Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about Hell (地狱). When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn't master the flying skills, she would go to Hell. She was so curious about Hell that she always asked others what Hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said Hell was a place full of water, and others told her that Hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what Hell was.

When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to Hell and see what Hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn't find out what Hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn't escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.

“What does Hell look like?”

“Hell is a small well-decorated cage." Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself.

In today's world, it's natural to feel tired sometimes during those long working days. Luckily, there are some things you can do to fight tiredness.

If you aren't drinking plenty of water by now, you should! But remember that juice, soft drinks and the likes aren't what you should drink if you are tired, because they are full of sugar that in fact causes you to lose much water from your body. Water is king, so make a habit to drink a glass of water whenever you feel tired. You can put a full glass of water next to you, you will remember to take a sip (啜一口) here and there throughout your activity. You'll be surprised how quickly drinking water can get rid of your tiredness.

Sometimes you feel tired because you aren't active, especially when you have to work at a computer or sit at a desk all day. Movement, any type of movement in exercise, can help you. Moving your body creates an increased blood flow which in return increases your energy and defeats (战胜) tiredness. Also it makes your breath deeper and then you'll be more energetic immediately. So, all that you need to do is just get up, stretch (伸展) a little bit, or walk around if you can.

Laughing a little can also help you fight your tiredness. You don't have to laugh out loud. Simply finding something interesting is good. So start reading some jokes on the Internet, listen to some radio shows you like, or watch some funny videos on Youku. You will notice that once you start laughing, you won't be tired any more.
