The barks of dogs surrounded (圍繞) me as I walked into the animal shelter. They ran around their cages jumping up and down. My heart became soft when I saw these poor animals. I entered the building and saw more unwanted animals. A white rabbit jumped around in its cage. I walked around the cages,saying "oh" and "ah" to every animal,as they looked out of their cages,waiting for love and help. A little dog particularly attracted me. She was as gentle as a baby. I slightly touched her head as she sat on the floor. She licked (鉻) my hand with appreciation. I could feel that she longed for an owner who would take good care of her.

Another small group of little animals were in the cage in the corner. They stayed together to keep warm. One of them let out a weak sound,as if it was calling to its mother. Recognizing my love and willingness (樂意) to help these little animals,the director suggested I give them a bath. I lifted one of them,Yukie,from his brothers and sisters. His black fur was as soft as cotton candy. I held him carefully in my hands. The sweet smell of soap surrounded the wash area. The little dog looked like a tiny fish,swimming happily in a pool. Water dropped down his black soft ears as he tried to shake off the heavy water. I covered Yukie with a towel so he wouldn't get a cold. After all the cleaning and drying,he looked as if he came from an expensive pet shop. I kissed his little face as I unwillingly placed him back.

Next,I walked some dogs around the building. When I opened the cages,they jumped out quickly,unable to hold back their urge for exercise. I ran around with them,touched them gently and talked to them.

It was time to leave. I quietly said to these poor animals that I would come again and look after them with love. The sad eyes and the faces of these lovely animals made quite an impression on me.

Tom was getting cold sitting out in his backyard in the snow. He had already been in his backyard for about an hour. He could not come up with an idea for his mother's Christmas gift. He shook (搖) his head as he thought, "This is useless. Even if I do come up with an idea,I don't have any money to spend."

His mother worked nights at the hospital,but the small payment (報(bào)酬) never seem to be enough. Tom had three sisters. They also took good care of him when his mother was not at home.

Tom walked from shop to shop. Suddenly,he found a dime (—角硬幣) on the ground. He felt so excited. He hurried into the shop but the salesperson told him he could not buy anything with only a dime. He saw a flower shop and went in. When the shop owner asked if he could help him,Tom showed his dime and asked if he could buy one flower as his mother's Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Tom and his ten cents. Then he said to him, "Just wait here."

Tom waited until the sound of the door closing pulled Tom back to reality (現(xiàn)實(shí)) . Suddenly the shop owner came to the counter. There,lay twelve lilies (百合花) tied together. "That will be ten cents,young man , ”the shop owner said,reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly,Tom gave the man his dime. Could this be true? The shop owner added, "I happened to have some lilies on sale for ten cents a dozen. Would you like them?"

This time Tom did not hesitate (猶豫) ，and when the man placed the long box into his hands,he knew it was true. Walking out of the door,he heard the shop owner say, "Merry Christmas,son."
