Dopey and Grumpy tells the story of two kids. Dopey often misses something, and Grumpy has a bad temper (脾气). They make many silly mistakes and finally learn a lesson. Ren Rongrong wrote the story in 1956.
Ren also translated (翻译) children’s books. He translated more than 80 works, including Peter Pan and Pinocchio. However, he still wanted to write his own stories. “When I translated, I wasn’t pleased with the works. If I wrote, I would write them in another way to gain children’s hearts.” With this idea, he began his writing.
The idea of Dopey and Grumpy came from his own life. “I was a classic ‘Dopey’, often forgetting some things. And my kid is ‘Grumpy’ when I ask him to do something,” said Ren. Then he thought, why not let them keep their shortcomings (缺点) and show them as they are “They might learn a hard lesson in doing so,” Ren said.
Ren usually wrote until midnight. He could even write more than 5, 000 words within half an hour! “If I have the chance to live again, I still want to do it. I feel pleased that my books can bring children happiness,” Ren said.

B.Because he wasn’t happy with some books.
C.Because children didn’t like reading translated books.
D.Because there weren’t many children’s books at that time.

Long long ago, there was a monster (怪物) called “Nian”. At the end of the winters, he often appeared in a village and ate the animals and villagers. The monster seemed very strong and nobody could fight him. So the villagers had to hide in the mountains.
One day, a smart old man came to the village. He told an old woman how to sear (把……吓跑) Nian away. That evening when Nian arrived at the village, he saw only the old woman’s house was bright. Nian got close to the house. Suddenly, he heard the noise of firecrackers (鞭炮). The monster felt afraid and jumped. And then he found the house was covered in red paper. This scared him even more and he ran out of the village quickly. When the other villagers returned, they saw that the old woman didn’t die!
The villagers later learned that Nian was afraid of red colors, light and loud noises. They decided to put up red couples (对联), set off (点燃) firecrackers and stay up late when it was time for Nian’s visit at the end of winter. That is the legend (传奇) of how the Spring Festival celebration began.

My Favorite Story
My favorite story is The Fox and the Crow.
The fox wanted to get the meat in the crow’s mouth. So he said a lot of beautiful words to the crow. The crow was so happy that he opened his mouth to sing a song. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the meat fell onto the ground and the fox got it.
I think the story is interesting and meaningful. It reminds me that we should never believe the person who wants to cheat us.
