21、Long ago, there was a queen who lived in a palace. She felt bored and said to her advisor (顾问), “All the things around me are too boring. I need a different kind of beauty. Let everyone know that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world. And the prize will be this crown (王冠).”

Several days later, lots of people came to the competition and showed their things. The queen was not satisfied with what she saw. The advisor suggested, “What you are looking for cannot be brought to you. You must look for it by yourself. What about a journey?”

The queen was interested in the idea, so she started immediately. As she was on top of the hill near her palace, she looked down and suddenly something cried in her heart. “Why have I never found my palace so beautiful?”

The queen spent one year travelling. She saw beauty on the farm, in the forest and even in the stars twinkling (闪烁) at night on her journey. But what was the most beautiful thing? She thought it over. Suddenly, she understood beauty was everywhere. She should learn to enjoy the world. She left the pieces of her crown at different places that she had seen. As time went by, the queen’s crown got smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

She found the most beautiful thing at last. It was the world!

22、Every year, we celebrate many special days—Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and New Year’s Day. In some countries, there is a special day for playing tricks on others. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool’s Day, and is celebrated on April 1.

Many people believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was on April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles Ⅸ of France moved it to January 1st.

Some people did not like this, and chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people “April fools” and played jokes and tricks on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.

On April Fool’s Day, jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock ahead one hour, or change sugar into salt. In Scotland, April Fool’s Day lasts for two days. The second day is called “Taily Day”—for one’s “tail”. On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying “kick me” on a person’s back or behind. Other countries have their own “Fool’s Day”. In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31. In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. Jokes bring about a lot of laughter, and many shouts of “April Fool”!

23、

Zheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371. Eleven years later, he was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.

The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader between 1405 and 1433. Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships have even reached South America and Australia.

Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kilometers during the years of his travels. Zheng He led a fleet with 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers’ horses.

On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.

It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. The Columbus(哥伦布) of the east, Zheng He, died in 1433. After that, the new king, had these trips stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels, because he believed the trips were unlucky and too expensive. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of great Zheng He.
