the rescue.
More and more , it seems likely that old tales of dolphins willingness to help man are closer to truth than to fiction .

Health
As regard health, I have nothing useful to say since I have little experience of illness. I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I cannot keep awake. I never do anything whatever on the ground(实际上) that it is good for health, though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome(有益健康的).
