Was the Dog Clever？
It was Monday．Mrs.Smith’s dog was hungry，but there was not any meat in the house．
Considering that there was no better way，Mrs.Smith took a piece of paper，and wrote the following words on it，“Give my dog half a pound of meat．”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently，“Take this to the butcher’s，and he’s going to give you your lunch today．”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth，the dog ran to the butcher’s shop．It gave the paper to the butcher．The butcher read it carefully，recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to．The dog was very happy，and ate the meat up immediately．
At midday，the dog came to the shop again．It gave the butcher a piece of paper again．After reading it，he gave it half a pound of meat once more．
The next day，the dog came again exactly at midday．And as usual，it brought a piece of paper in the mouth．This time，the butcher did not take a look at the paper，and gave the dog its meat，for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers．
But，the dog came again at four o’clock．And the same thing happened once again．To the butcher’s more surprise，it came for the third time at six o’clock，and brought with it a third piece of paper．The butcher felt a bit puzzled．He said to himself，“This is a small dog．Why does Mrs.Smith give it so much meat to eat today？”

| B．because he happened to have sold out all the meat in his shop |

The elephant is the biggest four-legged animal in the world．It is also the gentlest，but not always！
Elephants are like us in some ways．They live for a long time—fifty or sixty years．They can remember things very well．They never forget great sadness or great happiness．When female elephant dies，her daughters and her granddaughters are sad for many months．They stay with the dead body．Then they carry a bit of it away with them．They never forget a dear friend．
Elephants are like us，but they are also different．They live in families of females．There will be a few young males a few“baby boys”．But the females will soon send them away．And elephant family keeps only its daughters，mothers and grandmothers．And its great-grandmothers．

The Magic Medicine

“When she drinks your medicine，she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth，”the king said．“If you don’t do this．you’ll have a beating．”The doctors thought it impossible，but they dared not say anything against the king’s order．Just then an old doctor stepped forward．“Oh，we shall certainly obey your order，”he said，“but it takes time．We have to dig a mineral from Mount Kunlun when the snow melts for the second time．The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years．So we need twelve years．”
