A group of swans (天鵝) flew down to a beach where a crow (烏鴉) was jumping around . The crow watched them with disdain (鄙視).

“You have no flying skills at all ! ” he said to the swans. “ All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air ? No , that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying compitition. I’ll show you what real flying is ! ”

One of the swans , a strong young male , took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.

Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up , and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him , making all kinds of comments (評價) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.

The swan pretended ( 假裝) not to notice , and said, “ Why do you keep touching the water , brother ? Is that another trick ?”

“ No ,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “ I’m in trouble because of my pride ! If you don’t help me , I’ll lose my life… “

The swan took pity on him , and took him on his shoulders (肩膀) and flew back to the beach.

Dear Ralph,

I am a student of Grade Nine. I consider myself a beautiful and friendly girl. Male students say I am easy to get along with, so they are always after me. They call me and send messages from time to time. But I am fed up with them. I just want to learn as much as I can in this golden time. The problem is that I do not know how to refuse or say "no" to them. After all, they are my friends. What should I do? Please give me some helpful suggestions.

Aries

Dear Aries,

Don' t answer any call or message. When you want to study, simply turn off your mobile phone. That way you won't be bothered. When boys call, they will get a power-off (關機) message. After you finish studying, turn the phone back on and reply to people who have sent messages while you were studying. Accept calls only if you feel ready for them. A good friend can understand if you miss his too many calls or text messages, limit the number of people to whom you give your phone number. If you're not sure how well you like someone, first leave just your dormitory (宿舍) phone. Then that person can't bother you all the time. You are right that you need friends, so you shouldn't completely escape from them. I believe you can deal with this problem well and be happy every day.

Ralph

Post: Who can help me?

Posted by a worried mother on 12 / 05/ 09

Can you help me? My son, Tony is a 14-year-old boy. He used to be a good student in his class. But recently he changes. He doesn’t put his heart in his lessons, he is often sleepy in class and sometimes he can’t hand in his homework on time. His teacher called me and asked why.

Several days ago, I followed him secretly when he walked out of the school. He went into a net bar directly. At home he still plays on the computer very late. And he is very angry with me when I talk about his behavior with him.

What should I do? How can I draw him back into his lessons?
