Long ago, there was a queen who lived in a palace. She felt bored and said to her advisor(顾问 ),

"AIl the things around me are too boring. I need a different kind of beauty. Let everyone know that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world. And the prize will be this crown (王冠)."

Several days later, lots of people came to the competition and showed their things. The queen was not satisfied with what she saw. The advisor suggested, "What you are looking for cannot be brought to you. You must look for it by yourself. What about a journey?"

The queen was interested in the idea, so she started immediately. As she was on top of the hill near her palace, she looked down and suddenly something cried in her heart. "Why have I never found my palace so beautiful?"

The queen spent one year travelling. She saw beauty on the farm, in the forest and even in the stars twinkling(闪烁)at night on her journey. But what was the most beautiful thing? She thought it over. Suddenly, she understood beauty was everywhere. She should learn to enjoy the world. She left the pieces of her crown at different places that she had seen. As time went by, the queen's crown got smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

She found the most beautiful thing at last. It was the world!

Dear Reader,

Imagine an 11-year-old child whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the fields.

Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can't fill her stomach with water because it's polluted ,and who has watched life slip away(消失) from her father, little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.

Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.

Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother ,now alone, needs her badly at home .Chances are Maria will grow up without any schooling .What will be her future? In many ways, it will be disastrous(灾难性的).

But for just 52pennies a day ,you can sponsor(资助) a child like Maria. Show her that somewhere, someone cares about her. Through “ Save the Children”, you can help Maria's mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and get the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.

To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital, bring in clean water .This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.

For you there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Knowing that you are reaching out to another person. Not with a handout, but a hand up. That's how “Save the Children” works. But without you, it can't work. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form below to help a child like Maria and her village.

James is a good student and he has lots of friends，but he also has a problem. Some older boys are bullying(欺负)him at school. James is very unhappy and he doesn't know what to do about it. Here are some suggestions to him and other teenagers in this situation.

Don't feel worried. It's not your fault(过错)! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry，but you are not alone. Don't feel that you have to hide the problem. You should find a person you can trust，and tell them. It might be your teacher，your parents，or even your friend's parents. After you tell someone，you will get some support and feel some relief(解脱).

Speaking to an adult might make you nervous，but here are other things you can do. Some people express their feelings more easily on paper. Write a letter to someone or keep a diary. Include all the details(细节)about what the bullies do, as well as when and where the bullying happens. You can use it as proof to show what is going on. And it is a wonderful idea to show your letter or diary to a teacher or another responsible adult. Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in a letter!
