今天，我去上小桔灯作文课，当我走到门口的时候，我听见一阵阵动听的英语歌声，我看见一张张的椅子，整整齐齐的排列着，仿佛一个个军人整齐地站着，现场人山人海，热闹非凡，啊！原来今天马力教育在举办一场英语比赛。
比赛开始了，我们小桔灯班上的王潇然同学，她带着微笑走上台，一点都不紧张，她的声音很响亮，她滚瓜烂熟地背三年级书上的课文Unit3，拿了不错的分数。我心想：“如果让我上去表演，我也能这像她这样背吗。”
还有4个戴面具的小朋友都很可爱，他们头上各戴着小兔、小狗和小猪，他们刚上台很紧张，差点把台词都给忘了，老师急忙上去鼓励他们，告诉他们台词的开头，后来他们放松很多，表演得很精彩，我们都情不自禁地为他们鼓掌，他们都拿到了一个奖品，奖品是装铅笔的盒子。
我很羡慕他们，我暗暗地在心里下决心，我要向他们学习，好好努力，大胆参与，争取走上领奖台。

学校在今天要举行英语风采大赛了，看得出，班主任和同学们个个都显得是那么地紧张。 吃了午饭，比赛很快就开始了。主持人用清脆而又响亮的声音说：“同学们，英语风采大赛，现在开始！”此时此地，整个比赛现场响起了娓娓动听的音乐声，本来显得有些紧张的比赛现场很快就变得轻松起来，我从班主任的脸上看出了她在微笑，她那冷静自若的表情，给了我一种很大的安慰。
“下面有请五b班的同学为大家献上一首好听的英语歌曲!”最后，我们班以优美的歌声，娴熟的英语歌词以及让人心旷神怡的舞姿，博得了台下老师和同学们的热烈赞赏。
比赛是激烈的，要求是严格的，评比是认真的，要能在这场风采大赛中胜出，那绝对不是一件容易的事，因此，对于这次比赛的结果，我是早有心理准备的。我们班在这次比赛中，虽然不能取得最好的成绩，但一样值得我们的骄傲和欣慰，因为我们参与了，也因为我们努力了。

这周星期五，也就是二零一四年的三月七日。我参加了由cctv主办的英语风采大赛。其中，笔试部分真是太难了。
一进大厅便是人山人海、“赛”人如织。挤都挤不过来。所以逼得我没办法，只好用参赛证和铅笔袋护着头，硬撞进去。好不容易排上队了，又被别人踩了好几脚，哎~我真倒霉啊！“啊！”我心想，“我得仔细听着工作人员有没有点到我的名字才行。”于是，我竖起耳朵仔细的听着。忽然我好像是听到自己的名字了，便急急忙忙挤了过去，到了前面，“哦，你就是高明睿。请抽签吧！”我随便从箱子里抽了一个号码牌，“二十二号！”我先是一愣，继而是叹了一口气，“二十二号，挺靠后的。”
过了一会儿，一个工作人员把我们这二十几个人全都领到了二楼一个教室里面。一共有两张卷子，一张是对你的英语学习情况进行了解 ，比如：你读英语报纸吗？A、经常B、偶尔C、只读过一次D、从未读过。让你选择并在A、B、C、D前面打对号。接着又发了第二张试卷儿，太难了。第一、二题是听力部分。第一题是他说一个句子让你选A、Yes,heisB、Yes,sheisC、Yes,theyis.第二题是他说一个故事，让你选试卷上面写得是对还是错。我们让工作人员放了五遍都没怎么听懂。
过了一会儿，我们把笔试做完后，开始静静地背诵我们准备的故事。然后，工作人员觉得A1组已经结束了，就把我们五人一组五人一组的带下去进行才艺表演。当你背诵完后（如果你还没背完就到时间了就会让你停住），外教就会给你提供一张照片并提问你一至三个问题，如果你答不上来，外教就会对你说：“thankyou.”

