“A Little Princess”
A Little Princess is a touching novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnett—a famous novelist and dramatist. It obviously contains lots of fancied plots, but the parts it talks about creating miracles, can really reach the bottom of my heart. The book can bring me into a world that is more than reality while reading it. The extraordinary story makes me ponder a lot and gives me a deep impression that every girl can be a princess.

In my opinion, it is impossible for every rich girl to act like a well-behaved princess, but Sara, the heroine of the novel, did it! She was an imaginative little girl who had such intelligent small face and such perfect manners. Sara was a very nice girl who had a gentle, appreciative ways of saying, such as “If you please” “Thank you” which was very charming. So, not only her teachers and classmates liked her, but also her servants liked her. There was a time when Sara became a poor and pitiful servant insulted by the snobbish headmaster of the school. In spite of this, she had never complained to anyone about the horrible suffering she had endured. Sara was confident, brave, optimistic and kind-hearted just like before and she had never given up her enthusiasm of life. No matter when, Sara acted like a princess, and on account of this, she had accomplished a great deal of miracles over and over again.

After reading this outstanding book, I was shocked by Sara, a little girl who suffered such unimaginable pain and tortures, but still had an opposite attitude towards life. What impresses me most is that Sara put on her act of being a princess when she wore thin bottom shoes, wading in the street of London. From my point of view, her spirit of being so strong-minded when she was in hard times is worth admiring.

Truly, every girl is a princess coming into common life. The “princess” I mean is not a princess living in the palace and being regarded as the apple of everyone’s eye. As the matter of fact, the “princess” is at heart. I am in the belief that every ordinary girl in the world can be a princess. The way for a girl to be a princess is quite simple. Just suppose! You can suppose yourself to be a princess, and go about your business confidently without caring how the others would treat you. If you want to have more resemblance to a princess, be more kind and try your best to help the people in need. The most important thing you are supposed to do is that to feel like a real princess at any occasion, particularly when you are involved with enormous melancholy. Do not feel the conditions you faced are extremely wretched and attempt to get rid of the feeling of hopelessness and uneasiness. The less you look like a princess, the more you need to feel like a princess at heart.

Every girl can be a princess if she can do all I mentioned, no matter she is rich, beautiful or not. To speak truthfully, I cannot do as well as Sara. However, I will exert myself on being a princess mentally.

Do not feel depressed any more, to be a well-thought-of princess like Sara. You can do it, because Every Girl Can Be A princess.

“One Thousand and One Nights”
This book is simply wonderful. The tales involved are tales of the Persian Gulf, of Bagdhad, Arabia, and tales that we as adults should revisit for some enjoyable light reading that will make us smile and wonder at the old folklore of the Arabian Peninsula. Sinbad the Sailor is in there, as is Aladdin in it's original form, and the story begins of a king who is so upset by his wife's unfaithfulness that he will now only accept virgins for one night and then have them killed. A smart virgin begins her night with the infamous king by telling him stories, and she so fascinates him and enthralls him with her tales that the tales turn into folklore for readers of the ages. I won't tell you what happens in the end to the virgin princess, but you will find humor, enchantment, wisdom and fantasy for those times when stress becomes a factor in your life. I highly recommend the tale of "The Historic Fart" as a both funny and inspiring tale of human nature. Please buy this book and remember to become a nine -12 year old again as you read with curiosity and wonder at the fabulous enchanting, lively stories. I was beginning to wish my children were a bit younger so I could read these to them. Any child would enjoy these stories, and any adult will find them simply relaxing and a reflection of medieval Islam.

After reading
This holiday, I read a book named “Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp”. It is a famous fairy tale written by an English auther named Judith Dean. It tells us a story about how a “good-for-nothing” becomes to a rich man by an enchanted lamp.
The story is like this: When Aladdin was a boy, he just want to play. He talked and laughed and played with his friends all day at the maket. By accident, he got the enchanted lamp from a magician named Abanazar. And used it to get food and money. Soon, Aladdin and his mother were rich.
Five years later, he married the Sultan’s daughter, Princess Badr-al-Budur. And built a very beautiful palace for her. They lived very happily. But soon, Abanazar came back and deceived the lamp from the princess. And snatched the palace and the princess. So Aladdin went to Morocco by the jinnee of the ring, rescued the princess and took the lamp away. Afterwards, Aladdin and his princess lived happily.
I think, Aladdin is really a bad boy. He is so lazy and did not do any work. His mother always says to him:“You are a lazy boy—a good-for-nothing!” Yes, Aladdin is really good-for-nothing. But he can do one thing,that is calling the jinnee. Ture,is a good thing. But in our real life, we don’t have a jinnee and we can’t do the things like Aladdin. Everybody has many wishes, but we can’t just want to find short cuts. We should believe ourselves. We should work hard by ourselves. If we just want to live off the labour of others, we will be good-for-nothing. We should realize our wishes by ourselves, not by others.
I think, everybody has a jinnee, it just lives in our hearts but we can’t see it. In fact, we are the jinnee in our life. We can let the dreams come ture. As long as we can try hard and work hard, we can discover success is not far from us. So believe ourselves, we’re the jinnee of ourselves.

