It was Sunday morning. A butcher（屠夫） heard the doorbell and thought it must be a customer. But he was surprised to see that a dog was coming into his shop. The dog had $10 and a note in its mouth. The butcher took the note and read it. It said, "10 pork chops（排骨）, please." So the butcher took the money and put a bag of chops in the dog's mouth.
Then he quickly closed the shop because he decided to follow the dog. He found the dog on the street. The dog was waiting for a green light. Then the dog walked across the road. The dog went to a bus stop. When a bus arrived, the dog checked the number and then got on the bus
After a while, the dog stood up on his back paws（爪子） to push the "stop" button（按钮）.The bus stopped and the dog got off. Then the butcher followed it to get off the bus.
The dog ran to a house and dropped the bag in front of the front door. It then began to beat its head against the front door. After a while, a big man opened the door and began shouting at the dog. The butcher ran up and shouted at the man, "What are you doing? Your dog is a genius（天才）."
The owner of the dog said, "Genius? No way! I always tell him to take the keys when he goes to the stores. But he never listens to me! "

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Brown wanted to catch the 1:30 flight to New York to have an important meeting. At 4:30, Mrs Brown, his wife, got his phone call and he said that he was still at the airport.
"What happened to you?" Mrs Brown asked in surprise.
"Well," Mr. Brown said. "Everything was fine at first. I got my ticket checked, took my bags and waited in line to get on the plane. While I was walking across the runway to the plane, I saw my friend Jack Scott—he was a flight attendant. I shouted to him and a policeman caught me."
"But why?"
"I don't know. As soon as he heard my shout, he ran towards me and caught me."
"What did you shout to your friend?"
"All I said was 'Hi, Jack' ; you know that's the usual way we say hello to our friend."
"But the sentence 'Hi, Jack' also means to take control of a plane by force(武力). Don't you know?"
The teacher came in the students were having a meeting.
The backpack is books.
