"Little swallow," said the Prince, "please stay with me one more night. Far away across the city, I see a young man in a small room. He is leaning over a desk, a desk that is covered with papers. He is trying to finish writing a play, but he is too cold to write anymore. There is no fire in the room, and hunger has made him weak."

"I will stay with you one more night," said the swallow, who really had a good heart. "Shall I take him another jewel from your sword?"

"I have no more jewels in my sword, but I have jewels as eyes. Take one of them out and give it to him. He will sell it and buy food to eat and wood for his fire. He will then be able to finish his play."

"Dear Prince," said the swallow, "I cannot take out your eye." And he felt so sad that he began to cry.

"Little swallow," said the Prince, "do as I say."

The swallow took out one of the Prince's eyes and flew away to the writer's room. The young man had his head in his hands, so he did not hear the sound of the bird's wings. When he looked up, he found the beautiful jewel on his desk.

"At last someone likes my writing," he cried. "This is from him or her. Now I can eat, be warm, and finish my play." And he looked happy.

One day, the two brothers had a fight over a small misunderstanding (误解), which quickly turned into a bigger problem. They stopped working together and began using malicious words towards each other. After that, neither spoke to the other again.

After a week, someone knocked on Jamie's door. When he opened it, he found a man with a carpenter's (木匠的) toolbox. The man said, "I'm looking for some work. Do you have any small jobs I can help with?"

Jamie thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I have a job for you." He pointed to a wide ditch (沟渠) outside his farm and said, "My brother and I used to work together, but last week, he dug this ditch to separate our farms. I want you to build a tall fence (围栏) there, so I don't have to see my brother anymore."

The carpenter agreed. Jamie then left for the town to do some shopping. When he came back, instead of the fence he had asked the carpenter to build, he was surprised to see a beautiful bridge across the ditch.

Just as he was about to ask the carpenter what had happened, Jack walked across the bridge with tears (眼泪) in his eyes. "I'm so sorry, Jamie. After everything I've said, you still built this bridge to fix things between us," Jack said. "You're the best brother ever." He then gave Jamie a warm hug.

At that moment, the two brothers realized just how important they were to each other. The bridge was not just a way to cross the ditch—it was a symbol for them to rebuild relationship and understanding.

When we shop at a supermarket, we often buy more than we need. This may not be our fault—supermarkets control the way we shop. Every detail is planned. The walkways, music, lights, and advertisements all encourage us to spend more money.

From the moment we enter, the design of a supermarket controls the way we experience the store. Usually, there is one entrance and one exit (出口). Fruits, vegetables, and bread are near the entrance. Fresh vegetables and the smell of bread make the store appear fresh and attractive. This makes us feel good and want to buy more.

In addition, we often walk through the whole store to find what we need. Milk and eggs are usually at the back. Popular products are in the middle. Expensive ones are at eye level for easy reach, while cheaper goods are on lower shelves, requiring us to bend down. The payment area is usually at the exit. In this way, we see more food and spend more.

Supermarkets use other means to influence shopping, too. Slow music makes people shop more slowly and spend more. In a study, shoppers spent 38% more when slow music was played instead of fast music. Most stores also have no clocks or windows, so we lose track of time and stay longer.

So how can we avoid buying too much? First, make a shopping list and only buy what is on it. Second, shop less often—plan meals for several days and shop once or twice a week. Lastly, do not shop when you are hungry, because everything looks delicious then.

I once visited a kindergarten in Shanghai with some students. The school had a bilingual (双语的) program for children starting at the age of two. In many places, English (see) as important for future education.

We watched a group of two-year-olds during "circle time". They could answer simple questions in English about the days of the week and the months of the year, this surprised us a lot. At that age, many children in other countries are not expected (learn) written words so early.

Then we watched three-year-olds having lesson on Humpty Dumpty. They read the words and answered questions about the story. After that, the teacher gave them several eggs and asked them to drop the eggs from the same (high). All the eggs were wrapped except one, so the unwrapped egg broke when it hit the ground. The children laughed they saw the result.

We also saw older children in class. They spoke English quite (good) and followed the classroom rules carefully. Although playtime was also included in the daily schedule, some people might wonder such early learning would put too much pressure on young children. However, the classrooms were cheerful and the children seemed to enjoy. Watching these bilingual children made me think about children's education in a (difference) way.
