Mimi the beaver
Mimi the beaver has a dream of being an architect. When he grows up, he carries his bags on his back, bids farewell to his parents and swims to the distant water in great strides. Mimi found two beautiful areas of water where he wanted to build a home of his own -- a villa surrounded by water. Mimi looked at the trees around her, listened to the sweet songs of the birds, and began to think about the future. He imagined the beautiful villa: a living room, a kitchen, ten guest rooms, and of course rooms for himself and his future beloved beaver girl... "Wow, what happiness! Mimi couldn't contain her joy... First, he had to build a dike to keep the water from flooding his house. Mimi's thoughtful, but building a dike is a big job. Mimi was so hard. He gnawed the tree trunk with his sharp teeth and let it fall into the water. After he had eaten a few, he fell flat on his stomach. But Mimi, the industrious architect, took a break and went on gnawing the tree trunk from day to night. The problem was how to get the tree trunk to the body of water where he was going to build his house. So Mimi begged Brother Water to help carry it. Water elder brother listened very proud: "Mimi, today I can help you carry the trunk, tomorrow I can also break your dike, it all depends on my mood!" Mimi was so happy that he only heard the first part of the sentence and didn't hear what the second part was. After the elder brother carried the tree trunk to the water that Mimi wanted, Mimi began to stick the trunk upright into the mud. Mimi's diligence was seen by many nearby beavers. They were moved by Mimi and helped her find stones to tie down the tree trunks. Soon Mimi's dam was built. Then Mimi's villa was finished. The round roof, viewed from a distance, looked like a charcoal kiln with a diameter of 23 meters. The thick walls were coated with clay. Inside were spacious dry bedrooms with a front door and a back door. The name of the villa is "The Family of Rice Grains". Because Mimi married a beaver girl named Granular who came to help. Mimi asks everyone to toast at the "Rice House", but careless Mimi forgets to invite the water brother. Brother Water was a little angry. If I didn't help carry the tree trunk, you could have built the house so smoothly? Brother Water decided to teach Mimi a lesson. The next morning, when Mimi and granular are still immersed in sleep, the ear suddenly came a roar. The original water brother impulse, full strength to hit the dam, the dam was destroyed! "Rice House" was also seriously damaged by the water brother. "Many of the animals saw this, and felt sorry for the hardworking Mimi, so they decided to help her build a stronger dike -- a dike made of many big stones. And those who heard the news came to the beaver friends also hastened to help: soon, the dam was repaired, "rice home" is also repaired. It was better and stronger than the last one. To celebrate this great victory, Mimi invited many neighbors, but this time he did not forget to invite his brother Water. And the water brother knew he made a big mistake, in the celebration day, he did not dare to attend, but quietly sent a letter of apology, and quietly flow away.Because Mimi to invite

Wash dishes on Sunday
It was another Sunday, and once again the staff of our extra-curricular Study Group gathered at my home. In this cooperative study, we set an activity for ourselves: 15 minutes of housework, which is also a kind of learning. I specially discussed with my mother: this housework is to wash the dishes for us. Because mother is too busy, sometimes several meals dishes together, this time is the same. When I came to the kitchen, I saw a big pile of bowls in the sink. I thought: Isn't it easy to wash dishes? Wang Yuning opened the faucet, I randomly grabbed one, desperately kneading. Knead one, the bowl still has a thick layer of oil. So did the rest of the class. How to do that? When we are at a loss. This is because my mother might be worried. She went into the kitchen and came over. I quickly asked: "Mom, why can't I wash the dishes? "Mom smiled and replied," Of course, you can't wash the dishes in cold water. You have to wash it in hot water, because hot water removes the oil completely." After listening to my mother's instruction, we suddenly realized that we quickly heated hot water, squeezed some dishwashing liquid in the bowl, and then carefully knead. While he was washing, Liang Shuming said, "There is a lot of knowledge in washing dishes. It seems like you have to learn everything." After a while, the bowl in my hand was washed by us. And so I washed the second one, and the third one. At last, all the dishes were washed by us. Looking at the polished pile of washed dishes, I do not know how happy. We really benefited a lot from this extra-curricular study group activity. Because we not only learned to wash dishes, but also learned a truth: nothing is easy, so must learn. Learning is everywhere.

