I saved the grain carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.

Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away. they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time. I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.

With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots- one for rice and one for wheat.

Next I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.

Soon after that. I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.

I tried to turn over the ship's boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.

When it was time to launch, I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of constant labor.

I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.

When it comes to shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me ,if it zips(拉上），it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.

When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size make it impossible. When mom told me something didn't suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.

To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged(订婚）last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse, my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming. “You need a bigger size, “she said."

There was no bigger size, I tried to hold back my tears. Maybe I could buy it alone, of course,but my mom is my favorite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me.

And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom's eyes. “You look beautiful!" she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.

This one didn't zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn't say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, all the arguments in the past ended. We didn't buy a dress that day. We decided to see more.

Bananas are the perfect snack.Not only are they sweet and delicious,but they are easy to carry around, so you can take them anywhere.Best of all,bananas provide different things that the human body needed.

Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain.They grow on plants that look like trees.The banana plant,however,is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesn't have a strong ,woody stem.The plants can grow as high as 30 feet.When they reach their full height,flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.

Two or three times each year,the plants produce fruit.The bananas grow together,which seem like hands.A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas.Growers sometimes call bananas fingers.Each bunch(丛)of bananas has about 15 hands,and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.

After about three months,the bananas are ready to be picked.At this point,they still aren't the sunny yellow colour of bananas.Farmers pick them when they're green.That's how they're shipped to stores.They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.

If you love bananas,you've got a lot of company.Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876.Today,Americans eat more bananas than any fruit.More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together.Every American eats over 26 pounds of bananas each year!
