A chinese vase
When I was a child I often went to see my grandmother. I thought her house was as beautiful as a palace and the garden seemed bigger than a park. As I grew older the house and the garden seemed smaller but I still loved visiting the old lady. There were so many beautiful things in the house.
Sometimes I played with the doll’s house which was older than grandmother herself; at other times I looked at books which were more interesting than my children’s books at home. I loved her pictures and the old clock, but most of all I loved a big Chinese vase which stood in the hall. It was taller than I, and I couldn’t see inside it. I walked round and round it looking at the beautiful ladies, and the birds and flowers and trees, and grandmother often told me stories about these ladies. After I was married I took my two sons to visit their great grandmother. They didn’t like the beautiful books and the vase as I did. They preferred playing football in the garden.
Before she died, grandmother gave me the vase I loved so much. It looked beautiful in our modern hall. One day I came home from the shops. My sons met me at the door. They looked guilty. Paul had a ball in his hands. “I am as good as George Best, Mummy”, he said. “I got a goal and I broke the vase.”
Philip tried to be more diplomatic than Paul. “It doesn’t really matter, does it? You told us it wasn’t new.”

The king who wanted to be an artist
There was a king who thought that he could paint very well. His pictures were bad, but the people to whom he showed them were afraid of the king. They all said that they liked his pictures very much.
One day the king showed his pictures to a great painter who lived in his country and asked: “I want to know what you think of my pictures. Do you like them? Am I a good painter or not?”
The painter looked at the king's pictures and said: “My king. I think that your pictures are bad, and that you will never be a good painter.”
The king got very angry and sent the painter to prison.
After two years the king wanted to see the painter again. “I was angry with you,” he said, “because you did not like my pictures. Now forget all about it. You are a free man again and I am your friend.”