（一）AnIngenious Love Letter
There once lived a lad who was deeply in love with a girl, but disliked by the girl’s father, who didn’t want to see any further development of their love. The lad was eager to write to the girl, yet he was quite sure that the father would read it first. So he wrote such a letter to the girl:
My love for you I once expressed
no longer lasts, instead, my distaste for you
is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you,
I even won’t like that look yours.
I’ll do nothing but
look away from you. You can never expect I’ll
marry you. The last chat we had
was so dull and dry that you shouldn’t think it made me eager to see you again.
If we get married, I firmly believe I’ll
live a hard life, I can never
live happily with you, I’ll devote myself
but not
to you. No one else is more
harsh and selfish and least
solicitous and considerate than you.
I sincerely want to let you know
what I said is true. Please do me a favor by
ending our relations and refrain from
writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of
things which displease me. You have no
sincere care for me. So long! Please believe
I don’t love you any longer. Don’t think
I still have a love of you!
Having read the letter, the father felt relieved and gave it to his daughter with a light heart. The girl also felt quite pleased after she read it carefully, her lad still had a deep love for her. Do you know why? In fact, she felt very sad when she read the letter for the first time. But she read it for a few more times and , at last, she found the key – only every other line should be read, that is the first line, the third, the fifth … and so on to the end.
（二）AnEmpty Box
Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, xxxThis is for you, Daddy!xxx
As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.
But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. xxxDon't you know, young lady, xxx he said harshly, xxxwhen you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package!xxx
The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: xxxDaddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full.xxx
The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.
There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
（三）Happiness Equateswith Fun?
I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.
Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful inpiduals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells xxxhappinessxxx.
But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.
The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.
（四）Today is a Gift
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, xxxPerhaps he just wanted to encourage you.xxx
（五）Is Packing Important to You?
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, xxxWith all your money you give me a Bible?xxx He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… xxxPAID IN FULLxxx.
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect xxxthe packagingxxx to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
（六）The Baby Eagle
Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives.
The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view, and even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious morsels of food. She was like a god to him, he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.
The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food and love and attention he craved. The baby eagle grew strong. His vision grew very sharp. He felt good all the time.
Until one day, the mother stopped coming to the nest.
The baby eagle was hungry. xxxI'm sure to die,xxx said the baby eagle, all the time.
xxxVery soon, death is coming,xxx he cried, with tears streaming down his face. Over and over. But there was no one there to hear him.
Then one day the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff, with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby. The baby looked up at the mother and cried xxxWhy did you abandon me? I'm going to die any minute. How could you do this to me?xxx
The mother said, xxxHere is some very tasty and nourishing food, all you have to do is come get it.xxx
xxxCome get it!xxx said the baby, with much anger. xxxHow?xxx
The mother flew away.
The baby cried and cried and cried.
A few days later, xxxI'm going to end it all,xxx he said. xxxI give up. It is time for me to die.xxx
He didn't know his mother was nearby. She swooped down to the nest with his last meal.
xxxEat this, it's your last meal,xxx she said.
The baby cried, but he ate and whined and whined about what a bad mother she was.
xxxYou're a terrible mother,xxx he said. Then she pushed him out of the nest.
He fell.
Head first.
Picked up speed.
Faster and faster.
He screamed. xxxI'm dying I'm dying,xxx he cried. He picked up more speed.
He looked up at his mother. xxxHow could you do this to me?xxx
He looked down.
The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. He could visualize his own death so clearly, coming so soon, and cried and whined and complained. xxxThis isn't fair!xxx he screamed.
Something strange happens.
The air caught behind his arms and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasn't moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun.
xxxHuh?xxx he said. xxxWhat is going on here!xxx
xxxYou're flying,xxx his mother said.
xxxThis is fun!xxx laughed the baby eagle, as he soared and ped and swooped.
xxxYes it is!xxx said the mother.

20xx年6月14日，我在一个大教室里进行了我人生中的第一次英语演讲。我一点儿都不紧张，反而觉得很激动。
这是一次好玩、有趣的经历。我的演讲主题是垃圾分类。我为什么选择这个主题呢？因为，我很喜欢我们的蓝色家园——地球，毕竟我们只有一个地球啊！我当时看了木偶剧《垃圾大战》，认识到了垃圾分类很重要。这个木偶剧给我留下了很深刻的印象，我现在还记得木偶剧中的故事呢！剧中说，如果人们不重视垃圾分类，我们的城市未来将变成垃圾山。邪恶的黑水女王将占领人类居住的地方，动物也将失去它们的家园。所以，我选择了垃圾分类这个主题。
听，我开始演讲了。首先，我用一首改编的英文儿歌做了自我介绍。接着，我讲了一下关于我的主题的简单的介绍。然后，我开始正式演讲了。最后，我用“让我们行动起来吧！”作为结束口号。结束之后，我安静地等待其他参赛选手完成他们的作品。
最后，终于到选第一名的时候了!结果？哈哈，我是自己心中的第一名！我很开心！
这就是我第一次英语演讲的经历。

