I’m Mia. Nothing is cuter than my dog, Marley. He sleeps near my bed at night and gives me kisses every morning. He gets sad when I leave for school. But he’s always there waiting when I get home, ready to go for a walk or play a game.

On a Christmas Eve, Marley walked with my family and me to a store in our New York neighborhood. My mom tied him up outside. When we came out of the store, Marley had gone. My mom called the police to report that he had been stolen. We couldn’t find him anywhere. I was very sad. It was the worst Christmas Eve ever.

That night, I didn’t sleep well. My cat seemed to know I was sad and hugged to make me feel better. On Christmas morning, I woke up and called for Marley. Then I remembered that he had gone.

Even though it was Christmas, I didn’t want presents. I didn’t want anything, except my friend.

Then my mom got a phone call. Someone found him! A nice woman saw a man on the street trying to sell a scared dog. She felt bad for the dog and used her own money (more than $200) to buy him. She took him to a vet (兽医). The vet scanned (扫描) the dog for a microchip (芯片). The vet found our phone number in the microchip and called my mom.

“I could see a huge flow (流动) of water, coming down fast from very high. I had no idea of shape, or situation, or anything. It was just so big.”

These are the words of the great English writer Charles Dickens. He wrote them when he was visiting Niagara Falls. This waterfall is on the border (边界) of the United States and Canada. It is one of the largest in the world, and the largest in North America.

Niagara Falls is on the Niagara River. The river divides just before the waterfall, and there are actually three waterfalls. On the American side are American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Horseshoe Falls is mostly on the Canadian side. The name comes from its shape — like a horseshoe, in a half circle. Horseshoe Falls is the widest of the three.

People mainly know about Niagara Falls because of its size and natural beauty. However, the Niagara River is also an important source (0) of electricity.

In the 1890s, the Westinghouse Electric Company built a large power system (电力系统) on the river. Many other companies also hoped to use the land for factories and power systems. However, around the same time, many people began to work to protect the natural area. Soon, the governments of the United States and Canada got involved with it. They protected the land around Niagara Falls. They made parks — green, natural areas. No one could buy this land for factories.

For hundreds of years, millions of people have visited Niagara Falls to enjoy its beauty.
