About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn't want to carry much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe (保险箱) for me.

The next morning, however, the clerk said that he knew nothing about the money. I did not have any proof (证据) I had given the man the money. There was clearly nothing left to do but go to the nearest lawyer.

The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. So we did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness (目击者) to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.

Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer's plan into action (付诸行动). This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to ask for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had given it to me, I said it was not true. The lawyer said to him, "I saw this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill. If you don't hand it in at once, I will be forced to call the policeman." The clerk realized he had been cheated, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.

"I don't know how to thank you enough for getting my money back," I said to the lawyer. And what do you suppose he answered? He said, "Oh, don't thank me. That will be one hundred dollars, please."

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first words? If you can, you are unusual. Try to think what the first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.

Then you began to try to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.

On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language.

After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant action such as go and swim. And other words describe things such as good or dirty. Soon you learnt to put words together to express one's idea, such as" I want to go out and play with my friends." This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication.
