There are three little pigs. They live in a small house with their mother. "This house is too small. You must build your own homes, "says the mother pig one day.

The first title pig builds the house of hay. The second little pig builds the house of sticks. The third little pig builds the house of bricks.

One day, the big bad wolf goes to the first pig's house. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in!" says the wolf. "No way, I will not let you in, "says the little pig. "If you don't let me in, I will blow your house down!?" says the wolf. The first little pig runs to the second pig's house.

The wolf goes to the second pig's house. "Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!" says the wolf. "No way, We will not let you in, "says the two little pigs. "If you don't let me in, I will blow your house down!" says the wolf. The two little pigs run to the third pig's house.

The wolf goes to the third little pig's house. "Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!?" says the wolf. "No way, We will not let you in, "says the three little pigs. "If you don't let me in, I will blow your house down!" says the wolf.

He blows and blows and blows and blows, but he cannot blow the house down. The wolf is angry. He climbs on top of the house. He goes down the chimney. The third little pig makes a fire. "Owwwwwwwwww!"cries the wolf. The fire burns the wolf, and he runs away.

"Look, "I said to my friend Mandy, holding up thebright-red paper. "There's a five-day art camp this summer. "

Mandy took the paper and looked at it. "Tessa, youshould go. You're the artist. I am not. "

"You can learn with me. "I said in an encouragingvoice. "I really didn't want to go alone."

Mandy smiled, "I tried, but my little brother thoughtthe corns I painted were rockets."

Late, I called my other friends, but none of them could gowith me. Disappointed, I decided to go outside to draw the Westons' pine tree. Drawingalways made me feel better. On the way, I thought about the art camp and wishedI felt a little braver. Mandy could make friends with others in 10 minutes, butI was embarrassed when there were no familiar faces around me. By the time Iarrived there, I had made myself believe that I was happy to give up going tothe camp.

I took out my pencils and started drawing the strong trunkof the pine. Once I started, I didn't notice the fly buzzing around me. That'swhy I jumped when Mr. Weston talked behind me, "You've done a great jobshowing the strength of that tree. ""Thanks. "I smiled. Mr. Westoncontinued, "I've planted pine trees before. You have to spread out theroots near the surface so the tree can get enough water and grow tall. If youplant the root ball too deep, the tree dries up and dies. Roots grow out, notdown. "

Now I noticed the roots all around the tree. I'd neverrealized how far a tree's roots stretch(延伸)outward. It made me think about the artcamp and my own roots. I was planting myself into one deep spot because it feltsafer. If I wanted to grow, I had to start reaching out too.

That night, I made my final decision. I felt nervous butexcited. "I am stretching my roots out into new earth so I can grow",I thought. "I am the pine".

— Yes. We are going to visit the red boat on South Lake in Jiaxing next week.

A Chinese dance drama (make) the first appearance on  social media platforms  abroad already, causing a wave of discussion on the beauty of Chinese culture among art lovers worldwide.

The dance drama Li Bai is classic play made by the China National Opera and  Dance

Drama  Theater.  It  has  touched  people  all  over the worldtelling  the  story of Tang Dynasty (618 AD—907 AD) poet Li Bai.

Li Bai was born in 701 AD   died in 762 AD. Maybe because he traveled around so    much  when he  was little,  he  decided  (keep) traveling around  the land when  he  was  25 years old. He wanted to learn more about nature and people. He expressed his feelings through the beautiful words in his poems. People (real) liked his poems. Even today people still admire his poems, not only adults, but  (child) too. Kids start to learn his poems when they are in  primary schools. Li Bai is one of the (important) poets in China. He is just as important as William Shakespeare to the world.

Last month, the dance drama Li Bai   (watch) over 5.57 million times. And China has once again carried Chinese culture forward in (it) own way.