"Romeo And Juliet" impressions of after-reading
In present's soap opera, we hear that“the child are frequently innocent” , but at the end of the story, child's destiny was the most pitiful. For family's benefit, Romeo and Juliet is pacing back and forth, when having no way out, they chosen the extrication. Likes urging them to make great strides forward to the death, the sentiment urged that was full they to abandon the family to arrive at the same place, the enmity has actually been doomed their destiny repulsing, behind the painful has too many unaided. Romeo and Juliet's story is not only a play, it certainly was also at that time the real life the portrayal, too many too many involuntary, innumerable had no alternative, this was love takes to the memory which the people remembered with eternal gratitude.

Love is the thing which the underage child guardian most abstained from, love is the thing which the youth men and women most want to have, love is the old prestige in old age when the partner feels grateful thing. It is playing many roles, it may be the tragedy direction may also be the comedy moving spirit; It may be the toxicant may also be the honey, nobody can trace passes it. Once jumps in love the trap is similar to the string arrow also cannot receive again, is only flies tenaciously toward own goal, does not pay attention to the distance, passes through the air very straightly, finally falls to the ground. After the landing, has two kind of possibilities: One kind arrived at the goal perfectly, another kind was because of certain reasons, has broken off the wing ......

Very obvious, Romeo and the Juliet's arrow of love is folded the smashing, the destroyer strength is formidable is similar to may break out the pine and cypress the thunder and lightning. Do not think that the firm love can be long-time, once it harms in third party's benefit, then this section of sentiments will certainly to receive the danger which is compelled to break up. No matter they to be whether innocent, no matter how they do revolt, this story's background has made the upholstery for theirs result. They are pitiful? Perhaps, because they have not been able to defend old, but is the young person prime of life dies young, perhaps is not, because they sought belonged to their other half finally.

A happy story's result, usually comes to an end by the comedy, the reader looked no doubt happily, may look at later several days to forget. If a story by tragedy ending, then it certainly will leave behind anything at heart in the reader, perhaps regretted that perhaps was a pity, will let the reader chew repeatedly, ponder. The human are the pursue are perfect. Meanwhile, the people also extol the incomplete beauty, this is as if very contradictory, but not as if is not contradictory.

"Romeo And Juliet" are the tragedy, is similar to, it which above me writes in me at heart has left behind anything, I also do not talk clearly, perhaps is the regret ....

"The Merchant of Venice"
Rarely has The Merchant of Venice, one of Shakespeare's most complex plays.In a decadent version of renaissance Venice, a young nobleman named Bassanio seeks to woo the lovely Portia , but lacks the money to travel to her estate. He seeks support from his friend, the merchant Antonio ; Antonio's fortune is tied up in sea ventures, so the merchant offers to borrow money from a Jewish moneylender, Shylock . But Shylock holds a grudge against Antonio, who has routinely treated the Jew with contempt, and demands that if the debt is not repaid in three months, the price will be a pound of Antonio's flesh.

The Merchant of Venice is famous as a "problem play"--the gritty matters of moneylending and anti-Semitism sit uncomfortably beside the fairy tale elements of Portia and Bassanio's romance, and some twists of the plot can seem arbitrary or even cruel. The strength of Radford's intelligent and passionate interpretation is that he and the excellent cast invest the play's opposing facets with full emotional weight, thus making every question the play raises acute and inescapable. Irons is particularly compelling; kindness and blind prejudice sit side by side in his breast, rendering the clashes in his character as vivid as those in the play itself.

Far into the high mountains, there was this small village. A poor farther and his wife lived in a rather shabby hut [破旧的小屋]. The live was difficult and harsh at times. While enduring the hardship, they often wished that one day, they could get rich somehow, frequently, they would pray to god to give them a fortune.

