【推荐1】Roy, the rabbit, was playing with his friends in the forest. Charlie, the deer, looked at Roy’s big ears and said, “I think Roy’s nickname(外号) must be Big Ears from now. Hearing that, all his friends started laughing and making fun of Roy, “Big Ears! Big Ears!” That evening Roy was very upset and said to his dad about his big ears sadly. His dad said to him patiently, “Listen carefully, Roy. There are very good reasons why we have big ears, and one day your friends will find out why.”

A few days later, Roy and his friends were playing again. Suddenly, Roy stopped and called his friends together. He said to them worriedly, “Listen! I can hear lions coming. We need to run away.” “But we can’t hear anything!” said his friends. They still stayed there and played happily.

A few minutes later, 3 lions appeared from behind the trees. “Run! Run for your lives!” shouted Roy.

When they all reached safely, Roy spoke seriously to his friends, “Now you can understand why I have big ears. I can listen very well and today my big ears and listening skills saved us from danger. We have two ears and one mouth because listening is often more important than speaking. Listening is often the only thing that we need to help and save someone. So, if you listen to your grandparents, parents, teachers and friends, you are very wise.”

“Wow, Roy, now we understand why you have big ears and we will never tease you again,” said Roy’s friends and they all said sorry to Roy for what they did to him before.

【推荐3】If you’re walking down a city street and Dino Serrao asks you to take a photo of you, say yes.

Dino is a photographer（摄影师）. He comes from Italy and now lives in Norway. He travels around the world to take photos of common people on the street and show them how beautiful they are. He believes beauty is in everybody, everywhere and that his work shows the beauty to others.

Dino points his camera（照相机）at common people on the street. These people are often walking or doing something else. Dino just stops them and asks to take their photos. As he uses a camera to take photos, he has another person following him to film the process（过程）.

Often, the stories behind the photos are also beautiful. Once, Dino met an old woman in Italy. He walked to her and asked to take some photos of her, but she refused because she said she was “too old”. When he told her he would delete all of the photos if she didn’t like them, she finally said yes. In the end, even the old woman herself was surprised to see how lovely she was!

Dino’s photos show us that things like age and jobs don’t mean a thing when it comes to beauty. True beauty comes from people’s inner world（内心世界）and Dino has a way to share that with the world.
