I frowned at myself in the dressing-room mirror.I was wearing white tights,a white leotard,and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair.I was one of 10 snowflakes in my dance school's Winter Wonderland show.
"Grandma,I really don't feel like being in the show," I said.Grandma Lani looked up from what she was sewing. "Why,mo'opuna?" Mo'opuna means "grandchild" in Hawaiian.Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawai'i. "You love to dance." I used to love to dance.Then Ms.Tuttle gave the part of the Snow Queen to Christine Abrams.Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that drifted out like a cloud every time she twirled.And she got to do a dance onstage all by herself.The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm.I sighed. "I don't like our dance.And no one would notice if I wasn't jye.ai.There are so many of us." "I would notice.So would your parents."
As Christine walked toward us,Grandma paused and smiled at her. "What a beautiful costume!" Christine glided away,her skirt waving behind her.I hung my head.Grandma took my hand. "What's bothering my Avery?" "And you won't be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes," I whispered.
Grandma was about to speak.Then something outside the window caught her eye.She grabbed my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside.It was snowing.Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something. "Grandma,have you ever seen snow before?" "No,mo'opuna.In Hawaii,it snows only on the very tops of mountains."
I had seen snow lots of times,but now I tried to see it differently.Like it was new.I saw snowflakes twisting through the air in different directions,sparkling and shining at us.So many snowflakes coming together to create something magical. "Aloha," Grandma whispered to the sky.Aloha can mean many things,including "love," "hello," and "good-bye." "I don't know when I'll see something like that again." "I do," I said.I took Grandma Lani's hand and pulled her back inside.
When the stage lights came up and the music started,I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes.I didn't care if Grandma Lani could see me.I was helping her see a snowstorm.

2.There was once a captain.jye.ai loved money so much that he cheated(欺騙)his sailors(水手)at the end of every voyage(遠航)and took their wages(工資).
On the last day of one voyage,the ship was in a small port.It was winter time,and these a was very cold,so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night,I will give him my ship.But if he comes out before the sun appears,I shall get his wages."

"But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor.
"A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."
The sailor came out of the water,and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages,but you can't cook a chicken."
"I can," answered the captain.
"If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years,but if you can't,you will give me your ship."
The captain agreed,took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?"
"There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore."
