A lot of us e home without realizing we are bringing the war home with us, said Josh Marino, a veteran (退伍兵)of the Iraq war who suffered the effects of PTSD of suicide . I didn39。t want to deal with it anymore, Marino said. He wrote a goodbye note, grabbed a knife and went outside for a final cigarette in the rain. But then, from the deepest depth of despair came hope. Meowing out of the bushes next to him came a stray black and white kitten (小貓) which, according to Marino, just walked up and started rubbing up against my leg and let me pet him. I came to life again and I broke down crying. I burst into tears. From this accidental encounter everything changed. Marino found a new purpose in life through the friendly cat, who he named Scout, and who he credits with saving his life. I stopped thinking about all my problems, and started thinking about all his problems, and what I could do to help him, Marino said. The bond between them was instant，but that wasn39。t the end of the story. Marino has made a video of his and Scout39。s remarkable story of healing and heartbreak which you can watch on the Internet. The story is dedicated to showing how animals can help humans through tough times, as well as humans can help them. It is a beautiful story that is sure to tug at your heart strings, showing just how powerful the bond between humans and animals can be.

I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children39。s books printed in the target language. At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, lout then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop.