天堂，瓦蓝，云，白雪。太阳升起，把阳光散射在地球上。一切都是那么美好，但大自然的快乐情绪并没有感染我，我依然被紧张和恐惧包围着。因为，今天早上，英语口语比赛就要开始了。
我以为大家水平差不多，但是新校区来了，我被我们老校区惊呆了：男生西装笔挺，女生裙子飘飘，有的女生穿JK的衣服，都是化了妆的。至于我们，就像遇到白天鹅的丑小鸭一样，先在气势上被甩了不少。这时候只能安慰自己：没什么，没什么，还是靠实力吧，不要看重！
后来看到他们在场外练习，发现我们的实力比不上他们。暑假每天都有人训练，开学n天后我们才知道有比赛。哦，我们太自信了，我们的自信被打破了！这不是比赛！明明是看新学校怎么碾压旧学校！
我不禁捏了一把冷汗。看来这场比赛有点悬！
看了他们强大的气场，我们开始抽签！我决心永远得不到第一。我还是等别人拿第一吧。所以，当大家都去抽烟的时候，我心里想：1号，1号.但是谁知道我的祈祷是没有用的，一个个都很幸运。此时，盒子里只剩下两个数字，一号和十一号。我犹豫了一下，希望另一个人先抽，但是他胆子没我大，就不去了。于是我闭上眼睛，鼓起勇气，抓起一个号码，然后忐忑不安地慢慢打开了号码。哇，是第11个。我太幸运了！而那个男生别无选择，只能默默接受这个来之不易的第一名！
比赛开始了，一个接一个。我11号，等了很久才进考场。走进考场，发现里面的人都很安静，埋着头，认真思考。指导我们的老师看起来很严肃，不停地走来走去。我有点紧张，腿在发抖。拿起图片刷了一整张纸，写得几乎和平时一样，但是一写完，又开始紧张了！
该我上场了。老师让我去楼上教室，我的腿开始变软，失去知觉，好像失控了。登上领奖台需要很大的努力。我的心差点跳出嗓子眼，手都忍不住抖了，手都湿了，汗流浃背。心想怎么这么严格，准备和讲话都不是地方！过来，继续干吧！经过自己的酝酿，我冷静下来，把故事讲了个没完。
“……我的故事结束了，谢谢你的倾听！”令我惊讶的是，老师们竟然给了我鼓励的掌声。
游戏快结束的时候，我突然放松了，我会深深记住我成长的每一步！

周日上午，我来到中山路小学参加“NEPBS”英语大赛初赛。从拥挤的人群中的逢中钻进去，朝门口的妈妈挥挥手，就马不停蹄地朝楼梯间走去。上了二楼，在13考场属于我的位置坐下。
坐在位置上，觉得实在无聊，边东张西望，和前后同学聊起天来。你想，我可是提前25分钟到的呀！但是，那个时候谈的话题可不怎么有趣，他们都紧张得说不出话来。但我和他们不一样，我可是从美国回来的呀！再加上前一届我还参加过，还得了一等奖，就更不会紧张了。
“叮叮叮……”，过了一会儿，就开考了。我耳朵竖着，仔细地听播放出的每一个音，来完成这部分听力。听力可真简单啊！我毫无压力地完成了听力部分，似乎有点得意忘形了，对下面的笔试部分根本不担心。但是当做到一大半的时候，我被卡住了，任我怎样冥思苦想也无济于事，那是一道智力题，比前面的题目难多了。我不禁抓耳挠腮，尽力去解开这个谜团。突然，监考老师说了一句：“还有15分钟。”我的眼睛瞪得圆圆的，这可怎么办呀，我的作文还没写呢！我赶紧放弃这道题，去写我的作文。作文刚写好，又听见监考老师的声音：“收卷！”我十分惊慌，草草地在那个智力题上写了几个字母，卷子就被收走了。看着那张被收走的卷子，我的眼睛里显出一丝失望。
考完试后，我心想，当时怎么能这么得意呢？唉，人外有人，天外有天。我还有更大的进步空间，以后，一定要学更多的知识，挑战更难的题目。

