14．　　There was a young man named Paul. When his father died, he left Paul a beautiful forest manor (庄园). However, before Paul could sell it for a lot of money, a lightning strike caused a fire that destroyed it. Watching the beautiful green trees turn into ash (灰烬) overnight, Paul felt his heart was broken.
　　In order to bring back the forest manor's beauty, Paul tried to borrow money from a bank. But the bank refused him, for the bank didn't believe he could pay it back. Then he felt too sad to eat or drink. So he stayed in his room for days. His wife was worried about him and asked him to take a break outside.
　　Paul went for a walk. When he turned the first corner, he saw a store with a huge crowd. It turned out that people were waiting in line to buy charcoal used for winter heating.
　　Then Paul's eyes lit up. He ran home and asked some workers to process the forest's burnt ash into charcoal. As soon as his charcoal went on the market, it sold out quickly. Paul sold more than 1, 000 boxes of charcoal.
　　The following year in spring, he spent the money buying a large number of young trees. After a few years, the forest manor that everyone thought had gone came to life again.

16．　　The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called "Dragon Head-Raising Day" (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on March 4.
　　Old people see it as the start of spring and farming. Because they believe that after Longtaitou, there will be more rain. And rain is of great importance to farming.
　　Today, many customs have faded away (消退). But one that has remained popular is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to their uncles — mainly their mothers' brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head-Raising Day.
　　Also, it is traditional for people to eat some food on that day. The food is usually named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon's beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon's ears (long'er). And spring rolls are dragon's scales (longlin).
　　In some places in Shandong, people make dragon lanterns and put them on slow boats on the rivers. The activity stands for people's best wishes and good luck.
