but at one corner something wonderful happens. before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. he doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. but for the third he has a joyful "hello!". from head to tail his little body wags his happiness. everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house.

one day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus. i wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. sure enough, he was!

he stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. i could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. where was she?

the driver closed the back door. the dog raced to the front door. it, too, shut in his face.

everyone on the bus felt sad. poor little pup! he looked so unhappy, standing there!

the driver couldn't stand it. he opened the door and looked down at the dog. "she didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.

a man in a front seat leaned forward. "maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.

the dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." he watched the bus as we pulled away. then he turned to trot home ── alone.

the next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. yes, the dog was waiting for her.

the welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. we all smiled at one another. how bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!

there was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. i guess that would have been when i was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.

i would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that i had become and then i would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.

after breakfast one saturday morning i returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the azalea bushes strewn around the orphanage.

i carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after the other, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

how cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. i had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so i could look at them up close.

when the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement step and went inside to answer the phone. i walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. it was still moving about so i reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. it started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin. finally it's wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just quivered.

i picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and i spat on it's wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back. but it would not stay on him.

the next thing i knew the house parent came walking back out of the back door by the garbage room and started yelling at me. i told him that i did not do anything but he did not believe me. he picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the top of the head. there were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. he threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left.

i sat there in the dirt, by that big old tree, for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so i could bury them whole, but it was too hard to do. so i prayed for them and then i put them in an old torn up shoe box and i buried them in the bottom of the fort that i had built in the ground, out by the large bamboos, near the blackberry bushes.

every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me i would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

andrew carnegie, known as the king of steel, built the steel industry in the united states, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in america. his success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.

carnegie believed that inspaniduals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. he opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "he who dies rich, dies disgraced, " he often his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the carnegie institute of pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. he also founded a school of technology that is now part of carnegie-mellon university. other philanthropic gifts are the carnegie endowment for international peace to promote understanding between nations, the carnegie institute of washington to fund scientific research, and carnegie hall to provide a center for the arts.

few americans have been left untouched by andrew carnegie's generosity. his contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

被稱作鋼鐵大王的安德魯·卡內(nèi)基在美國建立了鋼鐵工業(yè)。在這個過程中，他變成了美國最富有的人之一。 他的成功，部分來自于他銷售產(chǎn)品的能力，部分來自于經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條時期的擴(kuò)充策略。在蕭條時期，他的多數(shù)對手都在縮減投資。

卡內(nèi)基認(rèn)為個人應(yīng)該通過努力工作來獲得進(jìn)展，但他也強烈地感到有錢人應(yīng)該運用他們的財富來為社會謀 取福利。他反對施舍救濟(jì)，更愿意提供教育機會，使別人自立。卡內(nèi)基經(jīng)常說："富有著死去的人死得可恥。"他對社會的較重要的貢獻(xiàn)都以他的名字命名。這些貢獻(xiàn)包括匹茲堡卡內(nèi)基學(xué)校。這個學(xué)校有一個圖書館，一個美術(shù)館和一個國家歷史博物館;他還創(chuàng)立了一所技術(shù)學(xué)校，這所學(xué)校現(xiàn)在是卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學(xué)的一部分;其他的慈善捐贈有為促進(jìn)國家間了解的"卡內(nèi)基國際和平基金"，為科學(xué)研究提供經(jīng)費的華盛頓卡內(nèi)基學(xué)院以及給各種藝術(shù)活動提供活動中心的卡內(nèi)基音樂廳。

安德魯·卡內(nèi)基的慷慨大度幾乎影響到每個美國人的生活。由于他超過五百萬美元的捐款，2500 個圖書館得以建立起來，遍布在美國各地的小村鎮(zhèn)，形成了我們今天還在享用的公共圖書館系統(tǒng)的核心。