One day, god decided to give them a gift in order to change their life. The gift was a healthy but rather ordinarily looking hen. The couple was somewhat disappointed with this fowl [家禽], contemplating [计划，打算] the best way to cook it. The next morning, the farmer went to the cage to fetch the bird. To his great surprise that he found that the hen had laid a gold egg. They were overwhelmed by the sudden and unexpected found given to them by god and extremely grateful and happy about it. For the then, they built a nice and comfortable chicken coop [笼] and fed the bird with best feed that they could gather.

After selling many gold eggs, the couple became richer and richer. However, after a period of time, they became dissatisfied with only one gold egg a day. It would be wonderful only if the hen could lay two or three or even one hundred gold eggs a day, the farmer and his wife thought. Thinking that there must be thousands of gold inside the hen, the farmer one day, decided to find it out. He killed the hen and opened her belly [肚，腹，胃], in search of gold eggs.

Alas, he found that there was only one gold egg inside the hen.

2.The rabbit and the turtle had a race（龟兔赛跑）

In this beautiful forest, there were many tall trees, bearing various sweet fruits, such as dates and figs. Along the forest, on a splendid meadow, countless flowers were blooming everywhere. Daily, all kind of animal will gather in the meadow and having fun. They would sing and dance in different groups. They also played many games, including hide-and-seek.

On this sunny warm afternoon, the pesky monkey posted a note on a big tree trunk, announcing that there would be a foot race between the rabbit and the turtle. Animals were surprised, but nevertheless, one could still feel the excitement in the air. The crowd pushed around the starting line, arguing about that who could be the winner. The majority of the animals favored the rabbit, no doubt.

As usual, the light footed rabbit carried his nonchalant [不关心的] smile on his face arrived first and checked in with the judge, the honorable goat. Then slowly but surely, arrived the humble looking turtle. The goat told them that the race would start only after his staring gun and the participants should strictly obey the rules of the race. The handsome deer made a wreath and placed it at the end point. Whoever got there first and put on the garland would be declared the winner.

Bang! There went the starting gun. The rabbit leaped up in the air and took of like an arrow. The turtle was slow to start, and moving ahead on a steady pace. Not soon enough, the rabbit arrived at the mid point of the race. He stopped and looked back, but the turtle was nowhere to be found. He was very confident and relaxed. Under the nice warm sunlight, with a big yawn, he decided to take a nap.

After a nice dream, the rabbit woke up and rubbed his eyes and feeling totally refreshed. He looked around and could not see the turtle anywhere. However, he decided that it was time to get on with the race again. As he was approaching the end of the race route, he heard some cheering ahead. He was thinking that the crowd must be getting ready celebrate his victory. He made the last turn around the corner and started to look ahead for the finishing line. He was stunned by the scene that the turtle was at the end point, picking up the wreath. The big crowd was cheering jubilantly for the winner of the race, the turtle.

In a nice and tranquil village, there lived a handsome and smart cock. Next door, there lived a nice hound. They were good friends and often played together. On a nice spring day, the hound suggested that they two should take a trip to the forest to have some fun and could even meet some friends along the way. The cock was excited and agreed with the plan.
They wandered through the trees, immersed in the fresh air and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Near sunset, they decided to rest for the night. They found a tall tree with many branches and it was very suitable for the cock to sleep. At the bottom of the trunk, there was a nice burrow which could fit the hound to rest in, very comfortably.
Next morning, the first ray of sun light woke up the cock high on the tree. He started to sing:” cocka-do-da-do!” from the branch. The hound was still soundly asleep, while the singing by the cock attracted the attention of a hungry red fox. The fox quietly approached the tree and saw the beautiful cock sitting high up there.
Immediately, the fox started to speak to cock with some sweet words, hoping to lure the cock down from the tall tree. After all, it should be a delicious breakfast for the fox.
However, the cock looked through the fox’s trick and definitely would not come down from the tree. He thought to himself that if there should be a way to wake up his friend, the hound.
The cock said to the fox that he definitely would need a ladder in order from him to get down from the tree safely. In fact, there was a rope ladder hidden in the burrow at the bottom of the tree. If the fox could get it out and set it up, he would appreciate it very much.
The fox was more than happy to do that, thinking that a wonderful meal was essentially in his hand. He then quickly stuck his front paw into the burrow and felt around. He touched a rope-like material in there. He then got a hold of it and started to pull it out. Alas, it was the tail of the hound. When the hound was dragged out of the burrow and saw the fox was pulling him out, he jumped up and started to chase the fox.
The fox ran as fast he could and barely got away. At the mean time, the cock was looking down from his perch with a broad smile on his face.
