   Do you know the man on the chair in the picture? His name is Brahim Takioullah. He is thirty years old. He comes from Morocco. He wears a pair of glasses. He is 2. 46 metres tall. He isn’t the tallest man in the world,but the world's largest feet are his. His left foot is 38. 1 cm and the right one is 37. 4 cm.

   Every day he lives a hard life. He can't stand straight in his flat. He can't buy a pair of suitable shoes in the supermarket. And it is also difficult for him to go out by taxi or underground. But he is always kind and friendly. On the way he usually smiles at others and says hello to them. He never minds (介意) if someone takes photos of him. He makes lots of friends and loves answering their questions.

   He has a great dream. He hopes he can drive a special car and travel around the world some day. Look!He is sitting on the chair now. Many people are talking and playing with him. How happily he laughs!

   Chinese people call the Spring Festival “Nian”. But do you know that Nian was once the name of a monster (妖怪) ?

   A long time ago,the monster Nian lived in the mountains. It ate animals. But in winter,it could not find food. So it came to villages and ate a lot of people.

   People were so afraid of Nian that they locked their door before evening came during the winter. One day,an old man came to a village. He told people there that Nian was afraid of three things —the color red,fire and noise. He told people to play drums and gongs,make big fires and set off fireworks to make Nian go away.

   On a moonless,cold night,Nian went to the village again. As soon as it opened its big mouth,people made loud noise and made fire. Nian was really afraid and ran away. Wherever it went,there was noise and fire.

   When Nian was tired and could not run any more,people killed the monster.

   After that,on the coldest day of winter,people play drums and gongs,and set off fireworks to celebrate the death of the monster of Nian. They put up red lanterns and have a big dinner without sleeping during the night.

   In the morning people greet each other happily. So now we have the Spring Festival.
