Last Summer Holiday
Mrs. Brown had a young cat, and it was the cat’s first winter. One evening it was outside when it began to snow heavily. Mrs. Brown looked around everywhere and shouted its name, but she did not find it, so she telephoned the police and said, “I have lost a small black cat. Has anybody found one?”
“No, madam,” said the policeman at the other end, “But cats are really very strong animals. They sometimes live for days in the snow, and when it melts (融化) and somebody finds them, they are quite well.”
Mrs. Brown was happy to hear the words. She said, “Our cat is very clever. She can even talk.”
The policeman was getting rather tired. “Well then,” he said, “Why don’t you put your telephone down? Maybe she is trying to telephone you now.”

Our feelings are always changing. Sometimes we’re happy. Sometimes we’re sad. Sometimes we’re excited. Sometimes we’re worried. When we get a nice gift, we may feel happy or even excited. But when we lose it, we may feel upset. People have different feelings on one thing. For some people, they may feel sad when a game is over, but for some people, they may feel happy. People show their feelings differently. For some people, we can see their feelings from their faces or eyes, or by the tone of their voice. But for other people, we can’t find their real feelings easily. Everyone has good days and bad days. Sometimes it is helpful to share our feelings with others. Talking to other people about our feelings can help us relax and feel better.
