Jack and Eason were walking through the forest. They knew that it was dangerous to do this because many wild animals live in the forest. As friends, they agreed that they would stay together and help each other if there was any danger.

    All of a sudden, they saw a large bear running toward them. Jack climbed a nearby tree. He didn't think about his friend at all.

    Unluckily, Eason did not know how to climb. He could only lie down on the ground. He held his breath and pretended(假装) to be dead.

    The bear came close to Eason. He smelled the man for a moment and left. You see, bears do not eat dead animals or people.

    After the bear walked away, Jack climbed down and went to Eason on the ground.

    "Are you okay? Did the bear hurt you? If only you could climb a tree," he said, not knowing that he didn't' follow their agreement(约定).

    Eason then answered, "Do you know what the bear told me? He told me do not believe afalse friend!"

    Long ago, there was a queen who lived in a palace. She felt bored and said to her advisor (顾问):

    "All the things around me are too boring. I need a different kind of beauty. Let everyone know that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world. And the prize will be this crown(王冠)."

    Several days later, lots of people came to the competition and showed their things. The queen was not satisfied with what she saw. The advisor suggested, "What you are looking for cannot be brought to you. You must look for it by yourself. What about a journey?"

    The queen was interested in the idea, so she started immediately. As she was on top of the hill near her palace, she looked down and suddenly something cried in her heart, "Why have I never found my palace so beautiful?"

    The queen spent one year travelling. She saw beauty on the farm, in the forest and even in the stars twinkling (闪烁)at night on her journey. But what was the most beautiful thing? She thought it over. Suddenly, she under- stood beauty was everywhere. She should learn to enjoy the world. She left the pieces of her crown at different places that she had seen. As time went by, the queen's crown got smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

    She found the most beautiful thing at last. It was the world!

A kind of Happiness in Rongjiang—Watching "Cun Chao"

It's Sunday afternoon and the weather is sunny and hot, My friends and I are in a large and beautiful park. We' re having a good time. 

Jack and Tom are swinging. Steve, Alice, John and Tim are playing hide-and-seek (捉迷藏). Rose, Mary and Lisa are skipping (跳绳). They re good at skipping. Susan is reading a book. Tina and Kate are chasing after my pet dog. They 're running around happily. 

We can see a lot of people in the park. Some are running and some are walking slowly. Look!

A boy and a girl are drawing pictures. Their parents are sitting next to them. They' re talking about something. 

Everyone is having a good time in the park. The park is a great place to have fun. 

On a hot day，Dog finds a tent on the beach."Cool! "he says."Now I can stay away from （躲避） the hot sun."And he walks inside. 

"Hey，Mouse!Come and see the tent I find，"says Dog. 

"Thank you!It is a great place to stay away from the hot sun，"says Mouse，and he walks into the tent. 

"Hey，Cat!"call Dog and Mouse."Come and see our tent.It is a nice place.""Thanks，"says Cat when he walks inside.

"Hello，Elephant!"say Dog，Mouse，Cat and Chicken."We would like to ask you to come into our tent，but there is no more room.We are very sorry." 

"I am sorry for you，"says Elephant."You see，this is not a tent.It is my hat.""Oh，"says Dog."We will look for a tent somewhere else.""That's OK，friends， "says Elephant."We can share （分享）it! "
