Wonderland is the hometown of minifishers. Because the winter there is cold, they go to

warmer places for the winter and go back home the next spring to have their babies. Every year.

hundreds of minifishers visit Starland. They stay there with their families for several months. They usually sleep during the daytime and wake up in the evening to look for food. Small fish are their favourite.

Minifishers were first found in Starland one hundred years ago. Now Starland has become their most important stopping place for the winter. But this could change soon because people in Starland are thinking of building factories near the minifishers' winter home. Minifishers are shy and do not easily change the way they live. It is likely for them to leave Starland and never come back again, If they are unable to find the food, they will easily die out.

Can we do something to help these friends from the sky? Though making money is important, people in Starland should know the lives of other animals are important, too. Man cannot live without animals. We are the equal members in the same nature. Let's work together to help them.

Song of the Parting Son (游子吟)

The thread in mother’s hand -

A gown for parting son,

Sewn stitch by stitch, alas!

For fear his return be delayed.

Such kindness of warm sun

Can’t be repaid by grass.

Song of the Parting Son may be the most popular Chinese poem about a mother’s love. It describes a common matter in daily life — a mother making clothes for her son. Nearly every mother has sewn (縫補) something for their child and many sons and daughters are familiar with this. For this reason, this short poem has touched many people’s hearts.

In the last two lines, the poet uses a pair of metaphors (比喻). Meng compares the mother to the warm sun and the child to grass. This shows how great a mother’s love can be and what little a child can do to repay his or her mother.

Poet Meng Jiao (751-814) lived in poverty (貧困) all his life. He didn’t become a low-level official until he was in his 50s. Only a few years later, he resigned (辭去) from his official post because of the death of his mother. Meng was famous as a kuyin poet (苦吟詩人).He took his poetry very seriously, spending a great deal of time considering each word.
