There are many animals in the nature park. On the weekend, we go to the nature park with our teacher. Look! Two pandas are climbing trees. Three birds are singing.

Two tigers are playing on the grass. The monkeys are swinging.

    There is a hill in the park. Some students are in the woods. Chen Jie is playing with John. Zhang Peng and Mike are drinking water. Where is Sarah? Oh! She is watching the ants.

    Once there was a rich man. He had a servant (仆人). He and the servant loved wine(酒) and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant drank the wine and ate up the nice food in the house. The rich man wanted to catch his servant doing that.

    One morning,when he left home,he said to the servant,“ Here are two bottles of poison (毒药)and some nice food in the house. You must take care of them.” Then he went out.

    The servant knew the rich man joked（开玩笑）. After the rich man was away from his home, the servant enjoyed a nice meal. He drank too much, and fell to the ground. When the rich man came back,he couldn't find his food or his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up.But the servant told a story. He said a cat ate up everything. He was afraid to be punished,so he drank the poison to kill himself.
