In the middle of a dark forest, there lives an owl(猫头鹰). All the animals know that he is the wisest(聪明的) among all of them. So they often go to him and tell him their troubles. Then the owl always teaches them what they should do.
One day, a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. “what’s wrong with you?” asks the owl.
“I’m not happy at all. I don’t want to be a bird,” the bird says.
“Why don’t you want to be a bird?” asks the owl.
“I am so small, weak and useless,” she cries. “I want to be big and strong like the lion. He is very important, but I am not”
Then the owl whispers(耳语) something in her ear. At once the bird dries her tears and goes away. One week later, the bird came back. “Oh, thank you very much. You are a very wise owl,” she says to the owl. “I am very happy now. Every day, I sit on top of the tallest tree and watch for(监视) lions and tigers.

When I’m in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. I put my heart into it so that I’ll forget all the troubles. I’ve formed the habit of reading in this way.
When I was a little boy, I was interested in picture books and storybooks. When I was a middle school student, I began to read novels, plays, essays (散文) and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little I took great interest in literature (文学) and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest among middle school students in our city.
Reading The Emperor’s New Clothes, I had to let out a burst of laughter over his silly action. The Little Match Girl couldn’t keep me from crying for her misery (悲惨). Robinson Crusoe took me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply impressed (留下印象) by Helen Keller’s perseverance (毅力). Besides these, books also tell me other things — how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between the right and the wrong. In a word, good books can make me know what I didn’t know before. So I think of good books as my best friends.
