A long time ago, there was an old poor fisherman who did not get enough fish for him and his family to eat. One day, when he fished, he found a bottle. He was very happy that the bottle looked very nice. He thought he could sell the bottle and make some money. But he also had a strong wish to know what was inside the bottle, so he took the top off the bottle, and a big, magical, scary genie came out.
The genie was in the bottle for four hundred years and was very angry.

Once, a circle (圆) lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But it was incomplete, so it could only roll (滚动) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece.
Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly (完美地). The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that (既然) it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It got to know how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.

A long time ago, there was an old poor fisherman who did not get enough fish for him and his family to eat. One day, when he fished, he found a bottle.

The genie was in the bottle for four hundred years and was very angry.

Once, a circle (圆) lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But it was incomplete, so it could only roll (滚动) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece.
Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly (完美地). The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that (既然) it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It got to know how different the world was when it rolled so quickly.