Humor cell
I watched a cartoon today. A father and son were on their way to their son's painting class. The father is like a slave to his son, holding an umbrella for his son, carrying his backpack and drawing board for his son, and buying snacks for his son. What about the son? Sheltered by an umbrella and snacks, I walked leisurely, regardless of my father's sweat. On the top of the cartoon were two lines: Those who did not carry the board, and those who did not carry the board. After reading this comic, I feel the same way. The author is deeply moved by the phenomenon of "little emperors" and "little princesses" in real life. Why am I not? Once, I saw such an interesting thing in the park. A six-year-old boy was surrounded by a large crowd. Seems to be the little boy's father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, but in front of the "little emperor" is a "loyal". The snacks are full, the drinks are gone, and the video games are still on, which keeps him happy." When the emperor is happy, his subjects are happy. After a while, the boy wants to play on the slide, and several "subjects" prepare to catch the boy below. "Brush! The little boy slipped down, but many people were confused and didn't catch it. The little boy falls down. This kind of accident happens in Kingdom of Heaven. Come on! Grandma has been coaxing grandson, grandpa has been scolding dad, dad bowed his head to admit his mistake, took out snacks "shock" little boy. This isn't the first time I've seen something like this! In modern life, people's living standard has been improved and families have become rich. The new generation is already living a life of opening their mouth and reaching for their clothes. In addition, they are the only child, parents spoil us more. But where do they find out? They think they're sending us to heaven, but they're sending us to hell! Poor inherit the wind, parents all over the world, wake up!

As long as I can
Happiness, it really in my side? Yes, I can answer you with conviction and certainty: Yes! Let me tell you: when you drink a cup of hot water in the cold winter night, this is happiness; When you are enjoying the care and happiness brought to you by mom and dad, this is happiness; When you see your work in the newspaper, the excitement is also a kind of happiness. Happiness is when you laugh with difficulties, when you are happy, when you spend time with someone to comfort you when you are sad! Happiness is no matter at any time will not be lonely, lonely. Why, why did I not perceive this star-filled happiness at first? Dad says happiness is sleeping in on Sunday. Mom says happiness is having a career of your own. My brother said that happiness is to be admitted to a famous university. My sister said that happiness is a lollipop every day. When I was a child, I liked the comic book pretty girl, when my mother bought me this comic book I yearn for, I was very happy. Thinking about it now, isn't happiness just pure happiness at that moment? I open a smile, is not the witness of happiness? That's how easily I got the happiness I wanted. However, if a person's heart without desire, that happiness and how to talk about. Happiness is a unique experience, is a kind of endless aftertaste. Happiness is not being rich, it is more a feeling, a feeling that you think you are happy; Happiness is not above a person, under ten thousand people, more is a kind of enjoyment, a kind of happiness you think you are happy to enjoy. In fact, happiness is in your side. Maybe now, happiness has come to you...

Little one
Ants, the "little ones" of the animal world, may be little known. But as I, a lover of ants, the feelings for it are not general. It is true that the ant is small, but it can lift objects many times its own size. How wonderful! Not to mention, ants have many unexpected abilities, such as transmitting information through their antennae. I think ants can give us some inspiration, some people will change their view of small ants! Remember it was a hot summer, I saw a big beetle under the tree was two small ants bite tightly, but the power is too great, two small ants to deal with the present "behemoths" is obviously "egg meets stone". In this case, one ant touched another ant with its tentacles and hurried away from the battlefield. The other ant knew and continued to fight the big beetle. What did the little ant do? Turns out, he went to get help. He came to a large stone not far from the big beetle, a group, a team of ants like disciplined soldiers, one by one with neat and powerful steps toward the "battlefield". At this time, "ant troops" suddenly like a tidal surge forward. The beetle was paralyzed by this onslaught. All of them fought bravely on the "battlefield", and none of them flinched or retreated. The ant soldiers finally won the battle. After the war, they buried their comrades who had died in battle and walked away with neat and firm steps. From the above incident, don't you see the truth of "unity is strength"? Don't you applaud the ant warrior for his fearlessness? They are a kind of what a noble quality of animals ah! They are my favorite animals. I love them, but I love their kind of indomitable spirit!

Before they left, they told us that we must not waste any more resources, or the end of the world will be near. I ask you, what do you think is more important, life or life?" Everyone was silent. Finally, everyone said in one voice, "Life." Later, people were thrifty, and low-carbon machines were soon used by people, and then afforestation, but because of bugs, rats...

We are very much the same in many aspects, such as hobbies, color, personality and so on, but I take advantage of height. Almost every day when we go to school, we will meet at the school gate. Every time we meet together, there will be endless words, just like how can not be separated from two pieces of sticky rice cake: as soon as the class is over, two people will go to the toilet side by side; Eat lunch, smiling happily to go together to the dish; After afternoon self-repair, two people began to frantically change stickers; After school, we ran as fast as we could to the back garden to see if the nameless seeds we had planted together had sprouted..."
