The crowd at the airport rushed forward. The passengers had been waiting for a couple of hours for an airport worker to open the door leading to the plane outside. No one was in a good mood. An old man got stuck in the middle of the rush, He fell down and his head hit the hard floor. B1ood came out of his head. He appeared to be unconscious. Everyone rushed past him, except for Dana. She called for help.

 A minute later, a young airport worker showed up. Hardly looking at the old man, she told Dana to get on her plane. She said the old man would be okay, and walked away.

 Dana cried for help. Another airport worker appeared. He told Dana to get on the plane. Dana said that she was not moving until an ambulance(救护车) arrived. The worker said her plane would leave without her. Dana said that she didn't care.

 An ambulance with a doctor and a nurse finally arrived. They put him into the ambulance and drove off.

On her way out to the plane, which was still refueling(加油), Dana saw the worker who didn't care about the old man at the very beginning. The worker said, “You're lucky the plane didn't leave without you.”

 “The plane?” Dana asked.“Who cares about the plane? How could you be so cold? That was an old man; he could have been your grandfather! How would you like it if everyone just stepped over your grandfather and went on their way?”

    Long time ago, there were two friends working for the King（国王）. One boy wanted to give his sick（生病的） younger sister something to make her happy.

    One day, he walked with his friend in the garden, and he saw the beautiful flowers. He took one to his sister, thinking that no one would see him do so. He did the same thing the next day, and the next, and the next……. One day, the King noticed few flowers were left. He was so angry（生气的） that he called everyone to get together.

When they were all before the King, the boy thought he should tell King that he took the flowers. But his friend told him to be quiet, because the King would be very angry with him. The boy was very afraid, but when the King came near, he decided to tell the King what he did.

    When the King knew why the boy picked the flowers, he smiled （微笑） and said, "I couldn't think of a better use for my flowers." From that day, the boy and the King took two of those beautiful flowers every day, one for the boy's sister, and the other for the Queen（女王）.

Huaguxi (花鼓戏) is a form of Chinese opera. It started in Hunan Province. Some other provinces, such as Hubei, Anhui, Henan, Shanxi, also have Huaguxi.

Originating (起源) from songs, Huaguxi dates back to as early as the Qing Dynasty. 在当时，花鼓戏演员主要是农民。They dressed up in colorful clothes with their faces painted, singing and dancing along the street. It was only popular in the countryside, leading to the development of Huaguxi as a theatrical form.

The interesting story with songs and dance began during the early 19th century. At that time, there were only two roles: chou (a man clown) and dan (a young girl), both played by a man. In the 1860s, more roles, including dan, chou and sheng (a handsome young man) were playing and the performance had developed a lot. Women players were allowed in the early 20th century.

Huaguxi has developed quickly since 1949. The most typical Hunan Huaguxi has been provided with about 300 kinds of melodies (曲调). Moreover, a large number of traditional works have been adapted (改编). At the same time, plenty of modern dramas have been created. Huaguxi has improved a lot with the help of the artists who love Chinese culture.
