Huang Qingyun spends her life telling stories to children. Now though she is in her nineties, she has no plans to stop.

    "I did this for children, from the first day I started to write stories. I am old now, but I still want to go on telling stories to children," Huang said.

    Born in Guangzhou in 1920. Huang spent her childhood in Hong Kong and her favourite hobby was making up stories for her elder sister.

    In 1935, Huang went to university and studied Chinese. During this period, she was greatly influenced by the well-known Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi and decided to become a primary school teacher. However, instead of being a teacher. Huang found another way to educate children. During World War Ⅱ, Huang often told stories to homeless children at the Little Children Society, a charity (慈善机构) set up by a professor from the University of Hong Kong.

    Huang also started a column (专栏) called "Sister Yun's Mail Box" in Xin Er Tong, a children's magazine set up in Hong Kong in 1941. From then, Huang officially started writing and created a large number of stories for children. Huang spent about 30 years at the magazine working as chief editor (主编) in Guangzhou.

    Huang retired in 1987. She moved to Hong Kong and went on creating stories for children, including I Love Hong Kong, Children from Hong Kong and Shoes Brothers.

    "What l wrote were all for children, and for me, writing fairy tales is my favourite," Huang said.

    There are three brothers in the pop group "The Bright Shiners"：Harold Fisher, Roger Fisher and Dove Fisher. Harold is the boy who formed the group a year ago and he is the leader now. He plays the piano. Roger plays the lead guitar and Dove is the drummer. Then there is Pete Lennox, their cousin. He is the only member of the group who has had much experience. He played the guitar and sang with "The Tower of London" for three years. Alex Clark and Clive Hicks play the trumpet(喇叭). Robert Lester is the boy who has helped the group most. He was born in Chile and he can play five different Andean instruments. Geoffrey Baker plays the harp(竖琴). Bill Blake isn't a musician, but he is an important member of the group. He looks after their electronic equipment.

    One evening Mr Black was driving his car around the country. He wanted to find a small hotel. Then he saw an old man at the side of the road. He stopped his car and said to the old man, "I want to go to the Sun Hotel. Do you know it?" "Yes, "the old man answered. "I'll show you the way."

    He got into Mr Black's car, and they drove about 12 miles. When they came to a small house, the old man said, "Stop here."

    Mr Black stopped and looked at the house. "But this isn't the hotel, "he said to the old man.

    "No," the old man answered. "This is my house. And I'll show you the way to the Sun Hotel. Turn around and go back nine miles. Then you'll see the Sun Hotel on the left."
