Page 1 Once there was a princess named Maya, so bright, With a heart full of kindness and eyes of delight. Each evening she’d gaze at the stars so high, Dreaming she’d join them and dance in the sky. Page 2 One magical night, a fairy appeared, With a sparkling wand and dress that cheered. She looked like Minnie Mouse!, so graceful and sweet, Her glow lit the room, what a magical treat! Page 3 “Dear Maya,” she said, “Your heart is so pure, And tonight is a night of magic for sure. Because you’re so good and you listen to Mommy and Daddy so well, I’ll grant you one wish; now, isn’t that swell?” Page 4 Maya’s wish was to dance with the stars, To twirl and to leap on the moon and Mars. “Close your eyes, my dear, and wish from your heart. Have faith in the magic, and soon it will start.” Page 5 With eyes tightly shut, Maya made her wish, A breeze filled the room, gentle and bright. She opened her eyes, and to her surprise, Two ballerina stars dancing before her eyes. Page 6 “Oh, Maya,” they said, “It’s a magical night, Your kind little heart has made this so right. We’ve come to dance and twirl with you, To make your dreams and wishes come true.” Page 7 The fairy waved her wand with care, And Maya’s dress became beyond compare. A ballerina’s gown, so lovely to see, Maya was ready, and happy as could be. Page 8 They danced and spun, so happy and free, Laughing and twirling, as bright as could be. Then, feeling tired, they sat down to rest, Above the stars, they felt so blessed. Page 9 The stars then said, “It’s time to go, The moon is high, with a gentle glow. We’ll brush our teeth, and have our snack, Then head to bed, and not look back.” Page 10 “But remember, dear Maya, we’ll always be near, Look to the sky, and we’ll appear. Dance by the window, we’ll twinkle and play, Forever with you, night after day.

I was born in this historically and culturally rich hometown of Lung Yeuk Tau, but I grew up abroad. Every time I return here, it feels like stepping into a world where time has reversed. Every brick and tile here tells a story of the past. The old walled village, situated on the mountainside, stands with its majestic blue brick walls, seemingly narrating tales of repelling pirates. The steps in front of the village gate are cleverly designed as a defensive position, making it difficult for enemies to attack. The small holes and high platforms on the walls were used to monitor outside movements, ensuring the villagers' safety. Such intelligent architectural designs leave me in awe of my ancestors' wisdom. Passing through the ancient gate, I see orderly houses with winding paths paved with blue stones. Not far away, the grand ancestral hall—Song Ling Tang Gong Hall—showcases our family's long history. The exquisite wood carvings and murals inside the hall reflect our family’s glory and traditions. Beside the ancestral hall stands the Tin Hau Temple, with its red walls and yellow tiles radiating a sacred atmosphere. The ancient bronze bell inside tells of countless pious wishes, as if feeling the divine protection. The surrounding statues of the Earth God and the Goddess of Heaven further immerse me in the rich local beliefs. When I step into other walled villages like Dong Ge and Wing Ning, I can still sense the vigor of their long history. Although many walls are now damaged, I can still imagine the tense scenes of repelling pirates. The altars and other structures make me feel the sincere hopes of my ancestors for wealth and success. As I stroll through this culturally rich land, I can almost feel the footsteps of my ancestors and the vitality of this home. No matter where I go, my roots will always be here—in Lung Yeuk Tau.

Ben wants a bug.

У невеликому містечку жив-був хлопчик Петрик. Він був дуже допитливим і мріяв одного дня заробити власні гроші. Одного разу, коли Петрик йшов зі школи, він побачив, як сусідка тітка Ганна несе важкі пакети з магазину. — Доброго дня, тітко Ганно! Можливо, вам допомогти? — запитав Петрик. — Було б чудово, дякую, хлопчику, — усміхнулася вона. Петрик допоміг донести пакети до її будинку, а тітка Ганна дала йому 20 гривень. Ідея для бізнесу Петрик вирішив, що в місті багато людей, яким потрібна допомога. Він розповів своїм друзям і запропонував разом допомагати сусідам: носити важкі пакунки, вигулювати собак, підмітати двори або навіть поливати квіти. Оголошення розклеїли біля магазинів і на дошках оголошень. Вже наступного дня їм зателефонувала бабуся Оксана, яка попросила допомогти винести старі речі з дому. Петрик і його друзі швидко виконали роботу, і бабуся дала їм 50 гривень. Як Петрик навчився розпоряджатися грошима Спочатку хлопці хотіли одразу витратити гроші на солодощі, але Петрик запропонував поділити зароблене: 1. Частину відкласти – на велику покупку, наприклад, велосипед. 2. Частину залишити на витрати – на морозиво чи іграшки. 3. Частину віддати на добру справу – допомогти тим, хто потребує. Розширення бізнесу Справи пішли добре, і згодом Петрик придумав нову ідею — розфарбовувати камінці яскравими малюнками та продавати їх як сувеніри Чого навчився Петрик? 🔹 Заробляти можна навіть у дитячому віці, якщо знайти корисну справу. 🔹 Гроші не падають з неба — треба працювати, щоб їх отримати. 🔹 Важливо не лише витрачати, а й заощаджувати та інвестувати у розвиток. 🔹 Робота має приносити радість і користь іншим людям. А яку ідею для заробітку придумав би ти?
