had happened. She fluttered on the path in the woods, and lay there, pretending

chased off after the dove, which began cleverly to hop further and further
away.

and put the stone in her place, and then she too ran off. When the dove saw her

started searching for the donkey everywhere. On the way he met a boy, he
asked the boy, “Have you seen my donkey?” The boy asked, “Is the donkey’s
left eye blind, his right foot lame and is he carrying a load of wheat?” The
man was happy and said, “Yes, exactly! Where have you seen it?” the boy
answered “I haven’t seen it.” This made the man very angry and he took the

The Camel
and The Mouse Deer
Long time
ago, there were a camel and a mouse deer.
The camel said “Nothing like being tall! Look how tall I am!” The mouse
deer, which heard these words said, ’Nothing like being short! Look how short I
am!”
The camel
said, “Well, if I fail to prove the truth of
what I said, I shall give up my hump.” The mouse deer said, “If I fail
to prove the truth of what I have said, I shall give up my snout.” “Agreed!” said the camel. “Just so!” said the
mouse deer.
They came to a garden, enclosed by a
low wall without any opening. The camel stood on this side of the wall, and
reaching the plants within by means of his long neck, made a breakfast from
them. Then, he turned jeeringly to the mouse deer, which had been standing at
the bottom of the wall, without even having a look at the good things in the
garden, and said, “Now, would you be tall or short?”
Next they came to a garden, enclosed
by a high wall, with a wicket gate at one end. The mouse deer entered by the
gate, and after having eaten his fill of the vegetables within, came out,
laughing at the poor camel which had had to stay outside because he was too
tall to enter the garden by the gate, and said, “Now, would you be tall or
short?”
Then they
thought the matter over and came to the conclusion that the camel should keep
his hump and the mouse deer his snout, observing, “Tall is good, where tall
would do; of short again, this is also true!”

Arion was one of the most famous
singers in the ancient world. On one occasion he won an important festival in
Sicily, and as his prize he received so many jewels and golden cups that he was
obliged to hire a ship to carry them all home to Corinth.
Unfortunately, this huge treasure made
the sailors very jealous, and in order to have it for themselves, they attacked
the singer and were about to throw him overboard.
Arion did not put up a struggle;
instead he asked only that he be allowed to sing one last song. His wish was
granted and the sailors were so enchanted by his voice that they were hardly
aware of what happened next. At the first notes of his song, a dolphin swam
alongside, attracted by the beautiful music. Immediately Arion jumped overboard
onto the dolphin’s back and was carried back across the sea.
When the ship finally reached port in
Corinth, the wicked sailors began to tell everyone that there had been a storm,
during which the famous singer had been lost at sea. They were struck dumb with
amazement, however, when Arion arrived with a company of soldiers to arrest
them.
In memory of this event, a statue, of
a young man on the back of a dolphin, was erected in the port of Corinth. This
statue is still there today.

friend. But when they were hungry, they were very greedy.
On one hot day, Sura and Baya were
looking for some food. Suddenly, Baya saw a goat. “Yummy, this is my lunch,”
said Baya. “No way! This is my lunch. You are greedy! I have not eaten for two
days!”Said Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought as usual. After several hours, they
were very tired. Sura had a plan to stop their bad habit. “I’am tired of
fighting, Baya, “said sura. “Me too. What should we do to stop fighting?
Do
you have any idea?” asked Baya. “Yes, I do. Let’s share our territory. I live
in the water, so I look for food in the sea. And you live on the land, right?
So, you look for the food also on the land. The border is the beach, so we sill
never meet again. Do you agree?” asked Sura. “Hmm..let me think about it. OK, I
agree. From now on, I will never go to the sea again. My place is on the land,
“said Baya. Then they both lived in the different places.
But one day, Sura went to the land
and looked for some food in the river. He was very hungry and there was not
much food in the sea. Baya was very angry when he knew that sura broke the
promise. “Hey, what are you doing here? This is my place. Your place in the
sea! But, there is water in the river, right? So, this is also my place!” said
Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought again. They both hit each other.
Sura bit Baya’s tail. Baya did the
same thing to sura. He bit very hard until Sura finally gave up. He went back
to the sea. Baya was very happy. He had his place again. The place where they
wre fighting was a mess. People then always talked about the fight between Sura

Hexa and I camped in the mountain last
weekend. It was very beautiful and very quiet there. The air was fresh. The
location of our campsite was on the top of a hill, so we could see the scenery
around us. It was amazing. It was green everywhere. It was also easy to get
water as it was near a small river. You see the water is as clear as a crystal.
We brought a lot of food from home. There were some noodles, cans of sardines,
soft drink and biscuits. Hexa brought cooking utensils for cooking noodle.

setting up tent and exploring the surrounding area. I was happy to find that

campers. We chatted and played guitar. It was fun meeting people who had the same
hobby. It was not frightening at all at night in the forest as it was very
noisy that night. We laughed and sang, and some campers even danced. We went to
bed almost dawn. No wonder we got up late the following day. We hiked with
other campers until afternoon. We did not realize that it was almost 5 in the

When I just hang out in a mall one
day, I saw a very beautiful bag. I love
this bag at the first sight. This was the first time I've spent much money on a
bag and I don't regret it.
The bag is wonderful. It is made of thin
but strong leather. The weight is light and the size keeps it from getting
stuffed with junk. It has a long shoulder strap that I like because it keeps
the bag hands-free. Its neutral color is
fun and sporty. The design is simple and well-made.
The bag is very functional. It is the perfect size to carry a cell
phone, a pocket-sized wallet, a small book, a pack of gum, and pens. It also fits well
into my laptop backpack for bike commuting to school. This
bag also has more pockets inside so my small items don't all fall to the
bottom. In overall I really satisfy with bag.

put her small items?
A.
In
her pockets.
B.
In
her laptop backpack.
