Passage 1
One day, a crow(乌鸦) saw a swan(天鹅)on the beach. He laughed at him and said, "Can you fly as fast as I do? Do you have as many flying skills as I do? How stupid you are!"
Hearing this, the swan thought the crow needed to be taught a lesson. He had an idea.
He asked the crow, "Do you dare to compete with me? The competition will take place in two stages. In the first stage, you can show your flying skills, and I will do the same. In the second stage, you should copy what I will do. "
The crow said proudly, "It's too easy!'
The competition started. At first, the crow showed different ways of flying. But the swan could do nothing. Next, the second stage began. The swan flew to the sea. The crow followed him. "Is this all you can do?" the crow asked. The swan just flew silently. He flew slowly, but didn't stop. After flying a long distance, the crow was so tired that he could hardly fly and almost fell into the sea.
Seeing this, the swan said to the crow. "You have flying skills, but I have good endurance(耐力). Everyone has his own strong and weak points. " Hearing the swan's words, the crow's face turned red and hung his head. He regretted having laughed at the swan.
