The bird and the tree are friends．The bird often sings songs in the tree．Autumn comes．The bird has to fly to the south．Spring comes.The bird comes back，but she can't see the tree．Grass tell her some workers cut the tree down and took him to a factory．Then the bird flies to the factory．The workers told her they cut the tree into wood．They used the wood to make matches．Then they took the matches to a village．The bird flies to the village and sees a girl used the last match to make the fire．The bird sings a sad song to the fire．

    The traffic lights are the same in every country．There are always three lights red．yellow and green．Red means“Stop”．Yellow means“Wait”, and green means“Go”．In China, drivers drive on the right side of the road．In the US，drivers drive on the right side，too．In England and Australia，however, drivers drive on the left side of the road．If you go by car，by bike or on foot，you must know the traffic rules．

    How does a plant grow?

    Look at the pot plant. It looks very nice. It has leaves, a stalk and some red flowers. How does it grow? First you plant a seed in the soil. You give it a little water. The weather is nice and warm. After about a week, you will see one small leaf coming out of the seed. Then two leaves come out. It grows and grows. It needs sunlight and water. Soon it has a stalk and more leaves. The leaves are green. Some leaves are long; some are round. They have different shapes. When the stalk and leaves are big enough, flowers come out. You can find red flowers, yellow flowers and flowers of other colors. It's interesting to watch a plant grow. Do you grow like a plant?
