Long long ago, there was a little prince who was used to having everything he wanted. He was so badly behaved that he wouldn’t let anybody have a new toy if he didn’t have it first. If any child in the land wanted a new toy, they had to buy two and give one to him. Therefore, the little prince had no friends except for his toys.

One day a magic toymaker, who invented the most wonderful toys, came to the land. The little prince liked his toys so much that he invited him to spend an entire year in the palace, promising him great wealth if he made him a new toy every day. The toymaker set just one condition: “My toys are very special and need an owner who will play with them” he said. “Will you be able to devote a little time to each one every day?” “Of course, I will” the little prince replied impatiently.

From then on, every morning the little prince received a new toy. Every day the toymaker delivered a toy better than the previous ones. The little prince appeared very happy.

But the toy collection kept growing and, after a few weeks there were simply too many toys to play with all of them every day. So, one day the little prince put a few toys to one side, hoping that the toymaker wouldn’t notice. However, when it was night time and he was ready to go to bed. The toys that had been put away lined up in front of him and, one by one, demanded their daily playtime. The little prince couldn’t get to sleep until well past midnight because he had to play with every single toy.

Next day, tired after all his efforts, the prince slept very late. In the little time left of the day, he had to get to know a new toy and then play with all the others too. Once again, he finished very late and was so tired he could hardly stop yawning (打哈欠).

Once upon a time, there were four seeds (种子) who were good friends. They travelled by wind and came to a forest. They hid     1     (they) in the ground, and hoped that they would be able to grow into big trees.

But when the first seed began to grow, they realized it would not be such     2     easy task. There lived a group of     3     (monkey), and the smaller ones loved throwing bananas at the plant     4     started to grow. They threw so many bananas at the first sprout (幼芽) that she was almost cut into two. When she told the other seeds     5     had happened, they thought that it would be better to wait until the monkeys went away.

They all agreed that, except the first seed. She     6     (think) she would at least try it. When she tried, she was harmed by bananas. The other seeds asked her     7     (stop) trying. However, she had made up her mind to become a tree. She tried again and again. The scars     8     (leave) by the bananas helped her grow stronger than the other seeds. Little by little, she had grown so strong that the monkeys couldn’t hurt her     9     (bad).

In the end, she grew into the     10     (big) tree in the forest. The other seeds still hid themselves in the ground, only hoping the monkeys would go away soon.
