25、 Years ago, we were, asked to create a newspaper in groups about world culture in our history class.
We first wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. Unluckily, Mrs. Bartlett, our teacher, didn't put me in the group with any of my friends. Instead, I was with Mauro, who never spoke English, Juliette, who always wore thick glasses and Rachel, who wore strange clothes. I had never talked to them. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends!
I was so sad that I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. "I know what you want, Karina, " she gently patted me on my shoulder, "but your group needs a leader. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this project. Only you can make it."
I was shocked.

I bravely walked to my group and started our project. We had different tasks according to our interests. Gradually, 1 felt myself enjoying their company. I found out Mauro was struggling with English. Behind Juliette's thick glasses were her sparkling eyes. Rachel was so creative that she wanted to be a fashion designer.

26、Once upon a time, there was a lion in a forest. He was the king of the whole forest. One day, the lion wanted to eat his three ministers (大臣) —a bear, a fox and a rabbit, because he hadn’t eaten meat for long. So he thought of a trick.
He opened his mouth and called the bear to tell him what it smelled like. “Your Majesty, the smell in your mouth is terrible. It is fishy and smelly,” the bear said honestly. The lion was very angry and said the bear had insulted (侮辱) him. So he punished the bear and ate him up.
Then the lion called the fox to smell it. When the fox saw what had happened to the bear, he tried to please the lion. He said to the lion, “Ah! Your Majesty, the smell in your mouth is very nice. It is like a sweet wine or a fine perfume (香水) .”
But the lion was very angry again. He said that the fox was a flatterer (马屁精) , and that he must be bad for the country. Then he punished the fox and ate him, too.
Finally, the lion asked the rabbit what it smelled like. The rabbit replied, “Your Majesty, I am so sorry! I have a stuffy nose (鼻塞) from a recent cold and now I can’t smell anything. If you allow me to go home and rest for a few days, I will be at your service when I get better. ”
The lion found no excuse, so he let the rabbit go home. The rabbit ran away and saved his life.
When dealing with the king’s unfriendly order, the rabbit didn’t blindly follow it. Instead, he “took care of the left and right” to refuse him. That saved his life. What a clever rabbit!

27、 I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Mashwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Mashwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Mashwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Mashwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.
