《The Ugly Duckling》
A duck is sitting on five eggs.
The eggs break and five baby ducks come out.
The mother duck looks at her babies.
She has four beautiful baby ducks. But one is different.
It is big and grey. Its legs are very long.
The mother duck doesn't like it.
"Go away!" she says to the different duck."You are not my baby."
The different duck says goodbye and goes away. It's sad.
Then it sees the mother pig with her baby pigs.
"Are you my mother ?" it asks.
"No, I'm not your mother." says the mother pig .
So the different duck goes away.
Soon it sees a fox.
"Am I your baby?" the duck asks.
"No, you are not my baby ." says the fox. "But I like you. I will make you a dinner."
The different duck runs away.
It is very sad.
It wants its mother.
Then it hears a voice.
"You are very beautiful. I am your mother."
Sunday（星期日）献给太阳的日子
古代希腊人崇拜太阳，将一星期的第一天献给太阳，称为 hemera heliou （太阳之日）。
古罗马人继承了古希腊人的这种传统，将星期日称为 dies solis 。
古代英国人依葫芦画瓢，将星期日称为Sunnandæg。
到了现代英语中演变成了 Sunday，也就是说，太阳之日。
Sunday：['sʌndeɪ] n. 星期日，星期天，礼拜日，礼拜天
