Can you give these characters any advice?
Advice to the ugly duckling
Don’t give up hope, even when things seem hard. You may feel different now, but you are special in your own way. Keep looking for a place where you fit in, and one day you’ll find that others understand and accept you for who you are.
Advice to the five ducklings
Be kind to others, even if they look different from you. Being rude to others doesn’t make you better. Instead, being friendly can make both you and others happier.
Advice to the other birds
Don’t judge others by how they look. Get to know them, and you might find they are great in ways you didn’t see at first.
Advice to the cat and the hen
Don’t judge others based on what they can or cannot do. Not everyone looks or acts the same, but that’s what makes the world interesting. Try to understand them and offer support when you can.
General advice
Remember:kindness and acceptance can go a long way. Treat others with respect, no matter how they look or act. Everyone deserves to be treated with love and understanding.

Version 1
The fisherman was very scared. He asked, “Why? Didn’t I set you free from the jar?”
“That’s why I’m going to kill you!” said the genie angrily. “But I’ll let you say how you want to die.”
Then the fisherman took a deep breath and thought for a moment. He was not that frightened. He said: “Since I must die, I must. But before I die, answer me one question.”
(草稿)
“All right, but be quick.”
“Were you really in the jar? You are so big and the jar is so small that it could hardly hold one of your feet.”
“Of course I was in the jar. Don’t you believe me?”
“No, and I won’t until I see you in the jar with my own eyes.”
When he heard this, the genie changed again into smoke. Slowly the smoke went into the jar. When all of it was in the jar, the fisherman quickly put the lid on and threw it back to the sea.
Then the fisherman went back home without a single fish.
Version 2
The fisherman was very afraid, but he thought quickly. The genie was big and angry, but maybe not smart. Seeing a storm coming, the fisherman praised the genie, saying, “Wow, you are so big and strong. Can you change your size?” The proud genie happily said, “Of course! I am the strongest in the world!” The fisherman asked,
“How big can you get?” The genie got bigger and bigger until he was as big as a mountain. However, he didn’t notice the strong storm coming. The storm blew the genie away. The fisherman hid in his hut and watched. “He might be big and strong,” the fisherman said, “but he is too proud!”
