Story 1 : The Ugly Duckling
Once upon time, a mother duck sat on her eggs. She
felt tired of sitting on them. She just wished the eggs would break out.
Several days later, she got her wish. The eggs cracked
and some cute little ducklings appeared. "Peep, peep" the little
ducklings cried. "Quack, quack" their mother greeted in return.
However the largest egg had not cracked. The mother
duck sat on it for several days. Finally, it cracked and a huge ugly duckling
waddled out. The mother duck looked at him in surprise. He was so big and very
gray. He didn't look like the others at all. He was like a turkey
When the mother duck brought the children to the pond
for their first swimming lesson. The huge grey duckling splashed and paddled
about just as nicely as the other ducklings did. "That is not a turkey
chick. He is my very own son and quite handsome" the mother said proudly
However, the other animals didn't agree. They hissed
and made fun of him day by day. Even his own sisters and brothers were very
unkind. "You are very ugly" they quacked.
The little poor duckling was very unhappy. "I
wish I looked like them" he thought to himself. One day, the ugly duckling
run away and hid in the bushes. The sad duckling lived alone through the cold
and snow winter. Finally the spring flowers began to bloom. While he was
swimming in the pond, he saw three large white swans swimming toward him.
"Oh, dear. these beautiful birds will laugh and peck me too" he said
to himself. But the swans did not attack him. Instead, they swam around him and
stroked him with their bills. As the ugly duckling bent his neck to speak to
them, he saw his reflection in the water. He could not believe his eyes.
"I am not an ugly duckling but a beautiful swam" he exclaimed.
He was very happy. From that day on, he swam and
played with his new friends and was happier than he had never been.

Story 2 : The Story of John and Amy
There was once an arrogant girl called Amy, who wanted
to prove that she was the best student in the class. So she chose the weakest
student, john, and challenged her to a contest, both had to make a toy windmill
out of lolly sticks. Whoever got the highest mark from their teacher would be
the winner.
john accepted and a deadline of one week was set for
the completion of each model. john began collecting lolly sticks straight away,
but Amy messed about, visited her friends, and told them how she was better
than John, and how john’s windmill would inevitably suck.
It was the night before the deadline, and Amy, so
confident that she would win the contest, hadn’t even begun building yet.
At 10 pm she decided that she had better get started,
but she was so tired from visiting her friends that she fell asleep before she
had even opened a tube of wood glue. The day of the contest dawned, and the
teacher wanted to see both windmills.
john presented her model, which was small, leaned
slightly to one side, and looked a little odd, due to the fact that the lolly
sticks were all dirty and used. john explained that he had collected them from
all around town. Next came Amy’s turn. Her name was called, but she wasn’t
there.
The teacher was about to award the prize to john, when
his rival burst into the classroom, red in the face, holding aloft a
beautifully-crafted and lovingly-painted toy windmill made out of brand new
lolly sticks. The teacher and all the students were astonished, and Amy’s face
glowed with pride. The only problem was the price tag, which read $25. It was
still visible for everybody to see, dangling beneath Amy’s model. Amy was
humiliated, but john was named the winner of the contest, and placed his model
on the teacher’s desk nervously.

Story 3 : The Smartest
Once there was a farmer from Laos. Every morning and
every evening, he ploughed his field with his buffalo.
One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo
working in the field. The tiger was very surprised to see a big animal
listening to a small animal. The tiger wanted to know more about the big animal
and the small animal.
After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the
buffalo; “you are so big and strong. Why do you do everything the man tells
you?” The buffalo answered; “oh, the man is very intelligent”.
The tiger asked; “can you tell me how intelligent he
is?”. “No, I can’t tell you”, said the buffalo; “but you can ask him”
So the next day the tiger asked to the man; “Can I see
your intelligence?”. But the man answered; “at home”. “Can you go and get it?”
asked the tiger. “Yes” said the man; “but I am afraid you will kill my buffalo
when I am gone. Can I tie you to a tree?”
After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he didn’t go
home to get his intelligence. He took his plough and hit the tiger. Then he
said; “Now you know about my intelligence even you haven’t seen it.”
