Which animal do you think is "the king of the animals", theelephant, the lion or the tiger? They are all large and strong. But I think the tiger is "the king of the animals". If you watch carefully , you can find some black lines on the tiger's forehead(前额). The lines look like the Chinese word "WANG". The word means "the king of the world" in Chinese.

Most of the tigers come from China and India. Tigers are dangerous animals. They look scary(吓人的). They like eating meat. They have yellow fur with black lines. They usually weigh about 200 to 300kg. Tigers can run fast. They run at a speed of 20 meters per second.

Jackie visited his grandparents on their farm. And he was playing with a slingshot(弹弓)in the woods. He practised in the woods but he could never hit the target. As he was walking back, he saw Grandma’s pet duck. Without thinking, he shot, hit the duck in the head, and killed it. He was very afraid. He knew Grandma loved the duck. She would be sad or even angry if she knew that her duck was killed. He then hid the dead duck under a tree. His sister Susan saw it all, but she said nothing.

After lunch that day Grandma said, “Susan, let’s wash the dishes.” But Susan said, “Grandma, Jackie told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today, didn’t you, Jackie?” And then she whispered(小声说)to him, “Remember the duck?” S o Jackie did the dishes.

Later Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, "I’m sorry but I need Susan to help clean the house." But Susan smiled and said, "Well, that’s all right because Jackie told me he wanted to help." and she whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Susan went fishing with Grandpa and Jackie stayed.

These "remember the duck" went on for many days. Then finally Jackie couldn’t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and told her that he had killed the duck. She gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I forgave you. But I just wanted to see how long you would let Susan make a slave (奴隶) of you. "
