    As prices and building costs keep rising，the“do-it-yourself”(DIY) trend in the USA

    continues to grow.

    “We needed furniture for our living room,”says John Ross，“and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it．So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.”John got married six months ago，and like many young people these days，they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high．The Roses took a two-week course for $280 at a night school．Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house．

    Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died．He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe-making factory．Last month，he received a car repair bill for$420．“I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course，I am able to fix the car by myself．”

    John and Jim are not unusual people．In order to save money，most families in the

    country are doing everything they can so that they can fight with the high cost of living. If you want to become a“do-it-yourselfer”，you can go to DIY classes．And for those who don’t have time to take a course，there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself．

    “Please take my penny(便士)，” Maggie said to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets. “Please take it，” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little girl，” he said.

    After that, Maggie went to the beach to collect sea shells. She never thought how fast time went by. Two hours later, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool, and Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! He made a loud noise, and then began to pull her coat gently. “Rover wishes me to leave here, I see，” she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, she found the places she had got down easily was now very difficult to climb up, and because the tide(潮水) had been in for some time, she found some of the stones wet and smooth.

    What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the tide made a much louder noise than she could make. Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the tide could not drown(淹没) it. Finally, Dan heard the loud barking of the dog. He came in a boat and brought Maggie and Rover safely to the land!

    “It was the penny that did it, Madam，” Dan said to Maggie's mother later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kindly into my hand—just as if he would have said, ‘Rover will be your friend now, little girl.’ And I am thinking he has looked after her all day, because he never came near me after that.”
