“This candle has some oil , how it has put out?” asked the child.

“Depressed?”The child said baffled , “Why depressed ? It is not our team’s turn to attack !”

The Courage of A Butterfly
One day , a caterpillar asked a butterfly , “How can I become a butterfly ?”
“ To become a butterfly , you must first have the desire of flying , and then have the courage to rush out the safe , warm cocoon that chains you. ”
“Isn’t it death ?”
“From the surface it is death , but actually a new birth . In real life , this is the difference . Some become butterflies , but some die due to escape.”

“Good , very good , thank you for your care ,” the lark said , “ but the only thing I can’t stand is your noise .”
The next day the lark came to the crow’s home with a gift to thank him .
The crow said , “ I don’t need your gift . It’s okay if you don’t mind my noise .”
The lark felt so ashamed that she found her word had hurt her friend by accident .”