今天下午我们学校举行了英语节歌曲大家唱，我们都很兴奋。我们有的在家画好妆有的在班上画好妆，个个都美美的帅帅的。
来到音乐厅，我们先坐好看其他班级表演，大家的服装都很漂亮整齐。我们只看了五个节目，大家的节目都很精彩，二年级三班的同学表演了《爸爸去哪儿》我觉得表演的很棒，是我比较喜欢的一个节目。
我真想再看几个节目。不过就要到我们表演了，我们要去准备了。我们表演的是《Twinkle Twinkle Little Star》，我们表演的也很精彩，女孩子的衣服闪闪的，男同学的是夏季礼服看起来像个小绅士。前面六个女同学他们表演的动作最难了，我们男同学的动作比较简单，就在那里一站一坐的，最后拍手。我们没有看到剩下的节目，表演完我们就回到教室吃冰激凌了，吃完冰激凌我们还去合了影。
如果下次还有这种大型节目，我们要更认真表现更好，因为那时我们又长大了一些，我希望下次男同学也有动作。

星期五，学校举行全校英语朗诵比赛。为了迎接这次重要的比赛，我早已做好了准备。
比赛开始了，选手们一个接一个上场比赛。我站在场外，听到正在朗诵的同学那熟练的声音时，心里非常紧张。我不停地给自己鼓劲：“不要紧张，不要紧张！你是最棒的！”想着想着，我信心胜的感觉。
轮到我上场，我先朗诵了中文，然后又很流利地朗诵了英语故事《TWOLIONS》。比赛结束了，我终于松了口气。宣布结果时，我的心又再次提到了嗓子眼。当广播里传来“三年级组一等奖沈泽宇”时，我悬在心中的石头一下子落了下来。
放学后，我忍不住心中的喜悦，像小鸟一样飞进了家门。我为自己的表现而感到高兴。

今天，我早早吃了午饭，12:30就来到了越溪实验小学，参加下午1；00举行的第八届“时代杯”英语风采大赛。来了以后，我们才知道,1:20才是真正动笔参赛的时间，参赛证上的竞赛时间1:00实际上是进考场的时间。来早了，我就多复习了一遍。
1:20开始做竞赛题了。竞赛题分听力、基础运用、能力提升、图形推理四个部分。我按照要求，先做笔试部分。我先在试卷上把一个一个题目做好，然后一边检查，一边把答案誊到答题卡上，在小括号格子里填涂。
这次竞赛的试题还是有一定难度的，主要是有些词语既没教过，也从没接触过。实在没办法了，只好按照上下文的意思进行推测了，有的还真给我推测对了呢。2:20分，我们开始进行听力测试。听力要报题，我仔细把每道题都都听得很认真、很清楚，答题有很大把握。

前一段时间，我参加了“希望之星”英语比赛，没想到进入了复赛。复赛比初赛难多了，初赛只需要用英语进行自我介绍，再加上才艺表演就行了，而复赛呢，除了这两项之外，还要看图用英语说句子。比赛的图片有20多张，比赛前两分钟进行抽签、准备，然后就要上场了。
这一个礼拜，我一直在为比赛做准备，可是因为图片太多了，时间又紧张，所以我只准备了其中的10多幅图片。
星期六下午，妈妈陪我去参加英语比赛。抽签的时候，我看见我准备的图片都被别的小朋友一张张抽走了，心里有点儿紧张。轮到我了，果然，我抽到了一幅没有准备过图片，我想：“这下可完了，真倒霉！可是，都已经到了，也没办法了，只能再努力准备一下了。”上场的时候，我不再紧张，我大方地做了自我介绍，并唱了一首英语歌，看图说话开始了，大屏幕上出示了图片，老师把话筒递给我。我先介绍了图片上的人物，在介绍他们在干什么，30秒中里面，我大概说了八、九个句子。
比赛结束了，妈妈表扬我发挥的很好。不知道会不会进绍兴市的比赛，但是不管结果如何，这都是一次很好的经历。

