Emma: What's your favorite story, Teng Fei
Teng Fei: Oh, I like this one. A farmer lost his horse. His neighbours said, "How unlucky!" But the farmer just said, "Maybe." Later, his horse came back with seven other horses. People said, "That's great!" But the farmer said, "Maybe." Later, his son broke his leg when he tried to ride a horse. People said, "That's terrible!" Again, the farmer said, "Maybe."

Here's The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen.
Once upon a time, an emperor liked clothes very much. He wanted to buy some new clothes.
Two brothers came and lied to him, "We can make wonderful clothes! But only clever people can see them!" They pretended to make the clothes.
The emperor's officials couldn't see the clothes, but they said,"What lovely clothes!" The emperor couldn't see anything either, but he said, "They're beautiful !" No one wanted to look silly.
The emperor decided to show everyone his new clothes. People in the street praised them. They were afraid to look silly too!
Suddenly, a boy shouted, "Look! The emperor has no clothes on!" Everyone looked at one another. They started laughing.
The end! Did you like the story Please tell me what you think!
Section B, 1b
The Ugly Duckmg
Once upon a time, there was a mother duck. She had six little ducklings. Five of the ducklings were small and yellow, but the last duckling was big and grey. "He doesn't look like us! What an ugly duckling! " the other ducklings said. “That's not nice!" said Mother Duck. “He's still a duck like us!”
At the river, the ugly duckling swam well, just like all the other ducklings. But the other ducklings still laughed at him and told him to go away. It made the poor duckling very sad, so he decided to search for a new home. He met many other birds, but all of them thought that he was ugly too. They did not want him to live with them.
One day, the duckling met a cat and a hen. "May I stay with you " he asked hopefully. But the two animals said no. They did not like him because he could not purr or lay eggs!
Some days later, the ugly duckling came to a lake. There, he saw three beautiful swans with long necks and white feathers. "I wish I looked like you!" he cried. "My friend, you do look like us! Look in the water!" one of the swans said. The duckling looked down, and to his surprise, he saw that he was a beautiful white swan too!
