Once upon a time, there were two seeds(种子). They were good friends. They often talked with each other when they were free. One day, they had nothing to do. They lay on the ground. They looked up at the sky and had a chat with each other.
The first seed said,“I want to grow! Then I can enjoy the sun and the rain!” Later, it grew. It had a chance to enjoy the sun and the rain.
The second seed said,“I am afraid of growing up. If I grow, I will have to live in the soil. Little animals may come up to me and eat me. How terrible! If I become a beautiful flower, a child will come and pick me. It is much better for me to wait. It's a dangerous way to be alive.” It did nothing and refused(拒绝) to grow.

There was an old fox who lived a happy life with his family. One day, a tiger came around. The mother fox became very nervous(紧张的), because she knew her babies were in danger. "Don't worry," said the old fox. Then he told the babies' mother something.
When the tiger came along, the old fox asked, "What are the babies crying for, my dear?"
"They're asking for a tiger's meat, so we must find a tiger," the mother fox answered.
The tiger ran for his life, and later he met a wolf. "Why are you running so fast?" asked the wolf. The tiger told him what he heard. "Don't be so silly," said the wolf. "Go back with me, and we'll have a good meal."
