Not too long ago, 41-year-old Tim Fisher flew in a small airplane close to the largest glacier (冰川) in Europe.
A glacier is a huge area of snow and ice that moves slowly down a mountain. In that environment, Fisher did two activities he loves, flying and taking photos. He tried to take photos of glaciers before some of them melted (融化).
Scientists say many glaciers are melting or getting smaller. The melting has gotten faster since the 1980s. For Fisher, this meant there was not enough time left. The melting pushed him to take photos of the glaciers before it was too late to do that.
As a child, Fisher lived next door to a small airport in New York. His grandfather was a pilot and took Fisher on plane rides when he was a young child. The old man told him, “Whatever you set your mind to, you can do it.” In the late 1990s, a friend told Fisher that the world’s glaciers were melting. Then he decided one day he would fly to take glaciers’ photos in Europe.
Fisher flew a small plane which could carry two people. The plane felt like an old car. The weather was bad, really cold. The winds were too strong to fly. Taking photos was a big challenge. Fisher ran out of his money, so he had to look for people who would support his work. Fisher succeeded finally.
His action made people care more about glaciers. He believes his photos can be of great value to future people.

He came to the king and said, “My king, if someone says a tiger appears in the market, will you believe it?” The king said, “You must be joking. How could I believe such a thing? We haven’t seen a tiger there for many years.”
Pang said, “If two people say there’s a tiger, will you believe it?” The king said no and he couldn’t believe others easily. Pang kept on, “What if three people all come and say there’s a tiger?” The king said, “Then I might believe it.”
Pang said, “My king, you know that there can’t be a tiger in the market. Just because three people say so, you choose to believe it. Now I will be away for three years. If some people tell bad stories about me, can you find the truth then?”
As soon as Pang left the State of Wei, many people who didn’t like Pang told the king that Pang Gong was a bad person.

Not too long ago, 41-year-old Tim Fisher flew in a small airplane close to the largest glacier (冰川) in Europe.
A glacier is a huge area of snow and ice that moves slowly down a mountain. In that environment Fisher did two activities he loves, flying and taking photos. He tried to take photos of glaciers before some of them melted (融化).
Scientists say many glaciers are melting or getting smaller. The melting has gotten faster since the 1980s. For Fisher, this meant there was not enough time left. The melting pushed him to take photos of the glaciers before it was too late to do that.
As a child, Fisher lived next door to a small airport in New York. His grandfather was a pilot and took Fisher on plane rides when he was a young child. The old man told him, “Whatever you set your mind to, you can do it.” In the late 1990s, a friend told Fisher that the world’s glaciers were melting. Then he decided one day he would fly to take glaciers’ photos in Europe.
Fisher flew a small plane which could carry two people. The plane felt like an old car. The weather was bad, really cold. The winds were too strong to fly. Taking photos was a big challenge. Fisher ran out of his money, so he had to look for people who would support his work. Fisher succeeded finally.
His action made people care more about glaciers. He believes his photos can be of great value to future people.

A long time ago, a man named Pang Gong from the State of Wei was going to the State of Zhao. Before leaving, Pang felt there was still something he needed to tell the king of Wei.
He came to the king and said, “My king, if someone says a tiger appears in the market, will you believe it?” The king said, “You must be joking. How could I believe such a thing? We haven’t seen a tiger there for many years.”
Pang said, “If two people say there’s a tiger, will you believe it?” The king said no and he couldn’t believe others easily. Pang kept on, “What if three people all come and say there’s a tiger?” The king said, “Then I might believe it.”
Pang said, “My king, you know that there can’t be a tiger in the market. Just because three people say so, you choose to believe it. Now I will be away for three years. If some people tell bad stories about me, can you find the truth then?”
As soon as Pang left the State of Wei, many people who didn’t like Pang told the king that Pang Gong was a bad person. Three years later, when Pang came back, the king didn’t want to see him because he believed other people’s bad words. “My king should find the truth after thinking it over,” said Pang with sadness.
