"Listen carefully to what I say," the time traveler said, "I shall tell you something that you will not agree."

"Why will we not agree?" I asked.

"Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct," he said. "You believe there are only three dimensions(三维空间)-length, breadth(宽) and thickness."

"There is nothing to argue with that, " the youngest member of our little group said.

"Exactly!" the time traveler answered, "But there is also a fourth dimension - time."

"We all know about time, " another member of the group said. "Time passed."

"I do not agree," the time traveler said, "Length, breadth and thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space. We move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in breadth, length and thickness."

None of us believed the time traveler, and we argued with him for many hours.

"If we could travel back in time," the scientist said, "We could do things to change the future."

"If we could travel forward in time," the doctor(博士) said, "we could do things that change our present."

The time traveler smiled, "It is clear," he said, "that there is only one way I can show you that I am right. We must do an experiment. Please wait here."

He left the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock.

"This is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it," the time traveler said. "I want all of you to understand that when I start the machine, it will immediately travel in time and disappear from the present."

He turned to the youngest of all. "Give me your hand," he said.

The young man put out his hand. The time traveler took it and placed it on the machine. Immediately, there was a sudden wind, and the little machine disappeared.

I was certain this was not a trick, but the doctor was not so sure.

"Are you asking us to believe," he said, "that the machine is now in a different time?"

"Certainly! In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?"

"Are you serious about this?" the doctor asked.

"I have never been more serious about anything," the time traveler said, "Come."

    There was a beautiful garden. Every year the king would go to the garden to decide which flower was the most beautiful one.
For the last few years, the rose was always Number One. Because of this, the rose Gulaab became arrogant. It would never let birds stay on its flower. Then all the birds started staying away from Gulaab.
    Behind Gulaab, there was a little yellow flower. People called it Junglee. Junglee wasn't more beautiful than Gulaab, but it welcomed the birds to stay on its flower. All the birds in the garden liked it.
    This year the king went to the garden as before. The gardener pointed at the rose and said to the king, “ Your favourite flower, my king.”
Of course, the king also saw the yellow flower behind it and asked, “What flower is that?”
“Oh! That's Junglee, a wild flower.”
    “ I didn't see a flower like it before. There are so many birds on it. I think it's much more beautiful than the rose. It will be the King Flower of this year!” said the king.

An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside river. They were disputing which was the better animal。

"Look at my strength," said the elephant. "I can pull up a tree, roots and all, with my trunk"

"Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine," replied the crocodile." No knife or tooth can cut through it."

Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.

"My dear friends!" said the King of all animals, going up to them. "Let me know the cause of your disagreement."

"Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal?" cried both at once.

Certainly, "said the lion, pointing across the river." Do you see the soldiers metal hat on that wall?"

"Yes!" replied the beasts.

"Well, then," continued the lion, "go and get it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you."

Upon hearing this, off they started. The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall.

Here he waited till the elephant came up. The elephant, seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal, raised his long trunk, and took down the hat quite easily.

They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom. The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet. The King took it up, and turning to the elephant, said:

"You, because of your size and trunk, were able to reach the hat on the wall but, having lost it, you were unable to get it back. And you, said the lion to the crocodile, "although unable to reach the hat, were able to dive for it and save it. You are both wise and able in your own ways. One is no better than the other."
