　　Mrs. Jones gave music lessons at a school. She had a good voice and enjoyed singing, except that some of her high notes (音符) sounded like a gate that had been forgotten to oil(上油). Mrs. Jones knew that so well that she tried to practise these high notes if she was free. As she lived in a small house, she usually had to go for long walks along the country roads and practised high notes there. Every time she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practising again.

　　One afternoon, a car came up behind her so fast that she didn't hear it until it was only a few metres from her. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult notes at that time when the car passed. The driver stopped his car in front of her suddenly, jumped out and began to look at his car carefully. To his great surprise, he couldn't find anything wrong with his car. He got back into the car and drove off.

　　Once in Egypt (埃及) there was a thick forest. In the middle of the lake in this forest lived a terrible ogre (吃人精). Whenever any animal tried to drink from the lake, the ogre would jump out and eat the animal up.

　　One day a group of monkeys came to the forest. Their head was a clever old monkey. He knew about the ogre, so he warned the others,“An ogre lives in the lake in this forest, if he catches you, he will eat you. So don't drink any water from the lake until I tell you it is safe.”

　　The monkeys listened to their head. They got very thirsty, but they stood back from the lake. Then the clever old monkey went near the lake and waited to see if the ogre would appear.

　　When the ogre saw the old monkey, he came out of the water and said,“Come down and drink.”

　　“No,” said the monkey,“if we come to the water, you will eat us.”

　　“Yes,” said the ogre,“but there is no other lake in the forest. Soon you and your friends will have to come here to drink.”

　　The old monkey thought and thought. Then he saw some long reeds (芦苇) growing near the lake. He picked some reeds and gave them to the other monkeys. Each monkey put one end of the reed in its mouth and the other end in the water. Then the monkeys sucked (吸) the water through the reeds. So they stayed away from the lake and still drank as much as they wanted. The ogre was very angry when he saw this and disappeared into the lake.

　　And none of the monkeys saw him again.
