Life in the future(将来) is different from now. There is not any paper money in the future. People use their credit cards when they go shopping. There are not so many shopping malls. At weekends, people needn't go out. They usually do some shopping at home on the Internet.

Children don't get up early to go to school. They have lessons at home on the Internet, too. Teachers teach their students and give them homework on the Internet. Children give the homework to their teachers on the Internet, too.

People don't need to do much work. There are more robots(机器人). Robots do hard work for people. Parents don't cook or wash clothes. A cooking robot cooks breakfast. In fact, robots do all the housework for us.

There are more holidays. Parents spend much time with their children. They spend a lot of time travelling around the world.

I think life in the future is very interesting. Do you think so?

Paca is a frog. Her life changes when she sees a singer's long hair on TV for the first time. She loves the long hair.

"Oh! I want something like that. Something that makes me special," Paca says to herself.

Paca doesn't know that frogs don't have hair. She thinks that maybe she could grow her own hair by singing. She begins to sing everywhere she goes. She goes to towns and cities, to the sea and mountains…until one day she sings in a barber shop（理发店）.

While Paca is singing, the hairdresser is cutting someone's hair. Some hair falls on Paca's head. After seeing her new hair, Paca thinks that her dream is going to come true.

In her excitement, she sings so loudly that she wakes up the hairdresser's cat.

The cat thinks Paca is a mouse and grabs her. But after touching Paca's cold and slipper（湿润）skin, the cat finds that Paca was not a mouse and lets her go. At that moment, Paca learns that she should just try to be herself.

In the sea there are many islands(岛). In its warm waters, there are some little ones. We call them "Coral(珊瑚)Island".

A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring(环状物)of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake in the island.

If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful corals. You may think they're flowers.

If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes lives a very small sea animal. These sea animals make the coral.

They begin to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grows higher and higher. At last it grows out of water.

Then the sea brings to it small trees and some other things. In some years, these things change into earth. Sometimes the wind brings seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds fly over it and bring seeds to the island. The little seeds grow. In a few years, there are plants all over the island. In a few more years there are trees growing there. So you see, these islands forms（形成） little by little. The workers are very small. Don't they teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?
