The Mighty Bronze Mirror

In ancient times, the Roman Empire was very powerful. One year, the Roman Empire launched an attack on the weak Syracuse.They approached Syracuse both by sea and by land, and the whole country of Syracuse was in peril.

At that time, according to the king's order, the command to defend Syracuse was assumed by the wise and wise Archimedes.

Seeing that the Roman fleet was getting closer, Archimedes stood on the castle and looked at the distant bay.Looking at the mighty enemy ships, he was worried.He gave serious consideration to the enemy and his own military power.He thought: We are too far behind the enemy in strength. If we really fight, we will sacrifice many compatriots.If only there was some good way to keep the enemy navy from landing.But our navy is too weak to resist.He let out a long sigh, the sun hurting his eyes.Suddenly, a good idea flashed into his mind. He thought for a while, and then he folded his hands towards the sun and shouted reverently: "O mighty sun! I hope your power can help me save the good Syra." Ancient people!"

Then he quickly ran down the castle, and decisively gave orders that all the women should take up their bronze mirrors and assemble by the sea.

"What time is it, what is he going to do?" Some soldiers muttered unwillingly to execute it.

When the women heard the news, they couldn't understand: "What is this for? Are we going to use us to resist the enemy?"

Archimedes said to everyone solemnly: "Everyone, act quickly, I have a clever plan to repel the enemy." Finally, all the women in the city gathered at the pier with mirrors.Archimedes said:

"Later, you listen to my order. I will ask you to lift up the mirror, and you will lift it up together. At that time, you must be quiet and listen to my command."

At this time, the enemy fleet was getting closer and closer. They saw many women in white robes gathering at the pier of the port, and they couldn't figure out what tricks Archimedes was playing.Later they thought that Archimedes must have no choice but to surrender, so they asked all the women in the city to welcome us.

Just as the Roman fleet approached the pier step by step, Archimedes gave an order, and all the women raised their mirrors high.The Romans felt bright beams of light suddenly shooting from the opposite side. These beams of light kept moving, and finally, hundreds of beams of light converged on one point.That point, strangely bright and scorching hot, fell on the ship's great sail and set it on fire.The fire continued to spread with the sea breeze, and immediately, the entire fleet was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.The panicked Roman soldiers jumped into the sea one by one with their bodies covered in fire, and the Roman fleet hurriedly sailed back, never daring to come here again.

The Syracuse women on the shore were all elated, hugged the mirror in their arms, and cheered loudly: "The Romans are repulsed, the Romans are repelled!"

Major Issues Order No. [-]

In the evening, the last shimmering clouds in the sky gradually dimmed.After supper, the major went for a walk in the park.Suddenly the major heard the soft, whimpering cry of a child.

The major walked over, and by the dim light, he saw a boy who was only eight or nine years old, wearing a military cap made of newspaper on his head, and holding a pistol made of newspaper in his hand, standing under a tree, alone. cry.

The major asked: "Little friend, why are you crying?"

The child said, "It's getting dark, and I'm scared here alone."

The major asked him why he didn't come home.The child said he had not been given an order to go home.The major was wondering, what order does an eight or nine-year-old child need to go home?The major asked the boy, but unexpectedly the boy wanted to keep his military secret.The major smiled, pointed to his military uniform, and said, "We are in the same army. You can tell me about it. It doesn't count as leaking military secrets."

The little boy said that they were "fighting" here in the afternoon, and the "chief" sent him to stand guard here and told him that no evacuation was allowed without an order. He replied, "I promise to complete the task."In this way, he has been standing until now, his stomach is already hungry, his body is cold, and it is dark, but the order to evacuate has not yet come.

The major understood that it must be a group of children playing games here. The paper hat on the little boy's head and the paper gun in his hand proved that he had played a role in the game.The other children must have gone home early, probably because the little boy stood in a remote place and was forgotten by everyone.

"Isn't it just a children's game?" said the major. "Others have already left, and you should go home quickly, lest the adults in your family look for you everywhere."

However, no matter how much the major persuaded him, the little boy would not leave.The little boy said: "I promise to complete the task, and if I promise, I must do it. I will never leave without an order to evacuate."

The boy's firm attitude made the major embarrassed. He couldn't persuade the boy to go home, and he couldn't leave the boy alone.

A major who can command a large army is stumped by a little boy.

The major looked at the little boy's attire and suddenly had an idea.

He asked seriously, "What rank are you in?"

"Private first class," said the little boy.

The major pointed to the epaulets on his shoulders and said, "I am a major. Now, comrade corporal, listen to my password."

The little boy had played war games many times, and when the major gave the order solemnly, he immediately stood at attention.

The major said: "Comrade Senior Soldier has successfully completed the task of standing guard. I order you to be laid off immediately."

The little boy replied loudly: "Yes!"

The major issued the second order: "I order Comrade Lieutenant to take me to your house."

