Monday
A bee went to a river to drink. As it was drinking, it was carried away by the running water. A kind bird saw the bee’s danger . It picked a leaf off a tree and threw it into the water in front of the bee. The bee was able to climb on the leaf, and it was brought to the bank. The bee thanked the
bird and then flew away.
Several days later, the bird was sitting in a tree. It did not see that a man was aiming his gun at it. But the bee saw what the man was doing. So the bee flew into the man’s eye. The man couldn’t see the bird clearly and. was not able to shoot it. The bird flew away.
In this way, both the bird and the bee saved each other’s lives.

Wednesday
One evening, after work, I got on a train, found a seat and sat down. A man was next to me. He was reading a book. I had nothing to do, so I read the same book with the man.
I read a page and stat back, waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I found he didn’t turn the page. He just kept on reading.
There weren’t many words on the page to read. There were mostly pictures in the book. So I turned to the man and said, “You know,” I went on, “if you
learn to read faster, you can read more.”
He thought about that for a minute or two. “If I read too fast,” he said at last, “my book won’t last me to my station.”
