【推荐1】There was a farmer who always sold a pound of butter to a baker (面包师). At the same time he bought a pound of bread from the baker. One day the baker decided to weigh (称的重量) the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This made him very angry, so he took the farmer to the court (法庭).
The judge (法官) asked the farmer if he played tricks (诡计) on selling the butter to the baker. The farmer replied, “I don’t play any tricks. I only have a scale (天平).”
The judge asked, “Then how do you weigh the butter?”
The farmer replied, “My dear judge, I don’t know how much a pound of butter weighs, but every time the baker comes to buy butter, he will bring a pound of bread for me. Then I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If the butter is less than it should be, there must be something wrong with the baker.”
Sometimes we will get back what we give to others in our life. So please be nice to others if you want them to be nice to you.

【推荐2】Sally had been studying at an art college for a year. Like most students, she did not have much money. It was going to be her mother’s birthday soon, and she wondered what she could buy her as a present that would be nice and useful but not too expensive.
Sally’s college was in London, but she had been living in the country for many years, so every day she had an hour’s journey by train in the morning, and the same in the evening.
At lunchtime one day, a week before her mother’s birthday, she had a quick sandwich and a cup of coffee instead of her usual meal in the college hall, and then went shopping near her college to try to find her mother a nice present. When she had been looking for half an hour, she came across a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas, and decided that one of those would solve her problem, since her mother had lost hers the month before, so she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it back to the college with her until her classes had finished.
On her way back home in the train that evening she felt hungry because she had had such a small lunch, so she went along to the buffet car for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment, but when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers in it, but now there were three.
Sally burst into tears when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. When she explained that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother had disappeared, and that she had to get out at the next station, the three passengers asked her for her mother’s address, in order to be able to send the umbrella to her in case someone had removed it by mistake and not on purpose, and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
The next week, Sally heard from her mother. Her letter said, “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”

【推荐3】Long time ago, there was a boy called Narcissus. He was very handsome and many women loved him. One of them was a fairy called Echo (回声). Unluckily, Echo could only repeat after others, so she couldn’t tell Narcissus her love for him.
One day, Narcissus got lost in the woods. He shouted, “Who’s there?” Echo repeated, “Who’s there?” Slowly, Echo stepped forward. But Narcissus didn’t love Echo, and left her heartbroken.
Later, a goddess learnt this. She decided to punish (惩罚) Narcissus. She made the boy fall in love with himself. Once Narcissus took a drink from a pond. He saw his own reflection (倒影) and fell in love with himself. From then on, he stayed there and looked into the water until he died. A flower grew where he died. That flower is called narcissus (水仙花).
This story tells us why the narcissus flower is seen as too much self-love. It also shows that too much self-love is unhealthy. What about healthy self-love? To have healthy self-love, we need to use the mirror. That is to say, we need to love ourselves. Also, we need to find the goodness in others and love them. In this way, we will hear praise from each other. When we have learnt to appreciate the value that we add to each other’s lives, we can love ourselves healthily.
