The students were having their chemistry class, Miss Li was telling the children what water was like. After that, she asked her students, “What’s water like?” No one answered. Miss Li asked again, “ Why don’t you answer my question? Didn’t I tell you what water is like?”

Just then a boy put up his hand and said, “Miss Li, you told us that water has no colour and no smell. But where can we find such kind of water? The water in the river behind my house is always black and it has a bad smell.” Most of the children agreed with him.

“I’m sorry, children,” said the teacher. “Our water is getting dirtier and dirtier. That’s a problem.”

Some monkeys are playing in a tree near a lake. They are having a good time. Suddenly a little monkey cries, “Look, the moon has dropped into the water!” “Get it out, hurry!” says an old monkey. The little monkey hangs from the tree by his tail. Then each monkey hangs from the other by his legs. At last they get to the water, but they still cannot scoop up(舀上来) the moon. Another little monkey finds half a gourd(葫芦)to scoop up the moon. He gets the moon in the gourd. At that time all the monkeys come for the moon. But the gourd drops and the moon is broken. The monkeys are very sad. But when they look up, they find the moon is still high up in the sky, shining bright.
