Mr West had a big farm at the foot of the hill. His friend worked at the police station and often made the other farmers work for him. He never worked, but he could get much money.

　　Once two young men went to the forest from a city. They wanted to take their three-day holiday there. They walked in the forest in hope of shooting some animals. They waited and waited, at last they saw a hare(野兔) near a tree. They shot it and were very happy. But before they went out of the forest, Mr West stopped them and called out, “The forest is mine! All the animals here are mine, too. If you kill an animal again, I'll kill you!” With these words, he took the dead hare away. The two young men believed the forest was his. They said nothing and left.

　　Mr West was happy and was going to take the hare home. Suddenly he saw a large wolf behind him. He walked fast, it walked fast. He hurried off, but it followed him. He had to throw the hare to it, it ate the hare soon and then caught up with him again. He ran as quickly as possible. And when he was too tired to run further, he saw the two young men and shouted, “Please shoot the wolf!”

　　“Sorry, we can't, sir,” said a young man. “We're afraid you will kill us!”

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.

Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.

Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
