6．　　A long time ago, there lived a very, very wise King. He was so wise that he knew the ways of almost everything.
　　One day, a tiny bee lost her way, and flew into the King's beautiful palace. The little bee begged the King, "Please, let me live, and I will offer you help some other day."
　　The King was amused (被逗乐的) to think a tiny bee could one day help a great king like him. He let the bee go and said, "Go, be on your way, for I need nothing more from you today."
　　Many days later, a queen was coming to visit from a far-away land.
　　"I hear you are wise," the queen said to the king, "Would you be willing to put your smarts to a test?"
　　The King agreed and the queen did her test, with puzzles, quizzes, and difficult questions. But the King solved all the problems perfectly.
　　On the last day of her visit, the queen came up with another plan. She ordered the workers to produce ninety-nine fake flowers, but looking so real and natural. When finished, even the queen could not tell they were fake. She was sure the King would make the same mistake. And from the King's garden, she took just one real flower, and cleverly hid it among all the others.
　　The queen then said to the King, "My workers created many beautiful flowers. Ninety-nine are fake, but one is real somewhere. Can you find that one?"
　　The King smelled the flowers, but they were all so sweet, and all so beautiful. Now which one could the real flower be?The King became a bit nervous. Suddenly, he heard a buzzing sound. Something was there flying around. It was the tiny little bee he saved many days before. "I am here to repay the kindness you gave me, sir."
　　The little bee quickly flew over the flowers and sopped on the real one. The King picked the flower and handed it to the queen.
　　Finally, the queen had to give up and told everyone the kind was truly the wisest man in the world.

7．　　Trees produce oxygen for all living things. Trees help to clean the air, soil and water, making the Earth a beautiful livable place. It's time to save trees and protect forests.
　　Saving trees around you
　　Every town and city have laws about protecting trees, and tell people which tree species need protecting and when and how it's OK to cut down trees. In some areas, rare or very beneficial trees are protected by law. Knowing the laws in your area will help you better protect the trees there.
　　Take part in tree plantation
　　As important as it is to protect grown-up trees, it's also necessary to think ahead and plant new trees. They will finally get tall enough to clean the air and help keep temperatures cool. Many towns and cities have organizations working to plant trees.
　　If your town or city doesn't have organization like that, why not start one yourself?Tree by tree, you can make a difference.
　　Reduce paper use
　　It's important to start seeing the connection between the trees you love and the products you use. If you're crazy about saving trees, look for ways to use fewer paper products in your daily life:
　　● Use cloth towels instead of paper towels. It's a simple change that can reduce a lot of unnecessary waste.
　　● Use reusable containers instead of paper lunch bags.
　　● If you must use a paper product, always buy the recycled one.
　　Choose the paperless ways for bills. This simple change will make your life better and reduce the number of dead trees.
