It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend “Bingo”. He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to “buy him” to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his week's wage to keep Bingo supplied with chocolate that in the end he had to move somewhere else.

Some couples choose not to learn the sex of their baby before he or she is born because the moment people hear "boy" or "girl" they begin to make assumptions (设想) about a child. One couple in Sweden decided to take that logic a few steps further, and are refusing to tell anyone whether their child is a boy or a girl. The child–called Pop, to protect his or her identity–is now two years old, and only a few close relatives know the sex. “We want Pop to grow up more freely, Pop’s mother said. Pop wears dresses, and also “male” styled pants and Pop’s hairstyle. changes often. Nordenstrom, who studies hormonal (荷尔蒙) influences on gender, says, “It will affect the child, but it’s hard to say if it will hurt the development. I don’t know what they are trying to achieve. It’s going to make the child different.” She says if Pop is still “genderless(无性的)by the time he or she starts school, Pop will certainly receive a lot of attention from classmates.“We don’t know exactly what determines sexual identity, but it’s not only sexual education,” says Nordenstrom.“Gender-typical behavior, sexual preferences and sexual identity usually go together. There are hormonal and other influences that we don’t know that will determine the gender of the child.” Pop will soon welcome a brother, or a sister. Pop’s parents will not reveal sex of that child, either, except, perhaps, to Pop.