The little boy answered loudly again: "Yes!"

As a result, the major sent the little boy home.

clown show

The circus show has begun.

The weird clown is here!The clown didn't need to speak at all to be funny.He pretended to be a pig for a while, a dancing rooster for a while, and a crocodile with its mouth open for a while. It was so funny that everyone around him laughed.

The clown suddenly noticed that in the crowd, a little girl with a red bow on her head was not smiling at all, and this amusing scene seemed to have nothing to do with her.The experienced clown thought: "I have been acting as a clown for so many years, is there any child who doesn't like my performance? I must make this child laugh." So he worked hard for the little girl sitting in the first row to perform.The Joker has never been so good.

But to no avail, the little girl was still not smiling.She stared at the clown with round and dull eyes, without even moving the corners of her mouth.She's so pretty, but she doesn't like to smile at all.

So the clown walked up to the little girl and asked politely, "Tell me, don't you like my performance?"

The little girl replied friendly: "No, I like it very much."

"Then," asked the Clown, "the other children are laughing, why aren't you laughing?"

"Because I can't see you, I'm blind," she replied.

"Oh." The clown was startled, and returned to the stage to continue performing.

When the show was over, the clown walked up to the little girl and said, "Listen, boy, I have a suggestion for you."

"Please speak."

"Very well, then. If it is convenient for your parents, I will come to your house tomorrow afternoon. I will perform for you, agree?"

The little girl nodded happily.

It snowed heavily that night, and it continued to fall the next day.But the clown arrived on time.

She held his hand and stammered excitedly: "It's... really... that's great. You're really here!"

"Of course, I promised," said the clown.

He took the little girl by the hand, put the little girl on the sofa in front of the Christmas tree, and knelt down in front of her. "Touch my face," he said, "and the neck, then the shoulders, then the arms and legs. That's the first step, you have to know exactly what I look like."

"You know what I look like?"

"Clearly."

"Well, let's begin!" said the Clown, "but please don't let your hands go away from me. You must keep touching me, so that you will know what I am doing."

After speaking, the old clown began to perform.He made his entire circus repertoire from scratch.The parents held each other's hands tightly and stood by the door watching.

"Now the bear is dancing," said the old clown.When he imitated the bear dance, the little girl's delicate little hand stroked him, but her face remained unchanged.

Even though it was the most difficult performance of his life, Joker didn't flinch at all.He started to learn from the crocodile again, and then from the pig.Gradually, the little girl's fingers slid from his face to his shoulders, and her breathing became rapid and her mouth opened.

As if the little girl saw with her little hands what other children saw with their eyes, she laughed intermittently when the clown pretended to be a pig, short and soft.

The aged clown performed with more confidence.The little girl started laughing.

"Now it's the Rabbit," said the Clown, and began to do his best tricks.The little girl laughed louder and louder, and she was breathless with joy.

She was panting from laughter, and her tiny fingers touched the face of the old man kneeling in front of her.Suddenly the little girl was taken aback, she found this great clown crying!

jennie the puppy
Christmas is coming, and the school is going to rehearse a short play called "Christmas Eve".As soon as the notice was posted, Jack's sister Jenny enthusiastically went to sign up to be an actress.On the day the role was decided, Jenny returned home sullenly.

It turns out that according to the plot, this short play only needs four characters: father, mother, daughter and son. —Jenny was assigned the role of just playing a humble puppy.

Jack thought that his competitive sister would quit, but to his surprise, Jenny participated in every rehearsal more actively. Jack couldn't help wondering: "What's there to rehearse with a dog?" I practiced very hard and bought a pair of knee pads.It is said that when she climbs on the stage, her knees will not hurt.Jenny also told everyone that her animal character is called "Dangerous."

On the day of the performance, Jack opened the program list and found his sister's name: Jenny...Dangerous (dog).Looking around secretly, the entire auditorium was full of audiences, including many acquaintances and friends, so he quickly shrank back into his chair.Having a younger sister who plays a dog is not a very honorable thing after all.Fortunately, the lights dimmed and the drama began.

The actor "Father" appeared first, and he sat down on the rocking chair in the middle.Then "Mother" came on stage, and she sat down facing the audience.Then there are the "daughters" and "sons," who kneel on the floor on either side of the father.The family was chatting, and Jenny, wearing a yellow, fluffy dog ​​prop, crawled into the arena on all fours.

But Jack realizes it's not just a simple crawl, and "Dangerous" (Jenny) hops up and down, wagging her head and running into the living room, where she stretches on the rug before settling down in front of the fireplace and falling asleep , a series of actions, lifelike.Many viewers also noticed, and there were gentle laughter from all around.

Next, the father in the play begins to tell Bible stories to the family.He just said: "On Christmas Eve, everything is quiet, even the mice..." "Danger" suddenly woke up from his sleep, looked around alertly, and looked exactly like a domestic dog.
