I am Danny. There are four people in my family. My father, my mother, my sister and me. Last Sunday was a fine day. My family went to the Zhongshan Park by subway. We went hiking in the park. At first, all of four were happy and excited. Father is stronger than all of us, so he took many things in his bag. We played games, sang songs and danced in the park. But suddenly, my sister fell down. Her leg hurt. At last, she had to go to see the doctor. We were sad in the end.

    Mr. White lives in the countryside with his wife, Mrs. White. From Monday to Friday he works in a small office near his house. He is free on Saturdays and Sundays. He has a nice garden near his house. He likes growing flowers and he usually works in the garden on Saturdays and Sundays. The flowers are colourful and beautiful. Mrs. White likes them very much. She often helps Mr. White. They live happily together.

Cao Chong weighs the elephant

    When we want to know how much we weigh, we stand on a scale. But when something is very big, like an elephant, how do we weigh it? A long time ago, the famous warlord, Cao Cao, faced this question.

    One day, Cao Cao received an elephant as a gift. "What a big animal! How much does it weigh?" Cao Cao asked. No one could answer his question because no scale was big enough.

    Cao Cao's six-year-old son Cao Chong said, "Father, let me try!"

    Cao Chong asked a man to get the elephant onto a boat on a river. The boat went down a little, and Cao Chong marked the water level on the boat.  He then asked some strong men to put rocks on the boat.  When the water reached the mark, Cao Chong said, "Stop!"

    "Let's weigh these rocks, and add their weights together. Then we'll know the weight of the elephant," said Cao Chong.

    Finally, they found out the weight of the elephant. Cao Cao was very happy.
