    Life（生活）was different in my grandpa's hometown many years ago.

    In the past, people cooked on a fire. They didn't have TVs or radios. There were no buses. They had to live in small houses. They didn't have enough food.

    Now, there are lots of buses and cars in Grandpa's hometown. They live in big houses or buildings. They cook with natural gas（天然气）and have lots of food. They can use mobile phones（手机）. They even have computers and use the Internet.

    There is a frog(青蛙). He lives in a well(井) and he never(从未) goes out of the well. He thinks the sky is as big as the mouth of the well. One day a crow (乌鸦)comes to the well. He sees the frog and say, “Frog, let's have a talk.” Then the frog asks, “Where are you from?” “I fly from the sky,” the crow says. The frog feels surprised (惊讶)and says, “The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. How do you fly from the sky?” The crow says, “The sky is very big. You always stay in the well, so you don't know the world is big.” The frog says, “I don't believe (相信).”But he crow says,“ You can come out and have a look by yourself.” So the frog comes out from the well. He is very surprised. How big the world is!
