Once upon a time, a man lived in a dark basement(地下室), where he worked all day long. Even so, he was happy because he sang happily as h worked.
Above the poor man lived a rich man, who worried all day long about his money. This made him upset. Being in a bad mood(心情), he really hated to hear the poor man singing.
He wanted the poor man to feel bad, like he did. He thought if the poor man felt bad, he might stop singing. He thought if the poor man had money, he might worry, too. So the rich man gave the poor man a lot of money.
The poor man was happier than ever until he realized that someone might steal(偷) the money from him. So he decided to hide(藏) it. But no place seemed safe enough. There was nothing he could do except(除了) worry.
The poor man worried until he grew thin and sick. He no longer felt like singing. One day, he gave the money back to the rich man. "I can live without this money, " he said. " But I cannot live without my song. '

We arrived in the clean, lovely city of Beijing early in the morning. This is our first trip to China. We hear that the food in Beijing is really delicious. So we plan to try something special- Beijing Duck for dinner tonight. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Hangzhou in .the east.
Sunday, March 27th
In Beijing, we visited the famous Great Wall which was crowded with visitors from all over the world, and bought a lot of toys for our friends in the shop. Everything is so colorful, and we took hundreds of photos there! Later today we will enjoy Beijing Opera and then leave for Hangzhou. We will take the night train to Hangzhou and stay there for two days, and then take a bus to Jiaxing.

Our trip in Jiaxing was relaxing. We visited Wuzhen. The people here love the quiet life. They are really kind. They always smile and say "Hello". Ralph and I can only speak a few words of Chinese, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness.
