【推荐2】A wizard（男巫）gave a young queen a magic box. The box would bring happiness to the whole country whenever it was opened in a place full of the spirit of generosity（慷慨）.

The Queen travelled all over the country, looking for the most generous people. If she found them all, she would open the magic box. However, nothing special happened. How upset she felt!

One day when the queen decided to return to her palace, she saw a poor little boy begging（乞讨）. She would like to give the boy some money, but she didn't have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old box. Then he could sell it for a little money. At first the Queen hesitated, because she knew the box had magical powers. But when she looked at the poor boy for the second time, she gave it to him. The boy took the box and opened it.

Immediately(立刻), all the most wonderful things people could imagine started flying out of the box and a voice said, "Why look for it in others? Goodness(善良) always starts in yourself"

While enjoying all the wonders(奇迹) of the magic box, the Queen learned to set an example to others, and she became the best Queen ever in history.

【推荐3】Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.

I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.

It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.

When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!
