8. Example :
1.Duck and Turtle
Two ducks who lived in a big lake had a friend who was a turtle. One year there was a very little rain and
the lake began to dry up. One of the ducks said to the other, “Soon, there’ll be no water in this lake. Let’s go and look
for lake
“Yes, answered the second duck, “But first let’s say good bye to our friend, the turtle.”
When they told the turtle they were going to leave, he said, “I’ll die here without any water and without any
friends. Take me with you.”
“The ducks answered, “We can’t. We are going to fly, and you have no wings.”
“The turtle thought for a minute and then said, “please wait here.”
Then he went away and found a strong, straight stick. He brought it back to his friends, put the middle of it in
his mouth and said, “Now if each of you takes me one end of the stick in his mouth, you can lift me up and carry me
with you.”
“ That is dangerous,” said the ducks, “if you try to talk while we’re carrying you through the air, you won’t be
able to hold the stick, so you’ll fall down along way and break your shell.”
“all right,” answered the turtle, “I promise not to talk while we’re in the air. So the ducks took the stick and flew
away, with the turtle between them. All went well until they were flying over a town. Then some people saw them
and shouted, “Look, those ducks are carrying a cat!”The turtle got very angry, “A cat? I’m not …” he said, but he did
not get any further, because when he opened his mouth, the stick came out of his mouth and the poor turtle fell to
the ground

9. 2. The Monkeys and The Cap Seller
Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He was very tired and
needed to rest. Then, he stopped and spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his
bag full of caps near him and lay down with his cap on his head.
The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. When he got up, the first thing he
did was to look into his bag. He was startled when he found all his caps were not
there.
When he looked up the sky, he was very surprised to see monkeys sitting on the
branches of a tree, each of the monkeys is wearing a cap of on its head. They had
evidently done it to imitate him
He decided to get his caps back by making a humble request to the monkeys. In
return, the monkeys only made faces of him. When he begun to make gesture, the
monkeys also imitated him.
At last he found a clever idea. ” Monkeys are a great imitator,” he thought. So he
took off his own cap and threw it down on the ground. And as he had expected, all
the monkeys took off the caps and threw the caps down on the ground. Quickly,
he stood up and collected the caps, put them back into his bag and went away.

Baby Panda Debuts at National Zoo in
Washington
Bao Bao, four-and-a-half-month-old giant panda cub, inside her
habitat at the
National Zoo, Washington, Jan. 7, 2014.

18. VOA News
January 11, 2014
The newest star at the National Zoo in Washington has gotten her first taste of the spotlight.
Giant panda cub Bao Bao made her debut Saturday in front of visitors from the zoo's members‘
club. The zoo is allowing its members exclusive viewing opportunities before the four-and-a-half-month
Old
bear appears for the first time before the general public next Saturday.
Bao Bao got her name -- Chinese for "precious" or "treasure" -- through an online vote. In
keeping with Chinese naming tradition, U.S. zoos typically do not name their pandas until they turn
100 days old.
The giant panda is one of the world's most endangered species, and a female born in captivity is
rare and a reason for celebration.
Bao Bao's parents are the National Zoo's female panda Mei Xiang and male panda Tian Tian. Her
birth on August 23 was broadcast live on the zoo's panda cam.
Only about 1,600 giant pandas are estimated to be living in the wild and some 300 in captivity –
most of them in China.
