Long, long ago there lived an old man. He had a very big orange tree in his garden. On the tree there were many fine oranges.
One day the old man found one of the oranges was bigger than the others. It was as big as a watermelon. So he took the big orange to the king. The king was very happy and gave the old man a lot of money for it.
When a rich man heard of this, he said to himself, "It is only an orange. Why did the king give him so much money? If I take my gold cup to the king, he will give me much more money for it."
The next day when the king got the gold cup, he said to the rich man, “What a beautiful cup! I’ll give you something for it. Please take the great orange."

Jane,

     After I left Paris I spent two days in New York City and one day in Washington DC. I got to Miami, Florida on Nov. 13. The weather is wonderful here. This morning I went swimming and then slept on the beach. When I woke up, I found Jennifer Lopez—my favorite movie star!  She was just on my right!  I asked her to take a picture with me. You know, that was my dream. She agreed!  I'm going to show you the picture.

                                                                                    Yours,

John

Dear Dad,

     I got here after 18 hours on a train at last!  It's very cold here in Moscow. It's white everywhere. This afternoon I went to have a look at the city. I got lost. I was glad I took Russian lessons in my university. They helped me a lot. A young girl showed me the way back to my hotel. I think I can finish my work here and go back home soon. I'm longing for the warm sunshine at home. See you soon.

Dear Amy,

      I arrived in Guilin yesterday. What a beautiful place!  The people are kind here and I have some new friends. Guess who I met here!  Tom, my high school classmate. How small the world is!  He is working here as an English teacher at a middle school. He showed me around the city. I also went to his school. I bought a special bag made in Guilin for you and a silk tablecloth for Mom. Tomorrow evening I'm going to fly to Beijing.

                                                            Love,

Mafia
