A crow (乌鸦) is in the forest (森林), and he is happy every day. But one day, he sees a swan (天鹅). He is not happy.
“You are so white, but I am so black. You must be very happy,” says the crow.
The swan says, “I’m not happy. I just have one color. Peacocks (孔雀) have many colors. They look beautiful. I think they are happy."
Then the crow goes to the zoo (动物园) to see a peacock. “You are so beautiful. I think you are very happy,” says the crow.
“No, I’m not happy. I have no friends,” says the peacock. “You can play with your friends everywhere. But it’s difficult for me.”

Round eyes, a round head, round ears and a round body! What is this little animal? He looks like a little bear. But he is not a bear. He’s a koala. Soft gray fur(毛) covers his little fat body. His eyes look like buttons(纽扣). He has small feet and big ears.
Where do koalas live? In Australia. The people of Australia take care of the koalas. They build places for them to live in. Here the little animals are safe. No one can kill them for their beautiful fur. There are many koalas in Australia. The people of Australia love them very much.
When a koala is born, he has no fur. And he is no bigger than your little toe(脚趾).
The mother koala has a pocket in the front of her body. The baby stays in this warm pocket. There he stays for six months.
When the little koala leaves the pocket, he has lots of fur. And he is about as big as your shoe. He climbs to his mother’s back. And she teaches him to find food.
