More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle. He walked around, showing off his power and pride.

Each day Lion took a long, lazy sleep under the shade of his favorite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬)before him.

One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped(绊倒)over Lion’s huge paws, Lion woke up with a start. “How dare you wake me up!” he shouted angrily, Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw. “On second thought, I’m in the mood for a snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal,” he said.

Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare(饶恕)me! If you let me live, I’ll always remember your kindness. And someday, I might be able to help you.”

“How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favorite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net. The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn’t escape.

When Mouse heard Lion’s frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed(咬)through the ropes to make a hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse, “Thank you for saving my life,” said Lion, smiling his widest smile. “I was mistaken. You are not a powerless little mouse. You are a great friend!”

I used to skate a lot. With every Olympic song, I found an excitement growing inside me when I was first to skate at the age of five. But, unluckily, I was badly hurt in a match. I quickly stopped my skating. Smiling, my husband just said, “Skating is your passion (酷爱),but of course we can stay at home.”

It was crazy, I know, that a thirty-seven-year-old mother of two children wanted to skate under disco ball lights after 10 years. I found the excitement growing inside me. I loved to skate. So I was out there having the time of my life,listening to the music with a smile on my face and heart. I hoped I could skate again.

I belonged here. It was so right to be back on the ice.

“Did you use to be a skater?”A little girl looked up at me with questioning eyes. Taking time to give my answer,I looked around the rink (溜冰场),where I could see so many years of lessons,Olympic dreams,and a love of the ice would never die. “No,”I answered,“I'm a skater.” With a smile,I glided away.

Skating had finally turned me into a champion——a winner of a lifelong passion for favorite sport.
