Once upon a time, there was a man named Anansi. He knew that he was very clever, but he also knew he wasn't wise. He didn't like this, but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom (智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.
Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous (嫉妒)of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.
Then his youngest son walked by, "What are you doing, father?" he asked and Anansi told him. "Why don't you carry the basket on your back instead?" his son said.
Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn't happy. "I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!" he said.

People hold "Be Kind to Animals Week" in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. If you can't take part in it, you can also do other things. First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, spend more time this week playing with it. Remember to give it delicious food.

Where did you go yesterday? Did you hear music at any of those places? Today most stores and restaurants play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm. Scientists believe that music changes the way people behave(行为).
According to some scientists, the sound of western classical(古典的)music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks.
