Once upon a time, a little fish lived in a pond. But she wanted to go to the forest. The pond was deep, and high banks keep it from the view of the forest. Wanting to see the forest, the fish would jump out of water now and then, reaching 1 over the pond with the strength of her tail. It seemed to her that, with a little more effort, she could fly, but unfortunately each time she would fall right back into the 2.

    The fish's mother—a big fish with kind eyes would 3, “What would you want the forest for? We fish must live in water, and that is the way it is.”

    The fish would answer, “I want to go to the forest and that is my 4. And it must come true.”

    So she went to the little fairy(仙子) who had been friends with her for her whole life and pleaded(恳求), “Oh little fairy! I have been living in the water all the time. Now I am 5 my small world. I want to see those big trees covered with beautiful flowers, leaves and fruits. I want to meet 6 and animals.”

    To make her friend happy, the little fairy swung her little wand(魔杖). The rain started falling on the earth, and a few days later, the forest around the pond was covered with water,

    7 the small pond into a lake. The fish swam to the forest. How 8 it was! The fish was very excited because her dream would come true soon.

    “Hello,” the fish said to the flowers and the trees. She 9 on and saw animals sitting on fallen trees which were sticking out of the water. But as soon as she swam closer to the trees, she saw that all the animals were very sad. “We are without 10. The water has flooded the whole forest,” the animals told the fish 11. All this made the fish very unhappy.

    “I am 12 with this rain but my friends—trees and animals are quite unhappy. Oh little fairy! Please 13 the rain. I will go back to my pond. I will be more pleased when trees, animals and birds are happy,” pleaded the fish. The water began to 14 , and the animals were very glad and ran off, and the fish 15 to the pond and she was happier than ever before.

    The art of happiness is to serve all. To be really happy, we must think not only of how we can help ourselves, but how we can help others.

    In 1987, Kierman was competing in an around-the world race when he began to 1 the huge amount of rubbish in the world's oceans.  When he returned to Australia, he 2 to do something about it.

    He organized a community 3 called "Clean Up Sydney Harbour". On Sunday, January 8, 1989, more than 40,000 volunteers came out to 4away rubbish. The next year, Kierman made the clean-up a national event. It was a huge 5 Across Australia, about 300,000 people spent the day improving their local 6.

    Since then, "Clean Up Australia" has got 7every year. In 2002, for example, 800,000 people cleaned up almost 15,000 tons of rubbish from Australia's beaches, parks and streets.

    Kierman was 8 with the success of his project. In 2003, he started an even bigger program. With the9 of the United Nations Environment Program, he introduced "Clean Up the World", an international program that supports communities around the world in cleaning up and protecting the environment.

    When I had something difficult to do, I liked to ask my mother for 1. But she always said, "Do it yourself, dear." I was not happy about this at all. I thought she was the 2mother I had ever seen!

For example, one day, I decided to3some friends to my home. My bedroom was not in order. Books were4, and I didn't make the bed. I asked my mother to help me clean it, but she 5said, "Do it yourself."

    Because of my "lazy mother", I had to6my clothes and clean my room. I had to help my parents do7. I even had to go to the doctor by myself. It was really difficult for me to do a good job, but I have 8 a lot.

    As time goes by, I start to understand my mother. She made 9clever and hard-working. A 10mother is worth 100 teachers! Do you think so?
