5 . A long time ago, there was a farmer who had ten donkeys (驴). One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.
What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for advice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements (动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”
The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten (拴紧)a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donkey would run away in the middle of the night.
When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted, but the animal just didn’t move.
Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before. With a great “ah ha”, he returned to donkey number ten, and just after a simple movement the donkey happily walked with him to the field.

On Monday morning, we were told a fun sports meeting would held on the school playground on Friday afternoon. Upon hear the news, I, together with my best friend, entered for the three-legged race excitedly. In the next few day, we practised the game afterschool. With our classmates patient guiding us, we mastered the skills. Then came a big day. With my left foot and my friend’s right foot tying together, we were ready to start. The moment when our PE teacher blow his whistle, we managed to run fast at the same pace. A few minutes late, we crossed the finishing line. We did a really good job but won the first prize.
10 . Are you thinking about traveling alone? You must have a million questions: Where should you go? Will there be someone to talk to?
In fact, traveling alone is not as scary (吓人的) as it seems. Here are some good tips.
Choose a place where you feel comfortable and safe
Truth be told, traveling alone for the first time is more about the experience than the destination.
Make a plan
Always make a plan. That way you’ll avoid worrying too much over where you’re staying, what to see and how you’re getting from A to B.
Book hotels ahead of time
Talk to people
If you’re going to a touristy place like Thailand, there are lots of other people who are traveling alone.
Let someone know where you are
Your family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day, so text them and let them know what you are up to throughout your trip.
| A．How do you stay safe? |
| B．Don’t draw attention to yourself. |
| C．That will make you and them feel safer. |
| D．The first thing you need to do is believe in yourself. |
| E．So make sure to choose a place that you feel comfortable with. |
| F．Most likely, they’ll be easy to talk to and they’ll want to communicate. |
| G．This can make you less nervous when you’re traveling alone for the first time. |
