Here are the lyrics of a song.

Don’t Ask Him Why

by Tim Blair

He was afraid.
He was knocked on the head.
He was too little to know why Mom and Dad didn’t like him.
He was only five when he was sent to the hospital.

So don’t ask him why he did not cry for help
He was too little to answer the question.
He was too young to know he could ask for help.

Sometimes things go wrong in this world.
Still there must be something we can do
Something to give him hope and love.

So let’s do it. Do it. Do it.
Give him your hand.
Give him your love.
Only you and I can help him.

So don’t ask him why.
Never ever ask him why.

My Uncle Jim does not talk much. He is always painting when be is at home. He paints after work and on weekends. Painting is his best friend and his life.

Uncle Jim does not paint for money; he has never sold any of his pictures. There are no people in his pictures. He only draws trees and mountains, but they are not like the ones we see in the real world. They have strange shapes and colors. I do not quite understand Uncle Jim's pictures, and he never tells us what he is trying to say with them. But I still like them a lot. To me, Uncle Jim has created a different but interesting world.

Joey: Lynn, have you tried Caldron? I’ve heard that restaurant is good.

Lynn: I have. I went there once for Tom’s party.

Joey: And?

Lynn: Well, I never thought I would have to cook for myself when eating out.

Joey: But it’s fun to cook your own food.

Lynn: I don’t see any fun in that. Besides, I want nice food.

Joey: So you didn’t like the food there?

Lynn: Everything tasted the same. I mean, they were all cooked in the same boiling pot. How could they taste different? I just kept throwing strange things into the pot. I didn’t even know what half the things were made of.

Joey: Don’t worry. Everything should be safe to eat after a hot bath in the pot. And you didn’t get sick after that, right? Besides, you tried something different there. Still a good experience, I think?

Lynn: I don’t think we share the same idea of good experiences.

On Teachers’ Day, we thank our teachers for their hard work. We also celebrate this day to remember Confucius, the great Chinese teacher from 2,500 years ago. Well, that’s everything we’re taught about Teachers’ Day. But, the first Teachers’ Day was not on Confucius’s birthday, and it was not about thanking our teachers.

In 1930, Mr. Tai Shuang-qiu and other teachers celebrated the first Teachers’ Day in Nanjing. But there was nothing to celebrate. Teachers were paid very little and not respected. These teachers took this chance to shout out their problems. They had Teachers’ Day on June 6 because the date was easy to remember and near the end of the school year. This action by Mr. Tai and the other teachers was welcomed and followed by teachers from other cities. In 1939, the government made Teachers’ Day a national holiday. However, it was on August 27, the day when Confucius’s birthday was celebrated. Not everyone hailed this decision: Teachers’ Day was never about Confucius, and Confucius couldn’t speak for all the teachers either.

One funny thing was that the government was wrong about the date of Confucius’s birthday. In 1952, people found out he was in fact born on September 28. That was when we started to celebrate Teachers’ Day on Confucius’s real birthday
