The days pass. Dorothy works very hard in the kitchen. She remembers Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in Kansas. She remembers her friends the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. She is very sad and often cries. At night, she goes to see the Lion. The Witch doesn’t give him anything to eat or drink, so Dorothy takes food and water from the kitchen. She then lies down next to him, puts her head on his warm body and sleeps until the morning.
The Witch watches Dorothy all the time. She is waiting for the right moment to take away her silver shoes. Dorothy doesn’t like her, so she is afraid to go near her when she is in the bath.
One day, Dorothy is cleaning the kitchen and she slips (滑倒) on the wet floor. She falls over and one of her silver shoes comes off. The Witch is watching. She picks it up quickly and puts it on.
“Give it back to me!” Dorothy shouts.
“No, it’s my shoe now,” the Witch replies.
“You’re a wicked (邪恶的) woman,” Dorothy says. There is a bucket of water near the door. The girl picks it up and throws the water over the Witch. “Aarrgh!” the Witch cries. “Water is the end of me!” And she starts to disappear in front of Dorothy’s eyes.

Koalas—Cute but Picky Animals
Koalas are small, furry animals from Australia. They have big ears, a large nose and no tail. Many people call them “koala bears”, but they are not bears. They are marsupials.
Koalas live in eucalyptus trees. They eat the leaves of these trees. But koalas are very picky. They do not eat all kinds of eucalyptus leaves. They only eat leaves from a few types of eucalyptus trees. One koala eats about 500 grams of leaves every day.
Koalas sleep a lot. They sleep for about 18 to 20 hours a day. Why do they sleep so much? Because eucalyptus leaves do not give them much energy. Sleeping helps them save energy.
Koalas have something special. They have fingerprints. Their fingerprints look very similar to human fingerprints. Even scientists cannot tell the difference easily!
Today, koalas are in danger. People are cutting down eucalyptus trees. Koalas lose their homes and food. We need to protect the trees and help these cute animals.

Koalas—Cute but Picky Animals
Koalas are small, furry animals from Australia. They have big ears, a large nose and no tail. Many people call them “koala bears”, but they are not bears. They are marsupials.
Koalas live in eucalyptus trees. They eat the leaves of these trees. But koalas are very picky. They do not eat all kinds of eucalyptus leaves. They only eat leaves from a few types of eucalyptus trees. One koala eats about 500 grams of leaves every day.
Koalas sleep a lot. They sleep for about 18 to 20 hours a day. Why do they sleep so much? Because eucalyptus leaves do not give them much energy. Sleeping helps them save energy.
Koalas have something special. They have fingerprints. Their fingerprints look very similar to human fingerprints. Even scientists cannot tell the difference easily!
Today, koalas are in danger. People are cutting down eucalyptus trees. Koalas lose their homes and food. We need to protect the trees and help these cute animals.

A crow (乌鸦) lived in the forest with some swans (天鹅). One day, swans flew down to the ground. The crow watched them with disdain (不屑).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, I don’t think you can do it! Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
A strong young swan took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, showing other flying tricks, and then came down and looked at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. Ten minutes later, they could see nothing but water. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was so tired and he found it hard to stay in the air, and tried to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan asked, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (骄傲)! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life ...”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.
