My name is Xue Mingwen, a middle school student. My brother is two years younger than me. He is now in Grade 6 at a primary school. Both of us like reading famous stories and we often share storybooks. Some stories are famous because people have been telling them for many years. Others, such as fables (寓言), are famous because they have an excellent ending or teach a good lesson - a moral in other words.
The other day, my brother shared a very old story from an English storybook. Both of us were attracted (吸引) by the new, useful language in the fable that everyone can tell. Although the story was simple, it was educational. It is our decision that we should share it here. We hope you can learn more words and a new way or two of expressing your ideas in English after you read this fable.
