There was once an old and deep well．People got water by dropping a bucket（木桶） tied to a rope．The rope passed over a wheel just above the well．On the other side of the rope was another bucket．

A strong pull brought one bucket to the top while the other down to the water．They always passed each other on the way up and down，but never had time to speak．

At last，the rope became worn．So a new rope had to be put in its place．While this was being done，the two buckets were left standing together near the well．

"What a boring life we have!"said one bucket to the other．"I am quite tired of it．No matter how full we come up，we are always sent down empty．"

But the other bucket laughed and said，"What a funny way you have of looking at things!Don't you see that whenever we are sent down empty，we always come up full？'

Boys and girls sometimes talk like these two buckets．You may hear one of them say，"Just as we are having a good game，we are made to stop and go to work again．""Yes，"the other will reply，"but as soon as work is over，we always get to go out and have fun again．"

There are two ways of looking at things．If you want to be happy，look at the bright side．

There once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, "My goodness! How small it is! It's hairless and toothless! It's a monster!" They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.

"When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth," the king said, "If you don't do this, you'll have a beating."

The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king's order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. "Oh, we shall certainly obey your order," he said, "but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral (矿石) from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years."

At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.
