27、Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.

Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(叹息声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.

Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination.”

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”

“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊).

One late afternoon, Tina was driving on a highway when a severe snowstorm hit with no sign before. In a short time, the heavy snow, coupled with the strong wind, turned everything into white and made the road extremely dangerous.

Tina later found out that this kind of storm is called a “Saskatchewan screamer”, which comes on extremely fast with high winds. It’s really frightening and deadly to be caught in such extreme weather.

Unable to see the road clearly, Tina had to stop her car and call 911. The operator told her that phone calls for help kept flooding in and all the rescuers had been called out. She suggested that Tina should wait out the storm in her car rather than risk driving on or going out. She took Tina’s information and told her that an officer would call her back. Tina waited anxiously for almost two hours, but nobody called her yet to check in. “The storm showed no sign of stopping. What was worse, it was getting dark. I couldn’t see anything outside the car since the snow had covered all the windows. The wind was still howling and the temperature was getting lower and lower in the car. I had no idea whom I could turn to for help,” Tina later wrote in a Facebook post. “Alone and cold，I began to panic, worrying about getting hit by an oncoming vehicle, getting buried in a snowbank, having my tailpipe blocked by the snow... I was really worried I couldn’t ever make it home to my family."

That was when Tina realized that it was no use waiting passively for help. She decided to do something herself. So she took out her cellphone, logged on to the Google Map and determined her location. She found online a neighborhood Facebook group for the area that she was passing through and shared a comment about her trouble with her location marked on the map. Then all she could do next was sitting in the car, praying someone could make a response to her as early as possible.

Fortunately, Tina’s request reached 80-year-old retired rescuer Frank.

29、In the 1970s, my family acquired Mrs Duck as a pet. Mrs Duck was actually a male duck but the name stuck. He would spend hours “fighting” his own reflection — seen in the mirror or the glasses door. If our dog happened to be wandering past, the duck would attack him. Mrs Duck would ride around the backyard on the dog’s back screaming all the way, biting poor old Dog on the back of the head as he flapped his wings.

Dog was either too frightened, too good-natured or enjoyed the attention because he never beat back. Much to our amusement, Dog would tear around the yard with Mrs Duck lying on his back.

This went on for two years, until a neighbour politely asked if we would like to give Mrs Duck to one of her friends, a farmer. They lived on a large farm and their female duck had been killed when a fox got into the yard. Mum agreed as she understood that Mrs Duck was very frustrated.

A few days later, the beaming farmer was on our doorstep with a huge plate of raw steak asking to speak to our mother. “Mrs Duck had only been in the yard a couple of days when I heard a loud noise,” he told her. “I raced to the duck pen to find he had a fox seriously injured, cornered in the yard against the wire netting, wings flapping and continuously screaming. ” The farmer dispatched the fox with a shotgun and Mrs Duck was an instant hero.

Mrs Duck’s fearlessness in the face of any animal that eats meat had set him apart. From then on we called him Mrs Duck, Fox Hunter.
