The three fiss saw them.Demo decided at once to leave, to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean. He thought, I wont discuss with these two about this.

Their ignorance will cost them their lives.Seeing the wise fish had left, Jimmy thought, My guide has gone and now Ive lost my chance to escape. He felt sorry for it and then thought, What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets? Perhaps I should pretend（假装）to be already dead, giving myself totally to the water. So he did that. He went up and down with the water, helpless, within arms reach of the fishermen.Look at this! The best and biggest fish is dead. One of the men lifted him by the tail, and threw him up on the ground. He rolled（滚动）over and over and moved secretly toward the water, and then, back in.The third fish was aimlessly jumping about, trying to escape with his speed and cleverness.

But arent you happy that theres a dentist near you ?BackachesA backache is no fun at all. People who suffer from one have a lot of pain. Sometimes its because a bone in the back is out of position.

Well, that was the idea, but this “cure” probably just made the backache worse!BaldnessOK, its not really a disease at all. But men whose hair is falling out are never happy about it ,are they? The ancient Egyptians had the solution. What did they use to do ?They took the fat of a lion, a hippo, a cat and a snake, mixed them together, and then rubbed the mixture into the mans head.
