　　小学英语阅读：The Old Street Lamp

　　There once was an old street lamp standing on a remote corner of a town. The street lamp was worn out because he stayed up all night for several years to shine in a dark street. That‘s why he had to be replaced by a new lamp. It was the last night that the street lamp shone over the side street. He was an old kerosene lamp.

　　The old street lamp burned himself as hard as he could since he thought it was his last night. “I have seen a lot of things since I stood here.” The old street lamp looked back upon what he had seen for a long time. There were pleasant memories， and also sad memories， with those he could hardly keep from tears.

　　Suddenly the old street lamp sensed that there who were looking up at him. “Mr. Street Lamp， we heard that you will retire from your job.” “Please hire me after you.” “No， hire me.” They were a head of a herring， a tree fragment and a firefly. The head of a herring glowed in the dark， and the tree fragment was bright in the dark when he was wet.

　　The old street lamp looked down and said， “I am sorry say this， but you both are not bright enough to be a street light.” The three were angry about it. “Hum！ You， old useless street lamp！ You don’t have to care about which of us will replace you！” They said this and went back.

　　The Next day， a janitor came to clear the old street lamp away. “Oh， I wish I can stay here.” No one knew what the old lamp would become if he were broken to pieces. The old street lamp worried about this very much.

　　There were a good old man and a woman. They were living around the old street lamp. They used to turn on and put out the old street lamp at night and dawn.
