Once there was a king. One day he was traveling alone in a forest. After a long time, he reached a small house. Outside the house, he saw an old lady. The lady placed a plate of hot rice in front of the king.
The king was so 1 that he quickly put his fingers on the hot food. The hot food 2 his fingers, and he spilled (溢出) some rice on the floor.
The old lady saw this and said, "You seem too impatient and hasty (草率的) like our 3 . "
Hearing the old lady's words, the king was 4 and asked her, "Why do you think our king is impatient and hasty?"
The old lady began to explain, "Our king is having a big dream of capturing all his enemy forts (城堡) and he is focusing only on capturing the large forts. "
The king said, "That's a 5 thing, isn't it?"
The lady replied, "Like your 6 when eating the food, you burnt your fingers and wasted some food. In the same way, the king wants to defeat the enemies quickly, which 7 the loss of men in his army. Instead, you should eat the less hot food at the edge (边缘) first and then at the center. 8 , the king should target the small forts and strengthen his position. It 9 him to capture the large forts without losing his soldiers in the army. "
Hearing this, the king understood his 10 . He realized that one should have patience and avoid being hasty in any situation to achieve his goals.
One very warm evening in the Seeonee hills in Southern India, Father Wolf woke up from his day's rest. Next to him lay Mother Wolf, with their four cubs（幼崽）beside her.
"It's time to look for food, " said Father Wolf, and he stood up to leave the cave.
Father and Mother Wolf listened to Tiger Shere Khan in the forest not far away. Then, suddenly, they heard a noise much nearer to them.
"It's a man. A man's cub. Look!" said Father Wolf.
And there in front of them stood a baby who could just walk. He looked up at Father Wolf and laughed.
"Is that a man's cub？"asked Mother Wolf. " I have never seen one. Bring it here. "
The baby, small and with no clothes, pushed its way between the cubs to get near to Mother Wolf. "Look, " she said, "he is taking his meal with the other wolf cubs. "
Suddenly, it was dark, and Shere Khan was pushing his great head in through the mouth of the cave. Father Wolf knew that Shere Khan could not get inside the cave because he was too big.
"I am hunting a man's cub, "said Shere Khan. " "Its father and mother have run away. Give it to me! It is I, Shere Khan, who speaks!" And Shere Khan's roar filled the cave with noise.
"No!" came the angry voice of Mother Wolf. "The man's cub belongs to me! We will not kill him. He will live, to run with the other wolves, to be my son. Now go away, eater of cubs! Go!"
I took up baking(烘焙) when I was twelve. At that time I was working on my school bakery project with my classmates. I tried a few times, but I wasn't very successful. My parents advised I learn from my grandmother, who later gave me her recipe (食谱) and instruction as well. After two years' practice, I was able to make delicious bread. I have come to realize making bread means a lot to me although it takes a long time.
To make bread, others usually use quick-rise yeast (酵母), but I don't. Every Saturday morning, after mixing proper amount of water with flour, sugar etc, I take time to wait for the dough to rise. This is my way to slow down and smell the roses.
Baking does require great patience. In my hands, the dough is slowly growing. It's becoming softer. I can feel the change, which connects me to something quite different from the modern way of living. To me, making bread is a push against our culture of convenience. It certainly takes more time than buying bread from a store, but I enjoy it.
I've stuck with my grandmother's recipe without making any change. Now this tradition has continued for years. Sometimes, in order to fit it in, I have to change my schedule. But I have never considered giving it up.
By the time my children get home from school, the bread has been baked and cooled. They step into the house and the first thing they do is to take a deep breath of the warm, honeyed air. My bread-baking has also helped them to slow down and understand the value of taking their time and leading an unhurried life.
The giant Amazon rainforest in South America has been a mystery for centuries. It holds all kinds of natural wonders. Among them in Colombia, a river stands out as "the most beautiful river" in the world.
Locally called Camio Cristales, this special river lies in a national park. It is made up of several waterfalls rapids, and plenty of pools. For most of the year, Canio Cristales looks like a common river: clean, green, and rocky. However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes（迸发）with life and color. It appears as any mix of colors including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red. So it is also known as the "River of Five Colors".
Although at first it may appear as if some chemicals were added to the water, this rainbow river is completely natural. Cafio Cristales' colors are the result of a rare（稀有） water plant which needs sunlight to grow. The plants change color depending on how much sunlight they receive, and the amount is decided by the height and speed of the water. Therefore, it is possible for the plants to be totally colorless if the sunlight is too hard to get. They are a delicate plant. This makes them easily damaged in the water.
Actually, the river faces some problems, including drier seasons, wildlife trouble, waste management, and budget （预算）cuts. In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists. Now the park admits only 200 people a day and requires them to mind their behaviour.
Today, Cano Cristales still shines among Colombia's most popular natural attractions, drawing thousands of tourists every year.
