There once lived a beautiful white elephant in the forest, and everyone wanted to look at her. The news reached the king (国王). 

The king wished to have this elephant for himself, so he asked his men to find the elephant. After a year, the king’s men found where she lived, and took her to the king.

The king was very happy and he asked his men to train the elephant. But it was very difficult and those men often beat (打) her. One day, the elephant tried hard to run away and made her way into the forest. She ran for months, fearing (害怕) the king’s men might follow and find her. Luckily, the king’s men didn’t. 

However, the elephant couldn’t make the bad memory (记忆) go away. Every time the wind blew in the trees, she started to run. She didn’t stop until she became very tired.

One day, the wind blew again and she started to run as usual. After running in fear for many hours, the elephant stopped near an old tree. The tree could feel her great fear. He said to her, “The wind is not your enemy (敌人). Do not be afraid of the wind. Your fear is in your mind.”

The elephant knew what the tree was telling her right away and she never lived in fear again.

Tom didn’t like Sundays. He had to wear shoes and go to Sunday school. He had to do homework, and it was boring. Mary tried to help him, but it was difficult. He wanted to do his homework because then he would get a blue ticket. If you had ten blue tickets, you could get a red one. If you had ten red tickets, you could get a yellow one. If you had ten yellow tickets, you could get a new book.

Tom had lots of tickets. He wasn’t very good at doing his homework, but he was good at trading. He gave Bill a piece of candy and a fishhook. Bill gave him a yellow ticket. He gave other boys some of the things he had from letting others paint the fence and got more tickets. Some were blue, some were red, and some were yellow. Finally, he had enough to get a new book.

That Sunday, the new girl came to Sunday school for the first time. Her parents came too, and the children learned that her father was a very important judge. The girl’s name was Becky Thatcher.

Everybody was very surprised when Tom stood up. The Sunday school teacher was more surprised than anybody else. He counted the tickets. There were enough for a new book. He gave Tom the book, and Tom was allowed to sit with the important new people. Judge Thatcher said hello, but Tom could not speak. He was too nervous and thinking about Becky.

“What’s your name?” asked the judge.
