Everywhere we look, there is colour. We see it in the sky and in the sea. There are colours in all plants and animals. Colour makes our homes and schools pretty. We see it in pictures and in books. We even see colour in our food. It makes things look good.

How can we see colour? We see colour when light hits(射入)our eyes. Dogs and many other animals can’t see colours. But bees(蜜蜂) can. They even see colours we don’t see. This helps them find flowers to fly to.

We sometimes use the names of colours to say things. People may say that they “see red” when they are angry(生气). Or you may say you “feel blue”. This means you are sad. We use colour to tell things., too. Red is the colour of stop signs. It means to stop. Green means to go.

Animals come in all kinds of colours. Many of these are very pretty. An animal’s colour may say “here I am”., “stay away” or “be careful” or it may help the animal hide(隐藏). Some animals can make their colours look like the trees around them, then other animals or people can not find them.

Three rich ladies met every day by the river. They sat there and talked the whole day. Once the three ladies quarreled(争吵). One of them said. “Look, how white and beautiful my hands are!” Another one said, “My hands are more beautiful. “ The third one said, “Mine are the most beautiful ones. “ An old beggar woman came up to them. “Beautiful ladies,” she said, “I’m old and can’t work, I’m hungry. Please give me something to eat.”

But the three ladies gave her nothing. They only asked, “Tell me, old woman, who of us has the most beautiful hands?” “I shall tell you a little later,” the old woman said and walked away.

A peasant (农民) woman was also sitting by the river. She was poor and her hands were dark because of hard work. The old woman came up to her and said, “I’m hungry. Please give me something to eat. “ The peasant woman took out her a piece of bread and gave a half of it to the old woman.

The old woman ate it and drank some water. Then she took the peasant woman by the hand, brought her before the rich ladies and said, “Now, I shall tell you whose hands are the most beautiful. The hands of the poor peasant woman are dark because of work, but they give me food; they are far more beautiful ,because your hands do nothing. ”

Round The World

Mr. and Mrs. Spencer both had very busy jobs and didn' t have much time to spend with their young children. They wanted to change this, and because their hobby was boating, they, decided to sail round the world together.

It took six years to prepare everything for the trip. First, they bought a new boat. Then, both the husband and wife had to take advanced (先进的) sailing lessons and learn all about the sea and the weather. Mr. Spencer also did several courses(课程) in repairing engines and Mrs. Spencer spent an hour in a restaurant learning to cut up fish.

In October they had one year off from their jobs and sailed away from England with their two children. The next year, in August, their long journey ended in Australia.

The boat was not big, but they took a teacher for the children with them. None of them found the trip boring because there were three computers, many CDs, a TV and a DVD player on the boat.

The family loved being at the sea and seeing the stars in the sky. But, most of all, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer enjoyed playing with their children while they were still young.
