One day a lion met a spider, who was just busy making a web. The lion 1 for a while and said, "How clever you are! How did you learn to do that?" The spider answered proudly, "I learned it from my mother."
The lion watched a longer while. Then he asked the spider, "But why don't you catch your food in the way that I do?"
"I am just a 2 animal," the spider replied. "I cannot run fast or fly. 3 with my web I can catch flying insects, and I don't even have to run after them."
The lion then asked, "Could you make a 4 for me? Then I would not have to run after animals either."
"Sorry," the spider said. "My web can only catch flying insects. But you cannot love 5 them."
The lion was angry with the spider. She did not have to work 6 for food. And she would not help him get his 7. So he hit the web and broke it. But the spider jumped 8 the lion's back and bit him.
"Now you will 9 me," said the spider as she jumped into the grass. "Think carefully 10 you do something bad to other animals. Some of us may be small, but we are very smart."
The lion tried to scratch his back, but he could not reach where the spider bit. It itched(发痒)for several days. He remembered the smart spider for a long time.
The sky is turning bright and clear.
The earth is wearing red and green.
Winter is gone; spring has come.
The air smells fresh and sweet.
The summer heat is not yet here;
A little fox comes out to play.
A bird is busy in a tree,
Waking a daisy from her sleep.
Little daisy, little daisy,
People call the flower the "day's eye."
When she opens her eye,
The springtime brings us cheer.
(Renee—a beautiful princess Broo—a blue bear Nahloo—a magical place)
When the Princess Renee heard about Broo, she came down from her astle. She found Broo while he was busy eating honey.
"Mr. Bear," the Princess said, "you are welcome in Nahloo. Here we share with each other. We don't take things from each other."
Broo thought about it for a moment and knew that he had made a mistake. "Well," he said, "maybe drinking all that milk wasn't the best idea."
The Princess went on, "Mr. Bear you can drink and eat but you won't feel good because you have never made any contribution(贡献)to anyone else. I think you'll find that it is better to be full in your heart not just in your stomach." After saying this the Princess went back to the castle leaving Broo alone.
One day Broo was going to take lots of cookies from the rabbits, and then he remembered what the Princess said to him. So Broo decided not to eat the cookies. The rabbits were surprised and said "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Bear. Now these cookies will taste sweeter because they are given by you, my friend. If you like, come back tomorrow and we can have the cookies together."
Broo was filled with joy and went through the land. He gave back everything he had taken. In return, he received a promise(承诺)from everyone to share their food with him. Broo was so glad that he started dancing in the moonlight with the Princess as his partner.
Most schools are going to start a program(课程)called B.Y.O.T. (bring your own technology). This program allows(允许)students to bring iPads, cell phones or other things to school for study. One aim(目标)for this program is that the students don't need to carry textbooks any more. They can download math, science, social studies, and read textbooks on their iPads. Another one is that they can get free educational subjects to play in their free time!
Schools have set up a free Wi-Fi system(系统)just for the B.Y.O.T. program. Thank teachers for all their hard work to set this program up. I really think this program will go well in most schools and I also think the learning will be better than ever.
However, maybe some schools will not allow this because they think that it will make kids waste too much time and they might break their iPads.
This program will let students have fun and learn at the same time. If you like your iPads and you like to read, school is getting started with reading with iPads. Many high schools and middle schools have already started and so have some primary schools. But most primary schools are coming along! Let's tell them: Hurry! Get ready to learn!
It was night by the time she came to a town. Just outside the town, there was a large temple(寺庙). It was very quiet. There was only one light in one of the rooms.
"I will stay here tonight," she thought.
The temple was quiet because only a goblin(小妖精)lived in it. But the girl did not know this.
Once inside the temple, she came near to the only room. She knocked on the door, but no one came.
"Is anyone here?" she called quietly.
There was no answer, so she went into the room. Inside the room, there was only a mat(垫子)on the floor, a light near the window, and a large paper screen.
The girl wanted to sleep, but she also wanted to draw some cats. She drew them on the paper screen. She drew cats of every kind.
After that, she lay down and went to sleep. Then she remembered the nun's words: Don't go into large places at night. Go only into small ones.
"This room is very large. And I am alone. I'll hide myself."
She looked around the room and saw a large box. She opened the box and looked inside. It was empty.
"Good," she thought. "I can hide in this box."
