How do you know about the weather this week? Is it rainy, cloudy, windy or sunny? Do you know it by listening to the radio, by using the Internet or by watching TV? We can know it by watching some animals, too. They can know changes in the weather easily and do something to prepare (准备) for bad weather.
It is easy for bees (蜜蜂) to know the changes in the weather in a short time because they can "talk" to others by dancing and a lot of bees can live very well with each other. But do you know why bees don't go out on rainy days? It's because they may get hurt (受伤) in the rain. So now you may know this saying well, "If bees fly away, the day will be fine."
We can also know the upcoming rain by watching other animals. It's really interesting, isn't it? Learn more and know more from now on.
Look around. Do you see your friends? Friends are people you like to be with. Your school playground is a good place to make friends. Ask someone new to play! If a child asks you to play, say "yes".
▲. Anna tells Alex a funny joke. Then Alex does a funny dance. That's what friends do. Friends help each other. Amy helps Jake with schoolwork. Jake helps Amy get the book in the bookcase. That is what friends do.
Sometimes a friend may feel sad. When Ben is sad, Lily makes him feel better. That's what friends do. Sometimes friends may get angry with each other. When that happens, they can talk about how they feel. Later, they can say, "I'm sorry." That's what friends do.
Sometimes friends also fight with each other. But it doesn't matter. They must learn to understand each other, or the friendship won't be long. Understanding is the most important in friendship. Everyone has the right to choose friends. Some maybe our friends, and they may make friends with those we dislike. We shouldn't be sad when our friends do that.
