Thousands of years ago, in China ,there was an emperor(皇帝),Shi Huang. He made people from all over China work on the Great Wall. The work was long and hard. Many workers died (死). A beautiful woman, Meng Chiang-nu, lived with her husband(丈夫)in a small village(村庄). Her husband had to go north to work on the Great Wall. It was very ,very cold in the north. He was gone for many months.

One day, Meng Chiang-nu went to find her husband. She walked for days and days. She walked across rivers and mountains. Finally, she reached the Great Wall. “Where is my husband?” she asked. “Oh, he died long ago,” a man said. “We buried (埋葬)him here, by the Wall.” Meng Chiang-nu cried. She cried for days, and many people cried with her. Their tears made a river 300 meters long. They cried so hard that a part of the wall fell down.

When the emperor heard about the woman, he came to see what had happened. He saw her crying, and fell in love with her. “Will you marry(嫁)me ?” he asked. “I will marry you,” Meng Chiang-nu said. “But first, you must build a tomb(坟墓) for my husband.” The emperor agreed. When the tomb was finished, Meng Chiang-nu wouldn’t marry him. She jumped into the river. “Catch her! Catch her!” the emperor shouted. But Meng Chiang-nu became a beautiful silver fish. She swam away, into the green blue water.

Some young soldiers(士兵) who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting in the open air, near their camp. One of the things they were shown was how an unarmed(没有装备的) man could take the enemy's weapon (武器) away from him. First, two of their instructors(指导者) took a knife away from the other, using only his hands, and then he took a gun away from him in the same way.

In the next lesson, the soldiers were trained to do something else. Before the new training began, the third instructor asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown in the last lesson. One of the questions was this, "Well, you now know what an unarmed man can do against a man with a gun. Now imagine that you have a gun and now you are in defense of a bridge for its safety. Suddenly, you see an unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you. What will you do?"

A young soldier, Thomas, who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds and then said, “Well, after what I have just seen, I think so that the unarmed enemy soldier can't take it away from me and kill me with it."
