Once upon a time, there was a spider with the

he also knew he wasn’t wise (充满智慧的). He didn’t
like this, but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked people to give him some of their wisdom (智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.
Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbours might be jealous (忌妒的) of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.
Then his youngest son walked by. “What are you doing, Father ” he asked. And Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead ” his son said.
Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom, but my baby son is still wiser than me.

Jingwei Tries to Fill 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 stones or tree branches from the mountain and dropping them 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 without 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.
