One family between us and the ticket counter made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. The children were standing in line, two-by two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns（小丑），elephants and other acts they would see the night. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.” The ticket lady told him the price. The wifes head dropped, and the man leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price. The man didnt have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didnt have enough money to take them to the circus? Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $ 20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (we were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.” The man knew what was going on. He wasnt begging for money but certainly appreciated the help in a difficult, embarrassing situation. He looked straight into my dads eyes, took my dads hand in both of his, and he replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.” My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didnt go to the circus that night, but we didnt go without. 21.

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helpera little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax（蜡）in the beehives(蜂房)。The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.25. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest? A.
