　　Trees are useful to men in three important ways：They provide them with wood and other products(產(chǎn)品), they give them shade(樹蔭), and they help to prevent drought and floods．

　　Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, men have not realized(功能)is the most important．In their eagerness(渴望)to make money from trees, some people have cut trees down in large numbers, only to find that without them they have lost the best friends they had．And besides(此外), they are usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, SO the forests slowly disappear．

　　This doesn't only mean that men will have fewer trees．The results are even more serious：where there are trees, their roots(根)break up soil－allowing the rain to sink in and also bind(固定)the soil, thus(因而)preventing it from being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the rain fails and carrying away the rich top－soil．When all the top－soil is gone, nothing remains(剩下)but worthless desert．

　　Yellow，orange，red and green梩ree leaves make autumn a colourful time!Who paints all these colours?It is the leaves themselves.Inside a leaf，there are millions of little colour

'bags'.They ale green，yellow and orange.The green ones are called chlorophyll (葉綠素).The yellow ones are called xanthophylls(葉黃素).The orange ones are carotene(胡蘿卜素).

　　In the summer，the green chlorophyll is very，very busy.It makes food for the tree.It catches sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into sugar.This sugar is the food for the tree.It is so busy that it covers up all of the other colours in the leaf.

　　When the weather grows colder in autumn,there is less light and water for trees.The trees will have a rest and get ready for winter.They've made enough food in summer.The leaves no longer need water to make food.

　　Without the water,the green chlorophyll starts to go away.The other colours in the leaf梩he yellow xanthophylls and the orange carotene come out.So，the leaves don't really turn a certain colour梩hey just lose their green!

　　But how about the red，purple and green leaves?The leaves look red or purple because they have some sugar in them.They steal some food from the tree!The green leaves are from the evergreen trees(常青樹).The evergreen trees stay green all year long.Their leaves don't lose water in winter.

　　Long, long ago the Mouse King had a beautiful daughter. When she was old enough to be married, he called together the oldest and cleverest mice to talk about it.

　　“My daughter,” He said, “is far too beautiful to marry just anybody. I have decided to marry her to the greatest thing in the world. Now, who shall it be?”

　　“The sun,” the first mouse said at once, “is the greatest thing in the world. It shines over the whole world.”

　　“Well, then, I shall marry her to the sun,” said the Mouse King.

　　“But,” said the second, “a cloud can cover the sun.”

　　“Then, she must be married to the cloud.”

　　“But,” said the third, “the rain breaks through the clouds and puts an end to them.”

　　“That is true. I must marry her to the rain.”

　　“But,” cried the fourth, “no matter how hard the rain falls, it cannot wash away the trees.”
