Do you remember when your grandma told you the story of Snow White? Ah, the happy days of childhood! But did you know that Snow White comes from Germany? It's just one story from the 209 in Grimm's Fairy Tales (《格林童话》).
The Grimm brothers started to collect fairy tales in 1806. Their first book came out (出版) in 1812. Why are German fairy tales so interesting? Maybe it's because they come from a great place famous for its stories – the Black Forest.
The Black Forest is in southwest Germany. It's the largest forest in the country – and one of the most beautiful. It's famous for its trees and lovely views. There are valleys and waterfalls (瀑布) there. It's a good place to start a story.
Don't forget to bring something back if you visit. People there are good at making clocks, musical instruments and watches.
How The Little Kite Learned To Fly? By Katherine Pyle "I never can do it," the little kite said, As he looked at the others high over his head. "I know I should fall if I tried to fly." "Try, "said the big kite, "only try! Or I fear you never will learn at all." But the little kite said, "I'm afraid I'll fall." The big kite said, "Ah, well, good-bye; I am off." And he rose towards the sky. Then the little kite's paper stirred(微动). And he shook himself free for flight. First whirling(回旋) and scared, then bravery grown, Up, up he rose through the air alone, While far below he could see the ground, And the boys like small ants moving round. "Oh, how happy I am!" the little kite cried. "And all because I was brave and tried." |
