One day a snake was looking for food. She found a hole and went into it. “Hooray!” It was a house for mice. She said to herself happily. There, she saw some little babies of mice. “They are good dinner for me!”
She came to them and asked, “Where are your parents?” The babies answered, “They went out for food.” “Food? Good!” said the snake. “Come on and listen to me. I came here to see your parents and tell them not to steal the people’s grain any longer or I will kill you all.” The little mice worried about their own safety. “Don’t be afraid, my body is like the hole. It is a safe place. When I open my mouth, you can come into it one by one. Then we will wait for your parents coming back. Are you clear?” The little babies came into the snake from her mouth one by one.
A moment later, the mice’s parents came back with some grain. Just then they found a snake in their room. “Who are you? Why did you come into our house?” “Where are our babies?” asked the mice’s parents. The snake answered coolly, “I am a judge of the people. I knew you did a lot of bad deeds. You often steal lots of food stuff of the people. Today, I came to sentence you to death. Your babies have been in my body. Don’t you want to see them?” With these words, the snake flew at the mice.

I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an airhostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learned that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly(被彻底搜查). Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.
