18． Once upon a time, a hippo (河马) lived in a river next to a big tree.
One day, a bird came and nested (筑巢) in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羡慕) that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings, nor claws to climb with.
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.
Unfortunately, hippos can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered. (康复).

19．　　You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley (手推车) full of food.What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?
　　The tricks (计谋) usually start before you walk in.Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.
　　Now you're inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two product inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.
　　Of course, many people shop in supermarket because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red tickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red sticker is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly,this trick appears to work more with men than with women.
　　There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception (例外) is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.
　　Apart from what you see and smell in supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It's so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money!) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it's better to shop when it's quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues (队伍) at the checkouts (付款台). These are sometimes deliberate (故意),to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.
　　So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these ticks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.
