One of the most famous nursery rhymes(搖籃曲) in the English language is Mary Had a Little Lamb(羔羊)．It has touched many children who have read it. It is about the deep love between a young girl and her pet lamb. The poem is from a true story that happened in the early part of the 19th century in the town of Sterling, Massachusetts, in the USA．

Mary Sawyer (1806－1889) lived on a farm with her family．One day, when she was about nine years old, she saw a little lamb that had just been born and left behind by its mother． It was very weak and looked as if it would die at very moment．Mary took pity on the lamb and spent the whole night looking after it．Eventually, it grew strong and became a very close friend with Mary, following her everywhere she went．

One day, the lamb even followed Mary to school．At first she wanted to turn it back but her brother suggested that it would be fun to take the lamb to school．During the class, she hid the lamb under her desk．But when she was called to go to the front of the class, to her surprise, the lamb followed her．Though the students and the teacher thought it was funny to see a lamb at school, the teacher had to ask Mary to keep the lamb outside of the school．

That very day, a young man called John Roulstone was visiting Mary’s school． He was so moved by the love between the child and her little pet lamb that he wrote a poem which he handed to Mary the next day． His poem contained twelve lines．

Later, Sara Josepha Hale added another twelve lines to the poem and published it in 1930 under the title “Mary Had a Little Lamb”． The poem has become a classic, loved by children all over the world． The appeal (吸引力) of the poem lies not only in the funny idea of a sheep going to school but also in the true love between the little girl and her pet． The town of Sterling has honoured Mary’s lamb by building a statue (雕像) of the lamb with Mr Roulstone’s poem below the statue．

A 8.2-magnitude（震級）earthquake struck off the coast of northern Chile late on Tuesday, cutting power and leading to small landslides and a tsunami (海嘯). Four men and one woman died —two who suffered heart attacks and three who were crushed（壓死). About 300 prisoners escaped from the northern port city of Iquique in the immediate aftershock (余震).

The quake struck at about 8:46 p.m. local time, some 60 miles northwest of Iquique. It had a depth of 12.5 miles. Chile’s National Emergency Office asked coastal residents to leave for safe places. “The fact is, we will know the extent of the damage as time goes by and when we inspect the areas in the light of day,” Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet said early on Wednesday. “The country has faced these first emergency hours very well.”

Residents in the port city of Antofagasta walked calmly through the streets to higher ground as traffic became heavy in some places. “Many people are fearful after experiencing the powerful earthquake in 2010, so they immediately rushed to higher ground when they heard the tsunami warning,” said a government official.”There have been lots of aftershocks and communications have been cut off in many of the affected areas. So people are waiting in the dark hills, not knowing what is to come, and hoping they will be able to return to their homes safely.”

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center sent our several tsunami warnings, but called off all of them by early Wednesday.

Tsunami waves of more than six feet caused by the earthquake washed ashore on the coast of Pisagua. Iquique, with a population of more than 200,000, saw seven-foot waves.

Here are some top tips for world travelers.

Travel light. 1. It’s no fun carrying a huge bag around a foreign city. Don’t take too many clothes and avoid heavy books and electrical equipment.

Transport sense. Don’t let go of your bags on the train. 3. There are always thieves on public transport. If you want to sleep, tie your bag to your arm. When you take a taxi, it’s a good idea to ask for the driver’s permit. Many foreigners pay too much money because they take unofficial taxis.
