An elephant and a monkey were arguing (争论).

    “Look, how big and strong I am!” The elephant said.

    The monkey didn't agree, “Look, how fast I can run and climb! Can you?”

    At last they asked a clever tiger, “Which is better—to be strong or to be quick?”

    The tiger said, “Go across the river and pick the fruit on that tree for me, then I can tell.”

    So they went to the river, but the water ran fast and the monkey was afraid.

    “Get on my back,” said the elephant proudly (自豪地), “I shall carry you.”

    Soon they crossed the river. There stood the tree. But the fruit was too high for the elephant to reach. He tried to pull the tree down, but failed.

    “Don't worry.” The monkey climbed quickly up the tree, and picked the fruit.

    Then they came back and gave the tiger the fruit. “Which is better — to be strong or to be quick?”

    The tiger smiled, “Both of you could not get the fruit alone. It took both the elephant's strength and the monkey's quickness to get it.”

    Once Mr. King had a cat, and he loved it very much. He called it "Sky", because he thought "Sky" was the strongest (最强的) name in the world.

    One day he had a meal at a restaurant with his cat. He met his old friend. He told him about his lovely cat and its name. His friend said, "How silly you are! Sky is not the strongest thing in the world. My cat is called ‘Cloud' because cloud is stronger than sky." After hearing this, Mr. King called his cat "Wind" because he thought wind was stronger than cloud.

    After a few days he suddenly (突然) thought that "Wall" was stronger than wind. And "Mouse" was stronger than the wall. So he went to his friend to ask for an idea. His friend said, "Don't you think 'Cat' is stronger than the mouse?" "Yes, but…"

    The man thought and thought and then decided his cat's name had better be "Cat" because a mouse was always afraid of a cat. Don't you think Mr. King is very silly or funny?

I can't remember whether I was nine or ten years old. I remember that it was the last day of my 4-H camp. I was looking in the mirror and checking my face for bruises（瘀伤）. The day before, for some silly reason, I had a fight with another boy. My head was still sore. We hadn't talked since the fight, but only stared（盯） coldly at each other. 

Still, I was in a good mood（心情） in the morning because I knew my mom was bringing some of her homemade pizzas as a treat for my brother, me, and our friends. Soon, I saw her walking towards our room. She had been bringing these pizzas to us every 4-H camp for years. I saw her smile as my brother and his friends all picked up the big pieces. She saved the last two pieces for me. I thanked her with a smile and started to eat when I saw that boy standing off to the side by himself. At that moment, something moved my heart. I walked over to him and gave him one of the pieces. We talked, laughed and ate. And for some reason that I didn't understand at the time, the pizza tasted better than ever before. 

I can see now what moved my heart: A little miracle（奇迹） was working inside me. It was moving me to forgive（原谅）, to give, and to love. And I'm so happy that I followed that guidance. 

May you forgive, give, and love. And may your pizzas always taste delicious. 

Bruce is a boy from the UK. He has a pet 1 called Floppy. Bruce plays with Floppy every day. They are like good friends. They are 2 to each other. 

It's Tuesday morning. Bruce has a sore throat (喉痛) and can't 3 a word. 

"Bruce isn't 4 now," Bruce's mom says. "He lost his voice (声音)."

"Let" s take him to the doctor," Bruce's dad says. 

"Can I help Bruce 5 his voice?" Bruce's dog Floppy thinks. 

Bruce and his parents go to see the doctor, and Floppy comes to Bruce's 6 . He first looks at the table and sees a phone on it. Then, the phone rings (响起铃声). Floppy gets the phone, and a voice says, "7 ? Is that Bruce?"

"Oh, Bruce's voice isn't here," Floppy thinks. 

Then, he8 the bookcase. He sees some books and a black CD player. 

"Is Bruce's voice in it?" Floppy thinks. Then he plays the CD, but there is no voice. 

"Where is Bruce's voice? Is it under the bed?" Floppy thinks and goes on looking for it. 

At this time, Bruce comes home with his 9 and he feels much better now. 

"Floppy. I'm back," Bruce calls. 

"Haha, Bruce found his voice, "Floppy thinks and runs to Bruce happily. They can play10 again.