“英语棋”，在英语老师推荐我参加本次新兴杯之前我还没有听说过。她帮我们报名后，组织班里的参赛选手开始练习，我才第一次接触到这个棋。
老师给我们讲了下棋的规则，我一下子就爱上了这个“游戏”，它能帮助我们解决记单词的困难，使我们在玩中反复记忆单词，在玩棋的过程中动手动脑。
比赛当天，我心里很没底，因为平时的单词储备量不是很大，战战兢兢的走进赛场。果真棋逢对手，我们俩没有像其它选手那样，几个回合就草草结束，一直坚持对决到最后。这个棋不仅要求有英语词汇量，还要有下棋的“战术”，因为最后是要靠积分取胜。由于自己会下象棋，围棋等，尤其精通国际象棋，所以在比赛中就会运用到布局，战略计算，因为所组成单词的字母放在不同位置上积分是不同的，有的甚至可以得到九倍积分。
经过激烈对战，我取得了两百多分的战绩，最后夺得了此次比赛的一等奖。比赛后，爸爸给我购买了一套初级版英语棋，我们经常在家里对弈。这个棋不仅可以背单词，还可以开发智力，锻炼我们的条理性，开拓思维，增强记忆力，提高判断力。我以后把棋带到学校，利用下课时间大家一起切磋。希望同学们都能爱上它！
阅读之星英语比赛范文大全 第十四篇
xxxLeave him alonexxx I yelled as I walked out of the orphanage gate and saw several of the Spring Park School bullies pushing the deaf kid around. I did not know the boy at all but I knew that we were about the same age, because of his size. He lived in the old white house across the street from the orphanage where I lived. I had seen him on his front porch several times doing absolutely nothing, except just sitting there making funny like hand movements.
In the summer time we didn't get much to eat for Sunday supper, except watermelon and then we had to eat it outside behind the dining room so we would not make a mess on the tables inside. About the only time that I would see him was through the high chain-link fence that surrounded the orphanage when we ate our watermelon outside.
The deaf kid started making all kind of hand signals, real fast like. xxxYou are a stupid idiotxxx said the bigger of the two bullies as he pushed the boy down on the ground. The other bully ran around behind the boy and kicked him as hard as he could in the back. The deaf boy's body started shaking all over and he curled up in a ball trying to shield and hide his face. He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldn't make any sounds, I don't think.
I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate and into the thick azalea bushes. I uncovered my home-made bow which I had constructed out of bamboo and string. I grabbed four arrows that were also made of bamboo and they had coca cola tops bent around the ends to make real sharp tips. Then I ran back out the gate with an arrow cocked in the bow and I just stood there quiet like, breathing real hard just daring either one of them to kick or touch the boy again.
xxxYou're a dumb freak just like him you big eared creepxxx said one of the boys as he grabbed his friend and backed off far enough so that the arrow would not hit them. xxxIf you're so brave kick him again nowxxx I said, shaking like a leaf. The bigger of the two bullies ran up and kicked the deaf boy in the middle of his back as hard as he could and then he ran out of arrow range again.
The boy jerked about and then made a sound that I will never forget for as long as I live. It was the sound like a whale makes when it has been harpooned and knows that it is about to die. I fired all four of my arrows at the two bullies as they ran away laughing about what they had done.
I pulled the boy up off the ground and helped him back to his house which was about two blocks down the street from the school building. When we reached his home his sister told me that her brother was deaf but that he was not dumb like the two bullies said. That he was very smart but could not say or hear anything. I told her that he did make a sound when the bully kicked him in the back. She told me that I must be mistaken because all her brother's vocal cords had been removed during an experimental surgery, which had failed.
The boy made one of those hand signs at me as I was about to leave. I asked his sister xxxif your brother is so smart then why is he doing things like that with his hands?xxx She told me that he was saying that he loved me with his hands. I didn't say anything back to her at all because I didn't believe her. People can't talk with their hands and everybody knows that. People can only talk with their mouth.
Almost every Sunday for the next year or two I could see the boy through the chain-link fence as we ate watermelon outside behind the dining room, during the summer time. He always made that same funny hand sign at me and I would just wave back at him, not knowing what else to do.
On my very last day in the orphanage I was being chased by the police. They told me that I was being sent off to the Florida School for Boys Reform School, at Marianna so I ran to get away from them. They chased me around the dining room building several times and finally I made a dash for the chain-link fence and tried to climb over in order to escape. I saw the deaf boy sitting there on his porch just looking at me as they pulled me down from the fence and handcuffed me. The boy, now about twelve jumped up and ran across San Diego Road, placed his fingers through the chain-link fence and just stood there looking at us.
They dragged me by my legs, screaming and yelling for more than several hundred yards through the dirt and pine-straw to the waiting police car. All I could hear the entire time was the high pitched sound of that whale being harpooned again. As we pulled away in the police car I saw the deaf boy loosen his grip on the fence and slide very slowly to the ground and lower his head into the leaves and pine straw. That is when I realized that he probably really did love me and he wanted to save me because he thought that I too was making the whale sound.
