　　A long time ago, there lived a little princess named Nüwa who was the daughter of the Yan Emperor.

　　One day, the little princess got a boat behind her father's back, sailing to the Eastern Sea. When she was away from the beach, unfortunately, a strong wind rose and overthrew(推翻) her boat. She fell into the sea, being drowned quickly. After her death, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird with a white beak and red claws. Since it often stood on a tree, mourning(悼念) her sadly in the sound "jingwei, jingwei", people called it "Jingwei".
Jingwei hated the sea very much for taking her life. In order to keep other people from falling into the sea, the small bird decided to fill up the sea.
From then on, Jingwei flew to and fro(往返地) between the mountain and the Eastern Sea, carrying little stones and dropping them into the sea. Surprised by its behavior, the sea said to Jingwei, "Stop doing that, poor little bird. It is totally meaningless! You'll never fill me up."
Jingwei replied firmly, "I'll never stop filling you up, even if it takes me thousands of years!"

D. After she finished filling the sea up.

　　【范文赏读】
Dear Lisa,?
I'm glad to hear from you. There are really many interesting stories in Chinese. Let me tell you one of my favourites.?
　　Once upon a time, there was a farmer. One day, he was working on the farm. A hare hurried out of a hole and knocked against a stump on the farm. It died soon. The farmer was very happy. He picked up the dead hare and took it home for dinner. From then on, he didn't work any more. He just stayed by that stump, waiting for another hare every day. As a result, the crops died.
This story tells us that no pain, no gain. We should work hard to make our dreams come true.
Yours,
Li Hua
