Journey to the West, or Xi You Ji, is a very famous Chinese TV series. It's about the great trip of Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. The series is based on a book of the same name written by Wu Cheng'en in the Ming Dynasty.
The TV series was the first of its kind in China. The production team (制作团队) spent about six years, from 1982 to 1988, making it. The production team met many problems. At that time, they only had very simple tools (工具). However, they tried their best to make the TV series well. For example, they spent two months visiting over 60 places across China to find the best places for different stories. They needed the wire (威亚) to help characters "fly", but no one knew how to do it. They flew to Hong Kong, China to learn the skill.
Through the production team's hard work, the TV series finally aired in China. It quickly became very popular and about nine out of ten people watched it. It was repeated more than 3,000 times. Now, it's still popular with Chinese people. When people talk about the summer vacation, lots of them think of the TV series. People in other countries also love it.
Tom was a shopkeeper. He had a small corner shop. It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night and sold many different things. Tom worked hard in his shop but he had a good business and he was happy.
Then a supermarket opened across the street. The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom's shop.
The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom. He found out what Tom's prices were and then made his lower than Tom's.
People quickly stopped buying things from Tom's shop. They bought everything from the supermarket instead. Soon Tom's business was very bad and he was angry.
"It's not fair," Tom thought, "I must do something to teach that supermarket manager lesson."
The price of steak in the supermarket was $5.00 a pound. Tom put a sign in his window, Steak-$ 4.50 a pound.
The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was S 4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his window. "Steak-$4.00 a pound."
An hour later, the sign in the supermarket said, "Steak-$ 3.75 a pound." Ten minutes later the sign in Tom's window said, "Steak-$ 3.50 a pound." Five minutes later the sign in the supermarket said, "Steak-$2.50 a pound." Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom s window said, "Steak-$1.00 a pound."
The manager of the supermarket ran across the road into Tom's shop. "This price cutting must stop," he said, "Steak is costing me $4. 00 a pound. I'm selling it at $2.50 a pound. I'm losing money every minute!"
"I'll stop cutting all my prices," Tom said, "if you stop cutting all yours".
The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook hands.
Tom smiled. He had not lost any money on the steak. He didn't sell steak at all.

A rich man loved his son very much. As he wanted his son to lead a happy life, he sent him to see a wise old man for his advice on happiness.
When the old man learnt about his purpose, he handed the boy an empty bowl and said, "Go to the river miles away and fill it with water. I will tell you about it if no water is spilt （洒） when you reach here."
Although the boy was very surprised at this, he had no choice but to carry out this task.
The boy set off on foot for the river and some time later, he came back with a bowl of water. The old man asked him, "Did you notice the beautiful flowers along the road and the birds singing in the trees?" The boy could say nothing about them because he gave his full attention to the bowl in his hands.
The old man smiled and said, "Bring me another bowl of water, but this time enjoy the flowers and the singing of birds as well."
When he returned, the boy was able to describe everything he had seen to the old man. But when he looked down at his bowl, he found sadly that most water was gone. He forgot all about his bowl while enjoying the beautiful things along the road.
"Well, young man," the old man said, "Enjoy the beauty of the world, but never forget the water in your bowl. This is the secret of happiness."
