A brown duck meets a sad cat and asks him, "Please tell me, OK? I can do a lot of things for you." "Oh, no. You can't." The cat shakes his head and goes away.

    The duck keeps up with the cat and asks him again. The cat cries, "I want to buy some flowers for my mother on Mother's Day. But I can't find the flowers." The duck claps his hands happily, "I see. I can help you."

The duck points to the other side of the river and says, "Look there. There are many beautiful flowers. "So the cat climbs up a tree, "Wow, how beautiful they are!"

    "But I can't swim. How can I get there?" The cat is worried. The duck says, "Don't worry. I can swim. You can just sit on my back."

In the river, the duck tells the cat, "If we help each other, we can do many things."

    I like the weather in Hangzhou. It's not too hot or too cold. In spring, it often rains but it's very warm. People should take their umbrellas with them. In summer, it's hot. Children often eat ice-cream and go swimming. In autumn, it's windy and cool. Children can fly kites in the park with their friends. In winter, it's not so cold. Sometimes it snows. Children can make snowmen.
