One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, "Look! There is a horseshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag." Thomas said, "It isn't worth the trouble." His father said nothing but picked it up himself.

When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with a few pennies he bought some cherries (樱桃). The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky. And there wasn't a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost some time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth. And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up.

When Thomas had eaten all the cherries, his father said to him, "My dear son, if you had bent (弯曲) down earlier to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries. Always remember the lesson that anyone who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things."

Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17, he travelled along the Silk Road with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. Finally, they arrived in Beijing. They were guests at the Emperor's Palace. Although Marco was young, he was very clever and could speak four languages. The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends. The Emperor asked Marco to help him and sent him to do many important jobs all over the country.

Marco was amazed by how great China was. He was impressed by the Emperor's Palace which he described as "The greatest palace that I've ever seen". The walls were covered with gold and silver and the hall was so large.

Marco was also attracted by lots of strange things in China. Marco was surprised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets. In Europe, people paid for goods with gold and silver. He could not understand how people paid for food and valuable things with paper! He was also puzzled by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat. The black stones were coal, but Marco had never seen coal before!

After he served the Emperor for 17 years, in 1291, Marco returned to Italy. He had a lot of money then. A writer wrote down all the stories that Marco told him in a book called The Description of the World, which became one of the best-selling books in Europe.

Dear Jenny,

    I heard from you yesterday. As you know, some of my schoolmates have suffered from chicken pox.

    Do you think these ways can help us prevent and control the illness effectively? I'm sure they can. So don't be worried. I'll be OK.

Yours,

Yang Yang
