The lion says that he is on his death bed. So, he asks all the animals to come and listen to his last wishes.

The cat comes to the lion’s cave (洞穴). He stands there and goes in. Then a sheep goes in. Before she comes out, a rabbit goes in to hear the last wishes of the king of animals.

But soon the lion looks well again, and goes out of his cave. He sees a fox waiting outside. “Why don’t you come in?” asks the lion to the fox.

“I see many animals go into your cave, but nobody comes out. Before they come out again, I will wait outside.” says the fox.

Do you like after-school activities? Which club would you like to join?

Your school days should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them and make sure you do not waste(浪费) this great chance to learn?

Be active (积极的) at school

Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities: Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are no working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable(令人愉快的).

Keep fit

If you don’t eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you don’t have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports in order to keep your body strong.

Face the problem

Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone has bad days. Don’t make small problems very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!

Spend the weekends

Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn to play the piano, or help someone with problems. If you don’t want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.
