Kelly's favourite subject is PE, but she had a hard time in PE class. She was not good at jumping very far. She had trouble throwing a ball. And she couldn't run really fast. Sometimes, some kids made fun of(取笑) her. So why does Kelly love PE?
The reason is that her teacher Mr Burns always tells her to do her best. Though she only ran for a few minutes, Mr Burns said, "Good job! Next time you will be able to go a little longer." Mr Burns even put a small box on the floor so Kelly would be able to practise jumping over it.
That night when Kelly finished dinner, she put three boxes and began practising jumping over them. She made it! Kelly thought to herself, "Tomorrow I will be able to jump over those boxes in PE class."
There was a relay race(接力赛) on Tuesday. Kelly was scared that she would not be able to go very far. When Kelly ran around the track(跑道), she heard many kids shouting, "Go, Kelly! You can do it!" That was all she needed to hear. Kelly ran fast. She finished first! The kids cheered for her. Kelly felt so good. "Thank you, Mr Burns," said Kelly. "Kelly, you ran the race, not me." "Yes, but you always said I could do it."

Are fables(寓言故事) and fairy tales different or the same? They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults too.
Fables are usually short stories. They are passed down from grandparents to parents and then to children. Fables can teach lessons to people. People can learn much from them. Most of the characters are animals. They can talk and act like humans. The most famous fables were written by a man called Aesop. There are around three hundred fables in Aesop's Fables.
