The ray of the warm sunlight told us that it was spring. A lion was sleeping peacefully in the forest.
While the lion was fast asleep, a mouse went on top of the lion. The bold mouse played happily on top of the lion. "Yuppie! This is really fun." The mouse ran around thumping and stomping here and there.
The lion was not able to sleep with all the racket. The lion knew that there was someone on top of him. So, the lion made a surprise attack and rolled on the ground.
And the mouse fell over. When the lion saw the mouse he was relieved and said, "Whew! It was only a mouse."
However, far away a fox had seen the scene. The fox the laughed mockingly to the lion and said, "You're as big as a mountain and you're afraid of the mouse. You're a coward!" The fox kept making fun of the Lion.
Finally the lion spoke, "I wasn't afraid of the mouse. I was only shocked to find a bold enough animal not afraid to run around on top of a lion." When the fox heard this he quietly left.

It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. "How happy we are here!" they cried to each other.
One day the Giant came back. 1-1e had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle.When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.
"What are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.
"My own garden is my own garden," said the Giant; "any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself." So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.

There is an English proverb saying "Honesty is the best policy." Which signifies the importance of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
Honesty is regard as the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. Through the ages, people stress sincerity, praise highly sincerity. It has already incorporated the blood of our national culture.
It is usually better to be honest than dishonest.Sometimes honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone,but on the whole telling the truth is less harmful than lying.Dishonesty can result in guilty feelings,cause distrust among people and even ruin your reputation.
One of the worse things about lying is that it causes a guilty conscience.Even if no one ever discovers the lie,you will know about it and it will bother you for a long time.Another problem occurs when others know about your lies.As a result,people will not trust you any longer and you will lose your reputation and all your friends.Do you still remember the boy who cried wolf for several times so no one would trust him?At last all his sheep were eaten by the wolf. His dishonesty brought him shame as well as damage.
So to sum up,honesty not only brings us honor and friendship,but also material gains.Honesty is the best policy we can take.
