    Long, long ago there lived a king. He was very old and he had no children. So he wanted to select a new king in the country.

    One day, the king asked his ministers to give all the children in the country some flower seeds and told them who can plant the most beautiful flowers will be the king.

    A child named David planted the seeds and looked after them carefully. But day after day, no flowers came out from the basin. He was very disappointed.

    It was time to show the most beautiful flowers. The children from all over the country came with their beautiful flowers.

    The king walked in front of the children. When he saw the beautiful flowers, he was very unhappy.

    Suddenly, he saw a child carrying an empty basin. He was very glad and asked the boy,” Why do you carry an empty basin? ” The boy cried and told him the truth.

    The king laughed,” You are an honest boy. You will be the future king.” In fact, the seeds had been boiled.

    Mary is twenty. She is a worker. She works in a glass factory in London. Mary doesn't live with her parents. Mary doesn't work on Sunday. She usually gets up early. She doesn't like staying at home. After breakfast, she often drives her red car to see her friend, Jane. Jane is a doctor. She lives with her parents near London. Mary drives to Jane's house for about forty minutes. There they talk about their jobs, their families and their friends. Then in the afternoon, they often go shopping. They have a good time!

    Most kids like animals. Some girls like cats, and some boys like dogs. However, my favourite animal is the horse.

    Horses are strong. They look wild and run very fast. They are very friendly after they get to know you. Horses remember the way home. They are also helpful to people. They even understand what you are trying to tell them. I heard many stories about how a horse saved his master's(主人的) life. That's also the reason why I love horses.
