A long time ago, there was a farmer who had ten donkeys(驴). One evening, after

a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie

them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope

was gone.

What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely

run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer

ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do

to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope

in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”

The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around

its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half

trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donkey would run away in the

middle of the night.

When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still

standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys

and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to

move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.

First Lady Michelle Obama is a big fan of volunteering. Volunteering means

working for free to help someone else. Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very

important. “It should be part of everyone’s life, ” she says.

Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a

difference. These days, more teens volunteer than work for pay. Teens clean up parks,

walk dogs at animal shelters , visit the elderly and more.

Some cities ---- including Seatle, Chicago, and Washingtong,D.C. ----require

high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate. The
