onto him. He tried to smell it, and then caught some on his tongue. It bit like fire, and then disappeared. It was his first snow.
Buck?s first day at Dyea Beach was terrible. Every hour there was some new, frightening surprise. And every minute there was danger, because these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They knew only the law of club and tooth.
Buck had never seen dogs fight like these dogs; they were like wolves. In a few minutes he learnt this from watching Curly. She tried to make friends with a dog. There was no warning. The dog jumped on Curly, whose face was torn open from eye to mouth. Thirty or forty more dogs ran up and made a circle around the fight, watching silently. Curly tried to attack the dog who had bitten her; he bit her a second time, and jumped away. When she attacked him again, he knocked her backwards, and she fell on the ground. She never stood up again, because this was what the other dogs were waiting for. In a moment she was under a crowd of dogs.
It was all very sudden. Buck saw Spitz run out from the crowd with his tongue out of his mouth, laughing. Then he saw Franois with an ax, and two or three other men with clubs jump in among the dogs. Two minutes later the last of the dogs was chased away. But Curly lay dead in the snow, her body torn almost to pieces. Curly?s death often came back to Buck in his dreams. He understood that once a dog was down on the ground, he was dead. He also remembered Spitz laughing, and from that moment he hated him.
Then Buck had another surprise. Franois put a harness on him. Buck had seen harnesses on horses, and now he was made to work like a horse with Spitz and Dave, who had worked in a harness before, and Buck learnt by watching them. He also learnt to stop and turn when Franois shouted.
“Those three are very good dogs,” Franois told Perrault. “Buck pulls very well, and he?s learning quickly.” Perrault had important letters and official papers to take to Dawson City, so that afternoon he bought two more dogs, two brothers called Billee and Joe.
That night Buck discovered another problem. Where was he going to sleep? Franois and Perrault were in their tent, but when he went in, they shouted angrily and threw things at him. Outside it was very cold and windy. He lay down in the snow, but he was too cold to sleep.
He walked around the tents trying to find the other dogs. But, to his surprise, they had disappeared. Suddenly, the snow under his feet fell in, and he felt something move. There, in a warm hole under the snow, was Billee.
So that was what you had to do. Buck chose a place, dug himself a hole and in a minute he was warm and asleep. He slept well, although his dreams were bad.

When he woke up, at first he did not know where he was. It had snowed in the night and the snow now lay thick and heavy above him. Growling, he threw himself at the snow, and a moment later, he had jumped upwards into the daylight.
Franois and Perrault bought three more dogs that morning, and a quarter of an hour later all the dogs were in harness and on their way up the Dyea Canyon. Buck was not sorry to be moving, and although it was hard work, he almost enjoyed it.

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw tears in his eyes. I handed him his glasses and he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school.
We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Graduation day arrived — I saw Kyle and he looked great. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was

one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you?ll be great!”
He looked at me with one of those looks. “Thanks,” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years, your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach… but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.”
I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn?t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.”
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not

until that moment did I realize its depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person?s life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other?s lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.
“Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.”

Honduran authorities dedicated to the protection of children and adolescents have undertaken a campaign to protect youngsters who beg on the streets. In the capital of Tegucigalpa alone, the effort has resulted in the rescue of 350 children, city officials say. The Honduran Institute of Childhood and Family, together with the police and the district attorney, carry out operations around the country to rescue the children and punish the parents. “Many children are used for begging,” said Nora Urbina, special prosecutor for children?s issues. “Many children are rented and that is precisely what we want to punish, because Article 170 of the Juvenile Penal Code sets a penalty of up to 6 years in detention.” Those children who were rescued and taken to the Honduran Institute of Childhood and Family and then handed over to their parents with the promise that their rights will be protected. Parents who allow their children to be exploited in this way face, in addition to as many as 6 years in prison, the equivalent of a $500 fine.

A campaign is getting underway in Italy to take back large stretches of the country?s beaches from private bathing clubs, which usually charge to use them. This has been a summer of discontent because despite government efforts, an entire coastline has been monopolized by profiteering bathing clubs. Italy has some of the Europe?s finest beaches, but they are often buried under a mountain of deck chairs and umbrellas. The government says the state owns the shorelines and swimming should be free.
