Jingwei Tries to Fill up the Sea
Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea, and her boat sank to the sea. Her spirit turned into a beautiful bird after she died. She cried sadly in the sound “Jingwei, Jingwei”. That was why people called her “Jingwei”.
The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. She was so sad that she decided to fill up the sea. Every day, she flew between the mountain and the sea, carrying a stone or a tree branch (树枝) from the mountain and dropping it into the sea.
One day, the sea said to Jingwei, “Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You’ll never fill me up.” Jingwei replied, “I’ll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it will take me thousands of years! I’ll fight on without taking a rest.”
Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe is a main character from a novel named Robinson Crusoe.
When Robinson first arrived on the island, he had nothing. But he found the ship and made a small boat. He brought back many things he could use—food and drink, tools, knives and guns. Although he lost everything, he didn’t lose his life. He kept working and waiting for another ship. He used the knife to cut down trees and built a house. He went with his gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. He learned to grow fruit and vegetables. He lived on the island for many years and he was saved finally.

Jingwei Tries to Fill up the Sea
Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea, and her boat sank to the sea. Her spirit turned into a beautiful bird after she died. She cried sadly in the sound “Jingwei, Jingwei”. That was why people called her “Jingwei”.
The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. She was so sad that she decided to fill up the sea. Every day, she flew between the mountain and the sea, carrying a stone or a tree branch (树枝) from the mountain and dropping it into the sea.
One day, the sea said to Jingwei, “Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You’ll never fill me up.” Jingwei replied, “I’ll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it will take me thousands of years! I’ll fight on without taking a rest.”

When Robinson first arrived on the island, he had nothing. But he found the ship and made a small boat. He brought back many things he could use—food and drink, tools, knives and guns. Although he lost everything, he didn’t lose his life. He kept working and waiting for another ship. He used the knife to cut down trees and built a house.
