    Chulong was unhappy.

    The bird said,“ 4 you set me free, I will tell you three simple but useful rules. I'm sure they will 5 you."

    "But how can I trust (相信) 6 ? You may fly away," said Chulong.

    "I won't," said the bird.

    Chulong set the bird free, and it sat in a tree.

    Now tell me the 7 ，said Chulong.

     “OK,” said the bird. "The first rule is never trust everything others say. The second rule is never be unhappy about 8 you don't have. The third rule is never throw away (扔掉） what you have in your hand'

    You silly bird "shouted Chulong ". Everyone knows these three rules. You cheated (欺骗）me.”

    But the bird said,"Chulong， 9 all your actions today. You had me in your hand but you threw me away. You trusted all I said. And you are unhappy about not having me. Although the rules are simple you never 10 them ". After saying this the bird flew away.

    A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish. So, a zero-waste theme store is about 1 people with a number of everyday, practical and pleasant zero-waste products to help them start on a one-stop, zero-waste life journey.

    "Zero waste" or "danshari" was first 2 by a French woman Bea Johnson. "Live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different methods to protect the earth." she said.

    Yu Yuan, 27, is 3 attracted by this idea.

    She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to be a customer without thinking a lot. 4 she saw a video about "zero waste"

    The 5 is about a family of four, and the rubbish they produce every year is placed in a jar.

    After watching the video, Yu wanted to 6 this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.

    Yu says that a zero-waste life 7 the 6R principle --Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot (腐烂）.

    Over August-October when Yu followed the principle of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both 8 only two cans of rubbish.

    Now, the couple have opened a small 9 called The Bulk House in Nanluoguxiang, Beijing, to support a zero-waste life.

    At the store they use environmentally friendly products. For example, they use wood products to replace 10 ones and prepare cloth bags printed with zero-waste logos for customers. Most of the products sold in the store can be reused, and a small number of 11which are not recyclable can degrade (分解). The store 12 has secondhand books and audio-visual CD/DVDs.

    For used toiletries things like soap and toothpaste that are used for cleaning yourself) there is a company which accepts them, and the couple regularly mails their waste to it.

    Yu says that those who were once not 13 in the zero-waste lifestyle have gradually changed because of curiosity. The zero-waste lifestyle, she adds, is for everyone.

    "It's 14 us at our fingertips." Yu expects some of her friends to 15 her on the road to zero waste. As the saying goes, many hands make light work.
