A peacock (孔雀) and a tortoise (龟) were good friends. One day, a bird catcher caught the peacock and was going to sell him on the market. The peacock asked the bird catcher to allow him to say goodbye to his friend the tortoise. The bird catcher agreed.
The tortoise asked the bird catcher to let the peacock go, but he refused. The tortoise then said, “If I give you a nice gift, will you let my friend go?” “Certainly,” answered the bird catcher.
So the tortoise jumped into the river and after some time, he came up with a big pearl (珍珠). The bird catcher was so surprised. He was so happy that he let the peacock go.
A few days later, the bird catcher came back to the tortoise. He thought he didn’t get enough for letting the peacock go. He told the tortoise that he would catch the peacock again unless he got another big pearl.
 The tortoise knew his friend the peacock went to a safe place. “Well,” said the tortoise, “please return the pearl that I gave you and I will come back with two.”

Kellie’s friends don’t go near the hives. They are afraid. They don’t want the bees to sting (蜇) them. Kellie says they don’t understand that bees are safe. “I like standing safely in the middle of the bees. No one else is brave enough!” she says.

The story of Yu Gong
Once upon a time, there was an old man called Yu Gong. Although he was almost 90, he decided to move the mountains. A “clever” man called Zhi Sou said, “You are too old to move the mountains.” Yu Gong said, “If I die, my sons will still do this. And if my sons die, my grandsons will continue doing this.” Then a god was moved by Yu Gong. So he sent two gods to help him.
      From the story, I learn that anything is possible if we work hard!
