Long ago, there was a queen who lived in a palace. She felt bored to her advisor, “All the things around me are too boring. I need a different kind of beauty. Let everyone know that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world. And the prize will be this crown.”

Several days later, lots of people came to the competition and showed their things. The queen was not satisfied with what she saw. The advisor suggested, “What you are looking for cannot be brought to you. You must look for it by yourself. What about a journey?”

The queen was interested in the idea, so she started immediately. As she was on top of the hill near her palace, she looked down and suddenly something cried in her heart. “Why have I never found my palace so beautiful?”

The queen spent one year travelling. She saw beauty on the farm, in the forest and even in the stars twinkling at night on her journey. But what was the most beautiful thing? She thought it over. Suddenly, she understood beauty was everywhere. She should learn to enjoy the world. She left the pieces of her crown at different places that she had seen. As time went by, the queen’s crown got smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

She found the most beautiful thing at last. It was the world!

A bear and a monkey were good friends. One day, they took a walk together. The monkey said to the bear, “Look, here are some banana trees on the other side of the river but I can’t swim. Would you like to take me there on your back?” “Good, my friend,” said the bear.

Soon they got to the bank. The monkey climbed up a tree and began to eat bananas. He threw the skin (皮) of the bananas to the ground. The bear could not climb up the tree. He walked about and then lay down to sleep. When the monkey found the bear asleep, he shouted, “Stop, stop! Someone is eating bananas!” The owner came and he saw the bear and the skin of the bananas. The bear was beaten (被打) and he felt sad. When the bear took the monkey back, he asked, “Monkey, why did you shout?” The monkey said, “Oh, I have this habit and have to shout.” The bear understood and said, “I have a habit, too. I like to dance in the river.” With these words, the bear threw the monkey into the water.
