A young American doctor was asleep when his door bell began to ring. It was late at night,but what could the doctor do? He had to put on his coat. It was a man! He was standing outside with a hat in his hand. "How do you do?" said the man, "Can you come at once to a place out of town? It's quite far but you have a car and I can show you the way." "Certainly," said the doctor, "I can come at once."

Soon the car was at the front door. The man got into the doctor's car and they drove off. They drove for a long time,and then the man said, "Here we are. This is my home. Now I can give you money,and you can go back to the town." "But I must see the patient (病人)，"the doctor said. "How can I go back without seeing the patient?" "There's no patient," said the man. "No one is ill. I live here. There are no taxis at this time of night,but a doctor often goes out for night calls (夜诊).So,excuse me,here's your money. Thank you,doctor. Good night!"

If we find a bird nest,we will have a good place of observing (观察)and knowing about birds.

Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nests,the mothers often leave and come back to the nests during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds,we'd better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest,and it's better to use binoculars.

But how to make a bird nest? It's very easy. If you want to make one,please follow these:

a)  Each nest must have six boards (板).Don't make the boards too slippery (滑的).

b)  Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The door is big enough for a bird to fly in or out easily.

c)  Make sure that the rainwater doesn't go into the nest.

Mr. Ellis is very old. He has seen many⁽¹⁶⁾      in the world. He knows things are different  ,but he often remembers the old days. He likes talking about them.
