Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his free time, he also works hard for more money. Even on Saturday and Sunday, he also works hard as usual. In the street, you can hardly see a man walking slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.

One day, Tim went hiking with his group in the Magaliesberg, South Africa. At first, everything went well. But at about one o' clock in the afternoon, he lost his way and couldn't find any other person. He got scared at first, but then he tried to calm down. He knew what to do in such a situation. "I should follow the river, follow the light, follow the sun and finally there will be buildings, roads and people and I could call home," he told himself.

Tim kept walking. Suddenly he heard some sounds and ran towards them. But to his surprise, he saw some baboons (狒狒). Unluckily, one baboon scratched (抓伤) his arm. He found some water to wash the blood off the scratches and continued to walk. Tim just wore a pair of swimming trunks (游泳裤), so he felt very cold. He tried to keep warm by covering his body with leaves. About 22 hours later, he finally met a farmer and was able to call his mom.

After he came back, his mom asked why he carried on walking when it got dark. The little boy said if he did that, he would see her again. Nothing could beat his love for his mom!

But day after day, the woman became greedy (贪婪的). She said to her daughters, "The swan may fly away one day. If so, we will be poor again. We should take all7 feathers when she comes next time."

"Oh no, Mum!" cried the daughters. "This will8 the swan. She helps us a lot!" But the mother wouldn't listen. When the swan came as usual, the mother caught her and took all her feathers. But suddenly, the golden feathers changed into chicken feathers.

Then, the golden swan said, "Poor mother, I came to9 you, but you wanted to kill me. Now, I am leaving and will10 come back. Never be greedy!" With these words, the swan flew away.
