Long ago a kind farmer with the name of Fred lived in a small old house happily together with his gentle wife, Doris, who couldn’t see anything at the age of five．
One cold winter night, the Luck Fairy(仙女)visited them while they were eating some bread in the dim(昏暗的)light．
“Fred, you’re so kind．I’d like to give you a wish．It’s my pleasure to satisfy you,” said the Luck Fairy．“A wish?” Fred and Doris asked, standing hand in hand and smiling at each other．Then Fred answered, “Thanks, Luck Fairy．We’re living a happy life．”“We are no longer young, but we still work in the field from morning to night every day．We enjoy ourselves,” said Doris．
“You work very hard but you make so little money．Would you like some gold coins to buy a comfortable house?” asked the Luck Fairy．“Oh no, my dear Luck Fairy．We love our small old house．We have lived here for a long time,” answered Fred, without a moment’s hesitation(犹豫)．“We are happy to work and live together all the time．That’s enough,” Doris agreed．
The couple(夫妇)were quite different from other people the Luck Fairy had ever met．She appreciated(欣赏)them very much．She disappeared, saying, “I wish you a happy life forever．”
Many years later, the couple lived happily as usual It seemed to others that they were the happiest in the world．
Satisfaction is a kind of feeling that needs to be experienced from inside．It‘s very important to be satisfied with what you’ve got If you enjoy the pleasure of the simple life, good luck will follow you．

Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson, was killed by one of the elephants he loved．This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future(将来)of London Zoo-and maybe for all of Britain's city zoos．
London Zoo said that it would move its three elephants to a wild(野生的)animal park outside London．Its director-general(总经理), Michael Dioxn, said,“We are sorry that the elephants are leaving; there have been elephants at Lon-don Zoo since 1831．”
One British newspaper said that though many small animals were very interesting, most people wanted to see big animals－and most of all elephants．
London Zoo is not only losing its elephants．The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears(熊)have already gone．Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman called Mary said she hoped the zoo could keep big animals．“This is the only way the young people can see animals without travelling to other countries,”she said．
Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to well keep them．Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos．
Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry．“If we send them back to the wild they will die．If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo．It can survive(继续生存)at the moment, but it won't survive in the future．”
However, Mary Rosevear, directory of the Federation(联合会)of Zoos, believes(相信)that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals．
