The spider smiled and said, “I think you are just 45 (tell) me a story.” But the little bug said, “Oh no, I’m 46 (serious). The owner of this field is coming to harvest it soon. A big machine will come and it’ll be 47 (dangerous) for you.”
The spider became 48 (anger). He shouted, “I don’t believe you.” Then he ate the bug for lunch.
One day when the spider was sleeping, he 49 (hear) some big noise. He woke up and saw a big machine moving to him 50 (quick). He said to himself, “I wonder what that could be?”
A crow (乌鸦) lived in a thick forest with many birds. He was very happy with a carefree (无忧无虑的) life until he saw a swan (天鹅) one day. The swan 51 (fly) over a lake. “This swan is so white,” he thought, “and I am so black. It must be the happiest bird in the world.”
He shared his thoughts with the swan. The swan replied, “Actually I thought so, too, until I 52 (meet) a parrot. It had brilliant colours of red and blue. No other bird could be 53 (happy) than the parrot.”
The crow went off in search of the parrot and saw it 54 (rest) on the top of an old tree. The parrot explained, “I, too, was very happy until I saw a peacock (孔雀). My colours paled in comparison to (相比于) the peacock’s.”
The crow decided to look for the beautiful peacock. He 55 (final) found the peacock at a zoo. 56 (hundred) of people gathered around to watch the peacock and 57 (it) beautiful feathers. The crow said, “Dear peacock, you are so beautiful. Every day, people come just 58 (see) you. You must be the happiest bird on the planet.”
The peacock replied, “My beauty made me 59 (stay) in this zoo. In the first few months, I often said to 60 (I) that if I were a crow, I could be enjoying a carefree life outside. Then, after many months, I realized that I should learn to be happy with what I have instead of expecting what I do not have.
