Copenhagen is a city full of fairy tales(童话故事). If you want to explore it, you have to spend a long time and walk slower to enjoy yourself. Copenhagen was the first city to have a street for walkers only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.

Walking along the river banks, you’ll see the Amalienborg Palace first. The king’s family is living there.

Churches and castles show us the original city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. But fires in 1728 and 1795 completely destroyed(摧毁) the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see today dates back to(追溯到) the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Keep going, and you’ll see the Christiansborg Palace. The town of Copenhagen began there. The you’ll see Nyhavn(尼哈芬),a waterway, which was dug in 1673. When you see it, you’ll understand why Hans Christian Andersen made this beautiful waterway his home. Nyhavn is a peaceful and wonderful place. You’ll usually see some rich people walk along here.

If you walk there, you can enjoy the old trees, the colorful lights and the beautiful gardens. You might feel as if you were in a fairy tale.

As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich. “This is the worst thing I’ve ever done!” he said, “It’s not that bad,” said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. “Just get another sandwich.”

“Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest(竞赛). It’s only two weeks away and I don’t know what I’m doing! Everybody will laugh at me. There’s no way to avoid it!”

“Don’t be so negative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “You’re going to be great. You have the skills to do just about anything.”

Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.

“Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Let’s brainstorm a list of things you could do. We’ll divide the list into categories or groups. Let’s start with music. You play the piano, right?”

“I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny.

“What about singing a song?” suggested Elena.

Danny shook his head no. “Let’s move on to another category.”

“What about performing magic tricks?” asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger.

“I don’t know how to play magic tricks!” Danny almost shouted.

“Stop being so…” Elena paused, “That’s it, DRAMATIC!” Elena shouted excitedly. “You could do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace. She rewards students with points for doing extra reading work.”

Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled. “Elena,” Danny said, “You are a great friend!”

Elena smiled back. “I just want to make sure you are a bright, shiny star when you step out on stage.”
