Ma Liang was a good boy. He helped people. He had a paintbrush. It was magic. This old woman didn't have food. So Ma Liang painted food. Then the food was real. There was a bad man. He didn't help people. He took Ma Liang's magic paintbrush. The bad man didn't have gold. So he painted gold with the magic paintbrush. But it didn't make gold. It made a snake! 

动物园

    I like going to the zoo. Because I can see many animals in the zoo. There are many different animals. Look at the animals. The monkey is climbing a tree. The elephants are drinking water. The panda is eating bamboo. The pig is walking. The horses are running. The koala(考拉)is cute. The bear is funny. The dolphin is smart. The elephant is interesting. The panda is shy and the penguin(企鹅)is friendly. I think the peacock(孔雀)is very beautiful. The lion and the tiger are very strong. I really like to see these animals. Wow, how interesting!

    Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31st, the evening before All Saints' Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

     Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o'-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

     The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

     Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

    An art teacher asks his students to draw pictures. They can draw anything (无论什么东西) they want.

    After a while, a boy hands in(上交) his picture. The teacher looks at it but sees nothing(没有什么东西) on the paper.

    "What do you draw?" the teacher asks.

    "A cow eats grass." the boy answers.

    "But where is the grass?" the teacher asks again.

    "The cow has eaten it up." answers the boy.

    "Where is the cow?"

    "When it eats up the grass, it feels thirsty and goes to drink water."
