Once upon a time, there was a king. The king was very old. He wanted to choose a boy to be the next king.
The next day the king gave a notice: all boys in the country needed to come to the king. Then they would get special flower seeds(种子)from the king. "If you can show the best flower to me in many months, you will be the next king," the king said.
Boys from all over the country went to the king to get their flower seeds. A boy named Ping also went there. Ping was excited and confident. He thought that he could grow the most beautiful flower.
Ping was careful with the seed. He put it in a pot and watered it every day. But there was nothing in his pot 4 months later. After another 4 months, Spring came, and all the other boys visited the king with beautiful flowers. Ping was sad that there was no flower in his pot.
But the king told everyone that he boiled(煮)all the seeds before giving them to the boys. So these seeds wouldn't become flowers at all. The king was happy to see Ping's pot without flowers. He decided to make Ping the next king because of his honesty(诚实). Ping was really happy.

C
It was my first day for school. Mother and I waited at the corner (角落).
There was another mother and little girl there too. The little girl had curly black
hair—which is my favorite kind. But I didn’t say hello to her because she was
from a different street.
I stayed afraid of taking the school bus for a whole week. Finally this big
yellow bus came. Then the door opened. And the bus driver said, “Hi! I’m Mr.
Woo. Get on!”
I didn’t get on because my legs didn’t want to. There was no one I knew on
the bus. “I don’t think I want to take this bus to school. Could you please drive
me to school, Mom?” I asked Mother again.
Then she gave me a little push. “Go on, Julie,” she said. “Mr. Woo is
waiting for you. Be a big girl and get on.”
I looked up at the windows. The little girl with the curly black hair was
already in the bus.
She looked very big sitting up there, and kind of happy.
“Look how big that little girl is acting, Julie,” said Mother. “Why don’t
you sit right next to her? It’ll be fun. I’m sure.”
I thought for a while and then I got on the bus.
I looked at the girl. Something shining in the girl’s hand guided me to walk
to her.
“Hi”, she said to me with a smile. “My mom said a candy is the best way to
say hi.” Her smile was as sweet as the candy in her hand. I sat down next to her.
And guess what? Mother was right. ▲
