One day an elephant and a monkey had a quarrel(吵架).
"Look, how big and strong I am!" said the elephant. "I can pulla tree down, can you?"
"Look, how fast I can run and climb!" said the monkey. "Can you climb a tree?"
At last they went to a clever bird. They said, "Tell us which is better, to be strong or to be quick."
The bird said to them, "Do just as I tell you, and then I'll find out which is better. Do you see that great fruit tree across the river? Go and pick the fruit and bring it to me."
So the elephant and the monkey went to the river, but the water was quick. The monkey was frightened.
"Get on my back," said the elephant. "I'll carry you across. I'm big and strong. And I'm not afraid to swim across a quick river."
Soon they got to the other bank. There stood the tree. It was so tall that the fruit was high above them.
The elephant tried to break the tree down, but it was too strong. He tried to reach the fruit with his trunk(象鼻), but it was too high.
"Wait a minute," said the monkey. "I can climb up and get the fruit." He climbed quickly up the tree, picked the fruit and threw it to the ground. The elephant picked it up and held it in his long nose.
Then they crossed the river back and gave the fruit to the bird."Now," they said, "Which is better, to be strong or to be quick?"
"Can anyone say which is better?" asked the bird. "Neither of you could get the fruit alone. It took both the elephant's strength(力量)and the monkey's quickness(敏捷)to get it".

Handshaking
Handshaking, though a European practice, is now often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed open hands to each other as a sign of amity. As time went on and trade in cities grew prosperously, this practice was later somehow revised and gradually finalized into shaking hands.
Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No, sometimes the Chinese scholars abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite, especially when she is a woman. In fact some people in western countries stand even more on ceremony and are more reserved than some Chinese today.
Handshaking was first introduced into China after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of last century. Thanks to Dr. Sun Yat-sun, many unknown and unforeseen practices were imported from Europe, for example, to work on weekdays and to have a day off on Sundays, the brushing of teeth, and handshaking. In old China, when people met or parted, they bowed to each other and cupped their own hands one in the other, moving them up and down several times in front of the chest to pay obeisance. After almost a century the westernized way of greetings has not yet become very popular among the masses, while the age-old national practices have almost been forgotten.
