The women in the Watson family all- like ballet. These days, Alice Watson gives ballet lessons, but for many years, she was a dancer at the National Ballet Company. Her mother, Hannah, also had a full-time-job there, making clothes for the dancers.

 Alice's daughter Demi started learning ballet shortly after she could walk. "I never taught her," says Alice," because she never let me. "Now at the age of 16, Demi dances at the National Ballet Company.

"It was very exciting for all of us," says Hannah. "Demi's way of dancing is very like Alice's. I know I'm her grandmother, "but I think she has a great future!"

Once there was a young man in a town. He liked puppets(木偶)very much and he became an apprentice(学徒) to a great puppet maker. However, the young man wasn't smart, and many people around him said he had no talent for making puppets.

However, he enjoyed it so much that he worked hard to improve his skills. Though he was hard-working, people would always find something wrong with his puppets. The young man didn't give up. After thinking for a few days.' he decided to spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. As long as he found a fault in his puppet, he'd throw it away and start again. As years passed, he was much better at making puppets than any other apprentice.

Finally, after so many years of work, he finished his puppet. And for the first time in all those years, he didn't throw away his puppet and he felt so happy. He became successful.
