The Fox and the Tiger

　Once a fox met a tiger（虎）. The tiger opened his mouth, full of sharp（锋利的）long teeth, and said to the fox.

　“Why are you walking in my forest? What are you doing here? I shall have you for my breakfast.”

　But the fox answered:“My dear sir, you must not think that you are the king of the animals. Of course, you are very strong and your teeth are very sharp. But you are not so brave as I am. Let us walk together and see whom the people are afraid of. I shall go in front of you and you will keep behind me. The people will see me and run away because they are afraid of me. If what I say is not true, you can eat me.”

　The tiger agreed and so the fox and the tiger walked together to the nearest village. The fox walked in front of the tiger.

　When the people saw the tiger who was going behind the fox they ran away, because they were afraid of the tiger.

　Then the fox said, “I was in front of you and you kept behind me. The people saw me but they did not see you. They ran away because they were afraid of me. I am the king of the animals. I shall have you for my breakfast.”

　The tiger looked at the fox and ran away.

What is the sky？ Where is it？ How bright is it？ What lies above it？ These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they？

　　Is the sky blue？ The sky has no color. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there.

　　When we talk about the sky, we usually mean the atmosphere around the earth. It is like a very thick “cover” over the earth and keeps it warm. Without the “cover”, the earth would be a very cold place and nothing could live on it.

　　Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue, but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains. And you will see fewer clouds between you and the sun.

　　And if you sit in a spaceship high above the earth, there is no air at all. The sky would be so dark that its color would be black.

　　Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. These are the most beautiful moments of the day.

　　Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light and no colors.
