George was a quiet, serious young man. He had been studying very hard for one year, and when he passed all his exams, his friend Jim went to give him his congratulations and then had an earnest talk with him.

  “You've never been to a dance, George.” he said. “It's boring always studying and never enjoying oneself. Come out with me this evening.”

  “Maybe you're right, Jim,” replied George after a moment of hesitation.

    So they went to a dance and had a very good time. But George drank more than he was used to, and by midnight Jim became worried about him, so he said, “now we'll walk home in the cool air.”

    On their way home, they came to a bridge. George looked down at the river below very carefully, the stars were reflected on its surface.

  “What are those lights down there?” George asked.

  “They're the stars, George,” Jim answered.

  “The stars?” George said. “Well, then, they should be above in the sky. How did I get so high up here? They are now at my foot!”

     In the old days, people usually travelled by horse when they wanted to go a long way. A man named Ming lived in the country. One day, his mother said to him, ^"Your uncle is very ill and he needs this medicine. You must take it to him quickly. Your uncle lives in the town. It's a long way from our house. It will take you two days to get there on a horse."

    Ming thought for a minute and said to himself, ^"One horse ...two days. I know what I can do." The he said to his mother "Don't worry, Mum. I'm clever. I think I can get there in one day." Ming ran to the market and bought two horses for his journey.
