But the teacher cried
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled . His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.
When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.
"Was school all right?" she asked, "Did you get along all right? did you cry?"
"Cry?" John asked. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!"
可是老师哭了
六岁的约翰娇生惯养。他的父亲知道这一点，可他的祖父母仍然宠着他。这孩子几乎寸步不离他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭，就是闹。他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。
约翰放学了，他奶奶在门口接他并问道：“学校怎么样？你过的好吗？哭了没有？”
“哭？”约翰问，“不，我没哭，可老师哭了。”
一生的爱
Once upon a time a teacher and his student lay down under the big tree near the big grass area. Then suddenly the student asked the teacher.
"Teacher, I'm confused, how do we find our soul mate? Can you please help me?"
Silent for a few seconds, the teacher then answered, "Well, it's a pretty hard and an easy question."
The teacher continued, "Look that way, there is a lot of grass, why don't you walk there? Please don't walk backwards, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a blade of beautiful grass and pick it up and then give it to me. But just one."
The student said, "Well, OK then... wait for me..." and walked straight ahead to the grassy field.
A few minutes later the student came back.
The teacher asked, "Well, I don't see a beautiful blade of grass in your hand."
The student said, "On my journey, I found quite a few beautiful blade of grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it. But I didn't realize that I was at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked any because you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back."
The teacher said, "That's what will happen in real life."
What is the message of this story?
In the story, grass is the people around you, the beautiful blade of grass is the people that attract you and the grassy field is time.
In looking for your soul mate, please don't always compare and hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime, cause remember "Time Never Goes Back".

the UK precursor to American Football, which is still happily played over here in the UK. There are two variants of rugby, namely Rugby Union and Rugby League, with one of the chief differences between the two being the number of players per team - 15 in Union and 13 in League, but that's not desperately relevant.
To deal with Rugby Union, a rugby team is divided into the forwards - 8 big hulking guys who form the "scrum" (hence the term line of scrimmage) - and the backs who line up diagonally across the pitch whenever a scrum takes place, but who must be behind the ball. The 7 backs are themselves sub-divided into 2 half-backs (the scrum-half, the guy who feeds the ball into the scrum and distributes it down the line of backs if his side should win the ball, and the fly-half, sometimes known as the standoff-half, who's next down the line), 4 three-quarter backs (the inside and outside centres and a left and right wing) and right at the rear, the full back.
So it's all about the positioning of the players on a rugby pitch. I suspect that American Football adopted and amended these terms.

Second language
A mother mouse was out for a stroll with her babies when she spotted a cat crouched behind a bush. She watched the cat, and the cat watched the mice.
Mother mouse barked fiercely, "Woof, woof, woof!" The cat was so terrified that it ran for it's life.
Mother mouse turned to her babies and said, "Now, do you understand the value of a second language?"
