Little Duck is watching the sun go down. It is getting lower and lower, but his shadow is getting longer and longer.
“Why is that?” Little Duck asks his friend Old Tree. “You are older and smarter than me. Tell me - why is my shadow longer when the sun gets lower?”
Old Tree says, “That’s easy, Little Duck. The sun goes down every day, and we grow older every day. Your shadow grows longer because you are growing taller. You are becoming a big beautiful bird!”

Comments Dear Sir,
Our weekend at your hotel was bad. Our room was big but everything was very old. Our friend Robin cleaned our room and fixed a broken chair.
My mother wanted to read a book but the lamp was too small. My dad got some hamburgers from the hotel kitchen, but they were cold and tasted bad.
I wanted to watch TV but the TV didn’t work. The people in Room 301 listened to loud music. I didn’t sleep all night.
I’m sorry, but we didn’t enjoy our stay very much. Wu Yifan and family

What’s your name?How about “Max”? Hello, Max!
Friday, April 23rd
Today was a sunny day. In the morning, we rode a bike for three people. Max sat in a basket on the front of the bike. That was fun! We took pictures of the beautiful countryside. We bought some gifts and ate
some delicious food. In the afternoon, Mum ate some bad fruit and didn’t feel well. So we stayed in the hotel. Dad and I wanted to make her happy. We dressed up and made a funny play. Robin played the part of a dog. He was so cute. Max liked him so much. He jumped on him and licked him. Of course, Robin didn’t like it. We laughed and laughed. It was a bad day but also a good day!
Am I now on the moon? I can’t believe it! She must be Chang’e. Oh, there is the rabbit.
It’s time to go. Good! Here comes a spaceship. How was your holiday?
