Once upon a time, there was a young man called Ma Liang. He was poor. He
helped a rich bad man to tend cattle. He liked drawing and drew pictures everywhere.
One night, he dreamed that an old man gave him a magic paintbrush and asked him to
use it to help poor people. When he woke up, he found the magic paintbrush in his
desk.
From that day on, he used the paintbrush to help people. Whenever he drew
pictures, they became real. But a few days later, his master heard about the magic
paintbrush and stole it. He drew a lot of pictures, but they could not become real. He
was very angry and asked some people to get Ma Liang.
When Ma Liang came, he said to him, “If you draw some pictures for me and
turn them to life, I will set you free. “The young man said, “I can help you, but you
should obey your words.” The bad man felt very happy and said, “I want a golden
mountain. I will go there to gather gold.” The young man drew a sea first. Then the
young man drew a golden mountain which was far away from the sea. After that he
drew a big ship. The bad man jumped into the ship. When the ship sailed to the middle

Polar bears are the world’s largest land carnivore. They typically prey on seals
and consume carcasses, such as those of dead whales. Although most polar bears are
born on land, they spend most of their time on the frozen sea. Some polar bears have
been seen swimming hundreds of miles from land, though they probably cover most of
that distance by floating on sheets of ice.
Polar bears live in one of the planet’s coldest environments and depend on a
thick coat of insulated fur, which cover a layer of insulating fat. Fur even grows on the
bottom of their paws, which protects against cold surfaces and provides a good trip on
ice. The bear’s stark white coat provide camouflage in snow and ice. However under
