During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆) along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.”He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest.

In order to deal with them, there are many ways, but I think asking others for help is a good way. Here are the examples.ProblemsAdvice I have a fear of the dark. When I am out camping with my friends, I can hardly sleep. Im so afraid. What can I do? -Jack Oh man. I was the same way when I was a kid! As I got older, I got over it, but if you arent there yet, try these tips. Firstly, try to think about what makes you afraid, and try to reason with yourself. Then think about pleasant things before going to bed. Besides, you could keep a small flashlight close to you, and put your sleeping bag over it so it gives off a weak light-Steve Keeping a flashlight nearby is a great idea. I like to read before going to bed to help clear my mind of worries. Just avoid reading anything scary!-Jenny Some of my friends make fun of me because Im scared of heights.

In your mind, imagine going to the top of a building, starting on the lowest floor and making it up to higher floors, one at a time. By the time you get to the top floor, you shouldnt feel nervous! This will help you get over your fear of heights.-Steve I completely understand, heights arent my friend either. And were not alone. Its very common. What has helped me is to take a few deep breaths.
