【第一篇：老房子The Old House】

There was a very old house in a street. A boy liked this house very much. An old man was living in that house.

The old man always looked out of the window. That's why they made a friendship with each other. The next Sunday morning, the boy visited the old house, and he talked to the old man.

"I have two toy soldiers, and this is one of them. I will give you one, because you look so lonely. ""Little friend, thank you for giving me such a nice gift and visiting me." The old man welcomed the boy and said.

The old man and the boy were so happy together. But the toy soldier started to complain. "I can't stand this house any more. I am too lonely and bored in this house." "Don't be sad. Instead, this house is beautiful, isn't it?"

"I am sick and tired everyday in here."" You have to stay here because you were the gift for my friend. Don't you understand that?" "I will go to a battlefield." The toy soldier yelled. The toy soldier fell to the ground, but nobody could find him.

"I will find where he is." But he couldn't find the toy soldier. It was too far away to be found. After dark the boy went back to his house. When the winter came, the old man died. A few days later after the old man's death, the old house was cleared away and a new house was built in that place. After many years, the little boy grew into a young man, and he married. He moved to the old man's house with a beautiful garden.

"Ouch! What is this?" His wife shouted out in pain. There was something sharp on the ground. Can you guess what it was? It was the toy soldier that he and the old man had been searching for. "Let me see."

The boy, now a grown-up, looked at the toy soldier carefully and smiled.

【第二篇：茶壶The Teapot】

there was a teapot made of china, and she liked to boast about herself. she had one beautiful long mouth and a large grip on her front and rear, and she was particularly proud of them. but she hushed up about her ugly lid that was broken, cracked and glued loosely.

teacups, a cream pitcher and a sugar bowl teased the teapot about her broken and scarred lid all the time. whenever she listened to their teasing while she was boasting about herself, she suddenly felt depressed.

on all such occasions, she comforted herself by saying this, "yes, i know what my weak point is. everyone has not only his own weakness but also an excellent talent at the same time. the teacup has his grip, and the sugar bowl has his cover, but i have both. besides, i have even a mouth that they don't have. even if sugar bowl and cream pitcher stimulate people's appetite, i am the one who bestows favors on thirsty people. i am the queen of a tea table!"

one day, a very beautiful and elegant hand picked up the teapot. but by mistake, the hand dropped the teapot to the floor. her mouth and grip, which the teapot used to be proud of, and her lid were all broken into pieces, and people made such a fuss as they cleaned up the hot boiling water.

the teapot began to be treated as old and useless from that moment. she was shocked by the fact that everyone laughed at her instead of at the careless hand which dropped the teapot. the people gave her away to a beggar. "there's no hope for me." the teapot moaned and cried about her situation.

even though the teapot had never imagined before, her new and different life began. one day, the teapot got filled with soil. she got another shock from it on that day, but someone planted a flower seed in her. the seed took root in the teapot and began to grow.

the teapot felt the seed as her heart. she came to life and breathed. while her heart was beating energetically, the seed pushed out new buds, and they bloomed. the teapot could forget her past, troubles and worries as she watched the flowers.

but the flowers did not even say thank you to the teapot. they seemed as if they didn't know that the teapot even existed. whoever looked at the flowers were all impressed by their beauty. the teapot just felt happy by watching them.

one day, someone moved the flowers from the teapot to a better flowerpot. the teapot was broken in two pieces and thrown away in the corner of a garden, but the teapot lived her life keeping her memories to herself. 单词注释：

【第三篇：拇指姑娘】

once upon a time, there lived a woman who had no children. the woman went to a sorcerer and begged, "i want to raise a pretty baby." the sorcerer then gave her a flower seed. as soon as the seed was planted, a tulip blossomed forth. from the floral leaf, a lovely baby girl who was as short as a thumb was born.

"mother, how are you?" the baby girl who came out from the flower said hello to her mother with a beautiful voice. the woman was very happy and wanted to give her a pretty name. "a baby who is as short as a thumb...i will name her as thumbelina."

thumbelina led a happy life sailing her ship across a pond filled with flowers. but one night, there appeared a horrible-looking toad when thumbelina was asleep. "she is really a pretty girl. i am going to make her my bride." the toad carried the sleeping girl on his warty back and went to his pond. thumbelina woke up in the morning, and was so surprised that she could do nothing but weep silently.

she thought that she would rather die than become the wife of a toad. the fish who saw this unhappy event were sympathetic towards the poor girl, and said, "thumbelina is pitiful. let's help her." the fish cut the leaf of a lotus flower on which thumbelina was riding, so that she could run away from the toad. she was roaming around the riverside riding on the leaf of a lotus flower. at that time, a beetle came flying about and spied the top of the head of thumbelina.

"uh! she is a very pretty girl. okay, i am going to make her my friend." the beetle grabbed thumbelina and flew into the forest. "how about that? she is my friend. isn't she very pretty?" the beetle bragged about her to his other beetle friends, but they all thought that she was an odd creature. "what? she only has two legs but has no wings like we do. it is really strange."

with his friends making fun of him, the beetle began to dislike thumbelina. he went away with his friends, leaving the girl alone in the branches. she spent many lonely days eating tree fruits and flowers. "dear god, please send me to my mother." thumbelina wandered around the forest shivering from cold and hunger.

after some time, it began to snow. thumbelina was looking for a place to take shelter when she finally saw a twinkling light. "i am thumbelina. please allow me to take a rest in your house." a field mouse woman greeted the girl warmly saying, "oh my dear, please come in."

the field mouse woman loved thumbelina as if she were her own daughter. one day, a rich mole from a neighboring burrow came to the house for a holiday. he said, "she is a really pretty girl. it would be good if she became the wife of my son." the field mouse woman was very happy about what the rich mole said. but thumbelina did not like that haughty fellow. yet she was unable to reject what the field mouse woman wanted.

thumbelina was taking a walk sadly in an underground passage, which was actually the house of the mole. at that time, she found a swallow that had fallen on the ground. "ah, poor. please gain your strength." thumbelina nursed the swallow earnestly. finally, spring came, and the swallow gained strength and was about to leave the underground swallow passage. he said, "dear thumbelina, come with me to the flower country where there is nothing but sun and flowers."

she agreed and rode on the back of the swallow to the flower land, where the prince of the country greeted her saying, "welcome, thumbelina! i was waiting for you." there began a great party to welcome the happy girl. the prince said, "dear thumbelina, would you please marry me and become the queen of the flower country?"

she said, "yes, i will!" the prince then gave his royal crown and wings to thumbelina. to her bird companion she said, "dear swallow, please deliver this news to my mother." thereafter, the prince and thumbelina led a very happy life in the flower country. 单词注释：
