Isaac Newton is one of the most famous scientists of all time, and he discovered some amazing
things. He was born in Woolsthorpe, England on 4 January 1643.

At about 12 years old, Isaac Newton was expelled from school because he fought with one of the
other students! So, his mother wanted him to be a farmer but it wasn’t meant to be as he hated
farming.So, he went back to school again and became the top student! No wonder he was such a
brilliant man.

In his university days, he discovered what is called the Law of Universal Gravitation. Apparently this
discovery came about when he saw an apple falling from a tree, and this led him to the answer that
“Whatever goes up must come down.”Eventually, this discovery allowed people to understand how
the planets and the sun moved around.

Other than that, he invented the Reflecting Telescope where he used mirrors to reflect light and
create images from that.They still use this in major telescopes today.

I am watching a Chinese opera which is very exciting. There are many singers, dancers
and acrobats on the stage. While the singers tell a story through their song, the dancers sway
their scarves in the air gracefully. After that, the acrobats, entertainers who perform spectacular
gymnastic feats, stage fights of the olden times. Some of them wielded swords and some
leaped over fire. I think they are very brave.
At the back of the stage, I can see a group of musicians. The musicians play various
oriental musical instruments. There are drums, cymbals, flutes and a gong. All the instruments
played in harmony which was very pleasing to the ear. However, the gong only sounded at
particularly exciting moments.
Lastly, there is a final act. The hero and heroine of the story. In the scene, the hero
rescues the heroine from a magician. As the story comes to its climax,the most exciting part,
the musicians also played enthusiastically that made the whole atmosphere very tense. At last,
the hero and heroine proved their courage and love for each other. Then, everyone in the
audience gives them a loud round of applause.

a. The Truthful Woodcutter


One day a woodcutter's axe accidentally fell into a river. The poor wood cutter
made a good search in the water.
But his efforts were in vain. Finally he burst into tears. Hearing his sobs, an
Angel appeared before him.
The Angel dived into the river and came up carrying a golden axe. The
woodcutter did not accept it. He stated that his axe was made of iron.
The Angel disappeared and soon returned with a silver axe. The wood cutter
again denied that it was his axe.
The Angel once again plunged into the river. It soon re-appeared carrying the
axe of the wood cutter. The poor man greeted the angel with words of profuse thanks
and great joy.
The Angel was impressed by the man's honesty. She presented him with the
golden and silver axes in recognition of his truthful nature.

Once there was a rich farmer in a village. He had a lot of land, cattle, money
and many servants. He had two sons. He led a happy life with them. After a few years,
the younger of the two sons became unhappy.
He asked his father for his share of property. His father advised him not to
demand like that. His mother also advised her son to do so. But he would not listen to
his father’s words. He got his share and sold them. He had a huge amount with him.
Once he got much money, he got a bad company of friends.
With this amount, he travelled to a distant country where he did all he wished.
He had another bad company of friends there as well. Because of this, he fell into evil
ways.
All the money was gone. He became poor. AT that time, no one helped him out
of bad company. Soon, he fell into debt. Then he understood his mistake and returned
to his country and to his parents.
He afterwards obeyed his parents and led a happy life.
