One rainy night , Mark decided to end his life . Having undergone a lot of sufferings and frustrations , he walked the streets , feeling desperate .

On that same night , I was sitting in my room when I heard the doorbell rang . My mom

opened the door , finding herself face-to-face with a very disheveled-looking man , Mark , with tears running down his face . My mom , overcome by pity , invited him inside .

Curious , I went downstairs to get a better look . The sight of the man , holding his head in his hands and crying , made my chest ache . I raced back upstairs to my room , pulled out my only half-dollar coin from my money jar and ran back downstairs .

When I reached the door of the living room , I walked right in and quickly made my way over to the stranger . I put the half-dollar in his hand and told him that I wanted him to have it . Then I gave him a hug and turned and ran as fast as I could out of the room and back up the stairs .

Downstairs , tears streamed down Mark’s face as he tightly held that coin . Finally he said , “ It’s just that I thought nobody cared . For the last twenty years , I have been so alone . That was the first hug I have gotten . It’s hard to believe that somebody cares . ”

Before Mark left , my parents asked him why he had knocked on our door , Mark said that as he was walking the streets that rainy night , hope. less and ready to die , he noticed a bumper sticker（车贴）on our car reading SOMEBODY LOVES YOU .

It’s hard to imagine that a bumper sticker and fifty cents could change a person’s life . Mark’s life did change that night . When he left our house , he was ready to live instead of die .

Dear Friend ,

The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge market out there .

And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children’s books bought each year … plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers .

Who are these needed writers ? They’re ordinary folks like you and me . But am I good enough ?

I was once where you might be now . My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt , and I didn’t know where to turn for help .

Then , I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing ability , and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed .

The promise that paid off

The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you , if you show basic writing ability :

You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course . I really didn’t expect any publication before I finished the course , but that happened . I sold three stories . And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute .

Since graduation , I have authored 34 nationally published children’s books and over 300 stories and articles .

Free test and brochure We offer a free ability test and will send you a copy of our brochure（小册子）describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training .

Realize your writing dream today . There’s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever .

Sincerely , Kristi Hill , Instructor

Institute of Children’s Literature

People are interested in eating raw foods or whole foods partly because eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation（酸堆积）in our body .

Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and processed foods . When we cook foods , we destroy the natural enzymes（酶）that are part of the food in its raw form . These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food . When we consume food without these natural enzymes , our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream . In both cases , the result
