A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful too. It gives us some interesting phrases(短語). One is “ to let the cat out of the bag.” It is the same as “to tell a secret”. There’s an old interesting story about it.
Long ago, when people sold things in big cloth bags, a woman asked a man for a pig. The man held up his cloth bag. There seemed to be a little pig in it. The woman asked to see it. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a pig! The man’s secret was out and everyone knew it.
Now when someone lets out a secret, he “ lets the cat out of the bag”. And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.

“Well, yes. But aren’t you going to punish him?” asked the puzzled boy.
“No, that would only make him hate you.” the leader explained. “I want you to call your mother. Ask her to send you another box of cookies.”
The boy did so and soon received another box of cookies. “Now,” said the leader, “the boy who stole your cookies is down by the lake. Go and share your cookies with him.”

Kindergartens may teach you very important things you need to know. Dancy, a 5-year-old boy, saved his father’s life with the skills he learned.
The boy’s father became seriously ill on the way home from a father-son shopping. He couldn’t speak and could hardly move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At that point, Dancy used his father’s phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her useful information and he was able to tell where they were. Just as he had learned in the kindergarten, Dancy read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign: “F,U,R,N,I,T,U,R,E.” But that wasn’t enough for his mother to find them. Then he added that they were near a bridge. Finally, his mother understood he was talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jersey’s Route 22. The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time.
“He just thought his dad needed help,” Dancy’s mother told the reporter. She also pointed out that her husband was a hero, too. “It is surprising for him to get off the highway and get himself and his child to safety even when he was so sick,” she said.
Shine, head of the kindergarten, felt proud of his pupil. “Dancy’s spelling skills helped him seize(抓住)the moment,” he said. “And that’s the real value of education.”
小題1:When the father became seriously ill, he and his son were ______.
