There was a young man named Paul. When his father died, he left Paul a beautiful forest manor (庄园). However, before Paul could sell it for a lot of money, a lightning strike caused a fire that destroyed it. Watching the beautiful green trees turn into ash (灰烬) overnight, Paul felt his heart break.
In order to bring back the forest manor’s beauty, Paul tried to borrow money from a bank. But the bank refused him, for the bank didn’t believe he could pay it back. Then he felt too sad to eat or drink. So he stayed in his room for days. His wife was worried about him and asked him to take a break outside.
Paul went for a walk. When he turned the first comer, he saw a store with a huge crowd. It turned out that people were waiting in line to buy charcoal used for winter heating.
Then Paul’s eyes lit up. He ran home and asked some workers to process the forest’s burnt ash into charcoal. As soon as his charcoal went on the market, it sold out quickly. Paul sold more than 1,000 boxes of charcoal.

It was the middle of April. A large number of birds were flying northward. Thousands of ducks led the way as they usually do.
But things were different that year. The north winds were very strong. Heavy snowstorms came quite late in the spring. The birds badly needed a place to get out of the storms and to rest during their long flights. Thousands of ducks couldn’t find a place to rest in Nebraska.
At the time a terrible disease that kills birds broke out in Nebraska. Ducks were dying in great numbers. Hawks that lived nearby were spreading the disease to the water birds that landed on the small lakes.
The wildlife workers were not able to stop the terrible disease. As they worried over the dying birds, they suddenly thought of something which was worse. In a few days the whoopers, one of the most beautiful birds, were going to fly across the state.
What would happen if even one of the forty-nine remaining whoopers was to land near the sick birds If a whooper got the disease, it could spread to all the rest.
A bad snowstorm blew over Nebraska as the first whoopers fought their way across the state.
They were forced down by storm. And they landed right in the middle of one of the places where the disease was spreading. A farmer was the first to see the nine whoopers on the lake. The wildlife workers quickly got ready to save the whoopers. They worked for long hours, trying to frighten the birds away to a safe place. They fired guns, but the whoopers didn’t move.
At last it stopped snowing! With a small plane the workers were able to drive all but two of the whoopers to a safe place.
All night long the workers stayed in the cold as they watched over the whoppers. Suddenly, as day began to break, the last two whoppers took off. They were driven by the airplane to a safe place.
Slowly the winds became less strong. The nine whoppers flew off to the north. The wildlife workers were tired but relieved.

Dear Li Hu,
Thanks for telling me about your problems! It is true that every student is very nervous before a test. As you say, you are worried about tomorrow’s English test because you are not good at English and are afraid of failing the test. Be more confident, then you will smile at any problem. Get ready for the next challenge, though you might fail the exam. You have been used to the life now. However, you don’t know how to get on with the new teachers and classmates in the senior high school. In my opinion, don’t close your mind! Open your heart to everyone and try to be friendly to them. If you do so, you will share your happiness with them. As for your plan, I think it’s good for you to go traveling and do some sports. But don’t forget to spend more time on your poor subjects to prepare for your new study.
Wish you good luck! Wish you happy every day!
Yours sincerely,
Jenny
