Once, a father and his son went to a kite flying festival. The son was very 1(excite) to see all the colourful kites in the sky and asked his father to buy him one. 2(make) him happy, the father went to a nearby shop and bought one.
The son started flying his kite 3(happy). Soon it flew high up in the sky. After some time, the son thought to 4(him), “It seems that the string(绳子) makes it hard for the kite to fly higher. If I cut it, the kite will be free to fly higher.” So he asked his father for a small knife and cut the string. 5the string, the kite did go a little bit higher. However, it soon started to come down and landed on 6tall tree. The son was sad. He wished that the kite could fly higher after he cut the string instead of 7(fall) down. He turned to his father for an explanation.
“Well, the string wasn’t holding the kite down. In fact, it was helping it stay up when the wind was calm and guiding it in the right direction when the wind picked up,” the father explained. “When you cut the string just now, the kite 8(lose) the support(支撑物) and fell down. Similarly, in life or at school, we may face a lot of limits(限制), like rules 9hard tasks. Sometimes, it seems that they are holding us back, 10they are actually guiding us in the right direction.”

Have you heard that a fish can bring people luck? Let’s read a story 1a girl and a fish.
In a small and pretty village by a river, there lived a girl 2(call) Jenny. One day, she saved a 3(shine) fish. The fish said, “As you saved me, you can make three wishes.” Jenny was excited and thought carefully about her wishes and what was 4(real) important.
For her first wish, she asked for a big meal to feed everyone in the village. The fish made her wish come true. The villagers were very happy and 5(celebrate) together.
For her 6(two) wish, Jenny wished for a special spring(泉) 7(help) the sick people in her village. Then the fish made it happen, and soon the spring water healed(治愈) people’s 8(ill).
As she thought about her last wish, Jenny found that she didn’t need anything more. Instead of 9(wish) for herself, she wished the fish to be free and go back to the river. The fish left happily.
Jenny’s story taught the villagers that the real riches are not in money or things, 10in helping and caring for one another and sharing what you have. From then on, all the villagers lived a happy life and passed this lesson on to their children.
