     A Story About Confucius (孔子) One day Confucius, with his disciples (门徒), went to the Jin State to
give lectures. When passing by a city, they were stopped by a seven-year-old boy. "Better make a detour
(绕道走) by passing round the city," said the boy.
     "Young boy, let us pass," Confucius got off his carriage and said. "I'm going to the Jin State to give
lectures. Let us pass by, please!" begged Confucius. "You're going to give lectures? A teacher should be
rich in knowledge. What do you know?" "I know a little about astronomy (天文) and geography," answered
Confucius, with one hand stroking his beard (捋胡子).
     "Really?" the boy laughed." Do you know the number of hair that makes up your beard?" "I can't see my
own beard. How can I count it?"
     "Then the stars in the sky can be seen. Do you know how many stars there are in the sky?" added the
boy. "There are innumerable (无数的) stars in the sky that I can't count them," said Confucius in
embarrassment (窘迫地). "But there is only one sun in the sky. Do you know how far it is from us?"
Confucius could say nothing.
     "My wisdom and learning are so little. I really don't know the things you asked. I'm willing to take you
as my teacher." With these words, Confucius bowed to the boy. 
     From then on, Confucius often told his disciples, "Among any three people, there must be one who can
be my teacher."

     Sometimes when the sun goes down, we can see another light in the sky. It's smaller than the sun,
and not so bright. It is the moon. We can also see many little stars. They're very bright at night.
     You can't count the stars. There're too many of them. They're too far away. That's why they look
so small . Every star is like our sun. It has its own light.
     The moon has no light of its own. The sun makes it bright. Then it can shine.
      Do you know that the moon changes its shape ? Watch it for a few nights. It may look round. It's
the full moon. Then it may look smaller and smaller night after night. Soon it will be a half-moon. At last,
it will be only a curve (弯月) . After this comes the new moon. It will grow bigger until it's full again.
