It is a cold evening in the middle of winter. But Harry’s house is warm. He reads a book in the room. The book is about a Chinese doctor and his invention (发明) .
The doctor was called Zhang Zhongjing. It was very cold in his city. The people could not stay warm. Zhang saw many poor people. (A) He wanted to make something warm for them to eat. He cooked mutton and vegetables. Then he put the mutton and vegetables inside the small dough (面团) ears. He put them in the soup and cooked them. In this way Zhang invented dumplings! The winter solstice came. It is the shortest day of the year. It has the longest, coldest night. Zhang gave the dumplings to the people in the town. They ate the dumplings and felt warm. People thanked Zhang.
After Harry reads the story, he tries to make Zhang’s mutton dumplings. But unluckily when he cooks them, all the dumplings break. (B) They taste bad. Harry is sad. It is the winter solstice. His parents will be home soon. He wants his parents to eat dumplings on this day. Harry looks around. He finds a bag of mutton dumplings in the freezer (冰箱). He cooks them quickly. Harry’s parents come home. They eat the dumplings together with Harry. They love the dumplings. Harry tells his parents about the bad dumplings. His mom laughs, “It’s OK. We are all together, and we have hot dumplings. It’s a great winter solstice, isn’t it? thank you!”

In a small Chinese town, there lived a poor young man named Ma Liang. He loved painting. One night, an old man with a long beard visited Ma Liang in a dream. He gave Ma Liang a paintbrush (画笔).
“Use this magic paintbrush to help the poor,” he said, “but don’t use it to help people who are rich and greedy (贪婪的), or the skill will leave your fingers and you will never paint again.”
When Ma Liang woke up, he found the paintbrush lying on the table by his bed. He painted a butterfly, and he was surprised to see it fly off the page and out of the window.
Ma Liang ran out of his little house and started painting things for people. He painted a buffalo (水牛) to help a farmer, food for hungry people and clothes for people who were cold.
A rich man heard about the paintbrush and asked Ma Liang to paint some gold for him, but Ma Liang refused (拒绝).
“If you don’t paint for me, I’ll cut your fingers off,” the rich man said. “Then you will never paint again.”
So Ma Liang painted an island of gold in the middle of a blue sea. “How will I get there?” asked the rich man. Ma Liang pointed a boat for the rich man. Then the rich man got in it and went on his way toward the island happily.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know where to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.
Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.
It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn’t give up. The little bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don’t you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again? Because I keep making my efforts. I’m happy.” said the spider.
Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a will in the heart.
The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face. “I’m happy because I can help others.” said the lame duck.
So the bird saw it: happiness is a love in the heart.
The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn't know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You’re going to die. Why are you still so happy?” “Because my dream will come true,” said the little flower. “What is your dream?” “To produce sweet fruit.”
The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.
So the little bird no more looked for happiness because it had seen the truth: happiness is not in the faraway (遥远的) place but in your own heart. You are the maker of your own happiness.
