       Once there was a little sheep. He wanted to climb a high mountain. When the sheep started to climb, he wanted to get to the top quickly, so he ran fast all the way. Then he reached a ridge (山脊) and saw some sheep in front of him.     1     so he ran faster and faster.
       But when he ran to a place near the top, he had to stop sadly.     2     He could not see a road up to the top, so he thought, “I guess I will have to jump up to the top.” He tried again and again, but he couldn’t make it.     3     “Maybe they are bigger and stronger than I am, or maybe I didn’t practice well.” He said to himself. “I will eat more and practice more back home and I believe I can jump up to the top one day.”
           4     “Do you want to get to the top?” he asked. The little sheep said yes. “Then follow me,” the old sheep said.
       The little sheep followed the old sheep to the far side of the ridge and saw a winding (蜿蜒的) road.     5     Soon they got to the top.
       “Sometimes,” said the old sheep, “the fastest way to get where you want to go is to take many small steps instead of one big jump.”

A．Just then an old sheep came up to him.

B．He wanted to make friends with them.

C．It was easy to climb the mountain along the road.

D．So he wondered how all those sheep got to the top.

E．He found that the rest of the way was very steep (陡峭的).

F．He was very close to the top now, and he could see many other sheep on the top.

A crow (乌鸦) lived in the forest with some swans. One day, swans flew down to the ground. The crow watched them with disdain (不屑).

“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, I don’t think you can do it! Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”

A strong young swan took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, showing other flying tricks, and then came down and looked at the swan.

Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. Ten minutes later, they could see nothing but water. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was so tired and he found it hard to stay in the air, and tried to keep himself from falling into the water.

The swan asked, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”

“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (骄傲)! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life...”

The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.

5 . Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a rich family. The family were rude and refused to let the angels live in the comfortable room. Instead, the angels were given a small and cold room. As they were making the bed in the dark room, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem like.”

They left the next morning and they came to a house of a very poor family at night. The farmer and his wife were very kind. After sharing a little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife were crying. This was because their only cow that the poor family lived on was dead in the field.

The younger angel was angry and asked the older angel, “The rich family had everything, yet you helped him to mend his wall,” he continued, “the poor family had little but were friendly to share everything, and you let the cow die.” “Things aren’t always what they seem like.” the older angel replied, “When we stayed in the rich man’s room, I noticed there was lots of gold in that hole of the wall. But the owner didn’t know the secret. Since the owner was not kind and didn’t share his things with others, I mended the wall so that he wouldn’t get the gold for ever. Last night, when we were resting in the poor farmer’s house, the God who controls death came for his wife. I used the cow’s life to exchange the kind woman’s . Now you see, things aren’t always what they seem like.”
