There's nothing you can do！”To them he replied with one line，“Are you going to help me now？”And then he kept on digging.No one helped, however.

You promised, No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you！You did it, Dad！”“What's going on in there? How is it？”the father asked.“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle, and it saved us.”“Come out, boy！”“No, Dad!

Other First Ladies have made the history books on their own.At least two First Ladies, Bess Truman and Lady Bird Johnson, made it their business to send signals during their husbands' speeches. When Lady Bird Johnson thought her husband was talking too long, she wrote a note and sent it up to the platform. It read, “It's time to stop ! ” And he did. Once Bess Truman didn't like what her husband was saying on television, so she phoned him and said, “If you can't talk more politely than that in public, you come right home. ”It was First Lady Helen Taft's idea to plant the famous cherry trees in Washington, DC. Each spring these blossoming trees attract thousands of visitors to the nation's capital. Mrs. Taft also influenced the male members of her family and the White House staff in a strange way: she convinced(说服)them to shave off their beards(胡须)!Shortly after President Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke (中风), Edith Wilson unofficially took over most of the duties of the Presidency until the end of her husband's term. Earlier, during World War I, Mrs. Wilson had sheep brought onto the White House lawn to eat the grass. The sheep not only kept the lawn cut but provided wool for an auction(拍卖) held by the First Lady. Almost$ 100,000 was raised for the Red Cross.One of the most famous First Ladies was Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of President Franklin DRoosevelt. She was active in political and social causes throughout her husband's term in office. After his death, she became famous for her humanitarian(人道主义的) work in the United Nations. She made life better for thousands of needy people around the world.21Why have First Ladies been remembered?AThey are the wives of the presidents.
