Dear Kids Advice Magazine,

Hi,my name is Evan and being the eldest child in the family surely has its disadvantages.First of all,I have to share all my toys and games with my younger siblings,William and Julia.Of course,they don't need to return the favor because I'm totally uninterested in their things.Besides that,Julia and William are always hanging around me.It's especially annoying when I have a friend over.We look for a secluded place in the house where they can't disturb(打扰) us,but within minutes,they've found us and are asking to join in.I just can't seem to get a moment's peace.At meal time,I have to eat whatever is on my plate regardless of the portion size or taste.William and Julia only need to try one bite when it's not their favorite food.Not only this,but I'm expected to be cooperative(合作的) at all times because I'm the oldest and need to be a role model for them.

It doesn't seem fair either that I have more chores to do around the house than Julia and William put together.Plus,when it comes to practising our musical instruments,I have to practise more than double the time.Oh,and the worst part of it all is the huge quantities of homework I get compared to them.

I'm feeling rather annoyed with my sibling situation.Can you please write back with some advice?

Yours truly,

Evan Smith

Things didn’t go well for Henry, the village pancake maker. The Great Pancake Contest(比赛) was today. People from different places would try to win the contest .The villagers wanted Henry to win, but Henry had problems. There was not enough wood in the oven to make a pancake. Mice ate half the flour(面粉) during the night.

The villagers saw that Henry was having problems. The woodsman brought wood for the oven. The farmer gave Henry more flour. This was all very good but he was still missing one more important thing. There was hardly enough time for Henry to make his pancake and take it to the contest. But Henry decided to have a try.

As fast as he could, Henry put the wood in the oven. When he made the pancake, he thought, “When I had no wood, the woodsman brought me wood; when I had no flour, the farmer brought me flour. My good friends helped me.”

After Henry finished making the pancake, he ran as fast as he could to the contest. “I’m sorry, Henry,” one of the judges(评判员) said. “You are too late.” Henry's friends were sad for him, but Henry just laughed. “I’ m not sad!
