A
Long long ago, there lived two brothers in a village. Their parents died and left them a farm. The elder son took everything except for a very small piece of land, a cat and a dog. The younger son had to use the cat and the dog to pull his plough(犁) because he did not have an ox(牛). They did not like this at all and cried out.
Near the farm, there was a mountain called Stone Mountain. A demon(魔鬼) lived on this mountain and people who looked at it carefully could see his face. When the Demon of Stone Mountain heard the cat and the dog crying out, he looked down. He thought a cat and a dog looked funny pulling a plough. He opened his mouth and laughed.
The younger son heard the demon’s laughter(笑声). He looked up and saw inside the demon’s huge, open mouth, it was full of gold and silver. Quickly, he ran up the mountain and hurried inside the demon’s mouth. There, he collected a little of the gold and silver and then hurried out again. Now he could buy himself a house, a larger piece of land and an ox to pull his plough.
His brother soon found out what had happened. He immediately got the cat and the dog and used them to pull his plough near Stone Mountain. Once again, the demon opened his
mouth to laugh at the sight of a cat and a dog pulling a plough. Quickly, the elder brother ran into the demon’s mouth and began filling his bags with gold and silver.
He was so busy that he forgot about the cat and the dog, and it was not long before the two animals lay down to rest. As soon as this happened, the Demon of Stone Mountain stopped laughing and closed his mouth. The elder brother was kept inside and was never seen again.

Question: When is a fish not really a fish?
Answer: When it’s a jellyfish(水母).
A jellyfish, or jelly, is a soft creature that swims slowly through water. They don’t have bones(骨头), brains, eyes, ears, and hearts like true fish.
However, jellyfish do well without these body parts. They live in every ocean in the world. There are hundreds of kinds of jellies. The number of jellyfish keeps increasing.
Jellyfish also need oxygen to live. Their skin is so thin that oxygen can pass through it and enter their bodies. If you ever see a jellyfish, look at it carefully. You can even see its stomach through the skin.
All animals must protect themselves against danger. And when a jellyfish touches an animal or person, it gives off poison(毒液). If you go swimming in the ocean, watch out for jellyfish. Get out of the water if you see them. If you see a jellyfish on the sand, don’t pick it up.
Sometimes, hundreds of jellies appear at once. These large groups are called “swarms” or
