Madan was able to make clothes. And he was famous for the clothes. The people in the whole town wanted the clothes. One night, Madan said, "I am sure I can 1 a dress for the moon. I will be famous on the moon too."

    The wind carried his 2 to the coconut(椰子) tree. The tree said, "You can't do one thing."

    The coconut tree 3 to say something more, but Madan would not 4.

    Madan made a dress for the moon. He called out to the coconut tree, "You must give this dress to the moon, because I cannot 5 her." The coconut tree agreed.    Soon the coconut tree said, "The moon 6 your dress is too big."

    Madan was 7, but the moon really returned the dress to him. So he had to redo(重做) it. He spent the night making the dress a little 8 and gave it back to the tree. But the moon gave it back to him 9.

    "I tried to tell you about it before," said the tree. "After the moon is full, she grows smaller each day until you can't 10 her at all. So how can you make one dress that would fit the moon?"

    My mum is in her seventies. She has 1 a lot. She has faced challenges and seen both successes and failures.

    Recently I asked her to give me three pieces of 2. After several minutes, she said that she needed some time to think about it. This 3 me because she'd always been ready with advice.

    The next day, she gave me a piece of paper with three pieces of advice. She said that these were the 4 that she could come up with. She didn't tell me to save 5 for a better life or work hard. What she told me gave me another 6. Here's the advice my mother 7 wrote for me.

◆Make each day meaningful by 8 someone, or just making that person smile.

◆Don't 9 about life's troubles but remember the good times.

◆Don't worry about things you can't do anything about.

    Everyone 10 someone to give a hand to. My mum is that person in my life. The advice she gave me has made me the person who I'm today.

The first International Basketball Expo（IBE）（国际篮球博览会） is from November 8th to 12th，2023，in Fujian. In the Basketball Expo，we can see great love for the sport. 

Song Yihong loves basketball very much. He is 11 years old now. He plays basketball for 6 years. At first，he does this sport because he wants to be tall（高的）. "I'm too short. I'm not happy about that. And my mother wants me to keep healthy，so I play basketball. "He plays basketball every Thursday and Friday evening，and also Sunday afternoon. 

At first，he finds it difficult but now he thinks it interesting and useful. He thanks his P. E. teacher and friends very much because they give him much help. He thinks he is ready（准备好的） to meet difficult things because basketball helps him to be strong（强壮的）. 

"I know many students love basketball too，but they think it's not easy. Don't be afraid（害怕的）. Just play and you can have fun!"

Mother's Day is always a fun time at my house every year. This year is no exception. My brother and I want our mom to feel 1 by giving her a day off from family chores. In the morning，I woke up before everyone else to hang up a poster that 2   "Happy Mother's Day！"My dad also got up early and helped set up a rose bouquet in a vase. 

When my mom woke up，she read cards we 3 out next to her bed with a big smile. While she was watching the morning news with my dad，it was time to 4 my cooking skills. 

I made some delicious food with my brother's help. My mom and I love board games，so after a short 5 around the neighborhood，we played all of her favorites. In my family，playing a fun board game turns into a big 6 and can become very heated. One of us always becomes a loser after being beaten in the game. The afternoon games made all of us tired. A delicious takeout dinner from my mom's favorite restaurant 7 us. The festivities 8 with icecream and more quality family time，while watching one of my mom's favorite movies from her teenage years. 

It was such a 9 day，and it was great to be able to show my mom how much we appreciate her and thank her for what she does for our 10 . Mother's Day should be every day.
