raised her voice and said to her husband, "With all your money, you
give me a dictionary " After that, she left him.
Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business.
She owned two large companies. She realized her husband was very old,
so she thought perhaps she should go to visit him. But before she could,
she received a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his
possessions （财产） to her. She needed to come back and take care of
the things. When she arrived at his house, she was surprised to see the
still new dictionary there, just as she had left it years before. With tears
in her eyes, she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring dropped
from the dictionary to the floor and a card could be seen. She picked it
up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card
was the date of her birth, and the words "LOVE YOU ALWAYS".

Willie, the parrot, saved the baby
The two-year-old baby Hannah was eating when something got stuck
in her throat. Her mother was in the bathroom at the time. She suddenly
heard the bird screaming（尖叫） and making a noise with its wings.
"Then he started saying ‘mama baby' over and over and over again until
I came out," the mother said. "I saw the baby's face was blue. I quickly
removed the food from her throat. My baby was saved but Willie was
the real hero." Willie later received an award for saving the baby's life!
Buddy, the dog, saved his owner
Buddy was a clever German shepherd（德国牧羊犬）. When he was
eight weeks old, Buddy came to live with Joe. Joe suffers from seizures
that make him unable to move easily. Joe taught his new dog to do
something around him, such as, to bring him the phone. Joe also trained
Buddy how to call 911 when he started to experience the seizure. So
when Joe had a really bad seizure, Buddy was the one who called for
help and began making sounds into the phone. Emergency rescue（急救）
workers arrived within minutes and found Joe. They took him to the
hospital, where he recovered. Joe later said, "Buddy's my world. He's
my best friend, no doubt. He's always there, and I just hope I can be as
good to him as he's been to me."
Winnie, the cat, saved the family
One night, the gas at Cathy's home began to leak （泄漏）. The
family was sleeping. Their cat, Winnie, began to push her owners and
made loud meowing sounds. "It was a crazy meow, almost like she was
screaming," said Cathy. Cathy woke up and was already feeling sick. It
was hard for her to wake up her husband and son because they already
breathed in a large amount of gas. But thanks to their heroic cat Winnie,
Cathy was able to call 911 and get help before anyone was hurt. The
family says that Winnie is the one who saved their lives.
