"Hey, we forgot to bring money to pay for our cake," the big tortoise said. "The little tortoise can go home and get it," the medium-sized tortoise said. "He's the youngest, so he should be the one to go." The little tortoise wasn't very pleased at this, but he knew he shouldn't argue with his elders, so he said, "All right, I'll go. But you must promise not to eat my cake while I'm away." The large tortoise and the medium-sized tortoise agreed, and the little tortoise set off for home to get some money. A few days later, the big tortoise said to the medium-sized tortoise, "Let's eat the little tortoise's cake. I'm hungry again." "So am I," the medium-sized tortoise said, and reached for the cake.

Dear Sonia,
How are you?
You asked me to visit the Great Wall next week, I’d love to, but I can’t. Next week, I’ll be very busy. I’ll study for the math test on Monday. And on Tuesday, I’ll have to go to the guitar lesson. I usually have a lot of homework on Wednesday, so I have to stay at home and spend much time on it that day. Then on Thursday, I’ll do some housework. You know, my parents are very busy, they are tired after work, I think I should do something helpful. Susan’s party will come on Friday. So I don’t think we can go to the together next week. That’s a pity. I do hope we can find other time to do things together.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Henry
