Once in a small village, an unusual chick was born. He had only one eye, one wing, and one leg. He was named Little Half Chick. He quickly learned to hop faster on his leg than most chickens could walk on two. He was a curious and adventurous chick and soon grew tired of his yard environment. One day he decided to hop to the city to meet the mayor.
Along the way, he hopped by a stream filled with leaves. “Could you clear these leaves away so my water can run freely?” the stream gurgled (流淌). Little Half Chick helped the stream and then he hopped on.
It started to rain when he crossed a small town. A small fire on the side of the road cried, “Please give me shelter from this rain, or I will go out!” Although Little Half Chick was afraid of this fire, he stretched out his wing to protect the fire until the rain stopped.
Further down the road, Little Half Chick met a wind that was caught in a bush (灌木). “Please save me,” it whispered. Little Half Chick saved the wind. Then he hopped on to the big city.
Little Half Chick did not meet the mayor. Instead, he met the mayor’s cook. Then she invited him to the kitchen, decided to push him into a pot of water and lit a fire. But the fire refused to burn, and the water refused to boil. Then, the grateful wind picked him up and carried him safely to the top of the highest tower in the city.
They all remembered Little Half Chick’s kindness. He became a weathervane (风向标) at last. Now, his flat body tells everyone below the direction the wind blows. And people also learn a lesson from Little Half Chick, that is __▲__.

5 . Joey was happy because he had many special friends — four squirrels (松鼠), two rabbits, and many colorful birds. At the meal time, these wild animals came near to the family and they would feed these special friends.
In the large yard stood thirteen trees of different sizes. One day, while Joey was playing with his sister under the trees, he noticed that a tree trunk (树干) had a sad look. He ran into the house to tell his mom about it. She told Joey to find the reason why it was sad.
So Joey went into the yard, ran to the sad tree and asked, “Why are you unhappy?”
“I am the smallest tree around. The birds don’t fly to me. The rabbits don’t eat grass under me. The squirrels don’t climb to my top. Nobody needs me or loves me,” replied the sad tree.
