    A giant panda ran away from the zoo in London. He walked and walked and felt1. He walked into a restaurant, where he found a2at an empty table. The waiter took the panda's order.

    After he3his dinner, the panda stood up, calmly pulled out a gun which he had hidden, and fired into the air.4he turned around and walked toward the door.

    Naturally, the waiter was horrified（恐惧的）, but he tried hard to pull himself together and stopped the panda for a (n)5.

    The panda said to him, "What do I look like to6?" The waiter answered, "Well, a giant panda, of course." "That's right," said the panda. "Look it up." And he walked out.

    The waiter called the7. When they arrived, the waiter told them the whole story,8the panda's words "look it up". So the police officer9a young man out to get an encyclopedia（百科全书）.

    The young man returned with the encyclopedia. The officer10the word "panda" and there was the answer, "The giant panda, lives in China, eats bamboo shoots（竹笋）and leaves."

    People usually hate mice, but people almost all over the world like one mouse-the famous Mickey Mouse.

    More than ninety years ago, most films had no sounds. A man called Walt Disney created a cartoon mouse. The cartoon mouse could talk in the films. He named his mouse Mickey Mouse, Soon Mickey Mouse became a good friend of both young and old people. Children liked to see their lovely friend, because he brought happiness to them.

    Mickey is a clean mouse right from the beginning. Maybe this is why people love Mickey Mouse very much. In his early life, Mickey did some wrong things. People were very angry. They wrote to Disney and said they did not want Mickey to do wrong things. Because there were some things that Mickey could not do, Disney created a new animal called Donald Duck. He also created a dog, Pluto. This dog does some foolish and wrong things wherever he goes. Now our Mickey Mouse is more interesting. He is known as a star of beauty and wisdom（智慧）.

    Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）. Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, "Why are you here?" I did not know how to answer the question.

    The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.

    I could not understand what he did at first, so I was very angry. Though I was very angry. I controlled（控制）my anger.

    A teacher broke this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy. "What are you doing right here, right now?" she said. "You will never see your mum again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!" "Sorry," he cried nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher about the child's parents.

    She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.

    I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.

    Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know people love them.

Beijing friends from all over the world.
