Many years ago, in a small village, an old man was hired(雇用) to clear the spring(泉水) up on the mountain. He took care of the spring every day, and away all the leaves and other things would make the water dirty. Soon, beautiful swans came to the clear spring, and the village became a popular attraction for visitors.
Years passed. One evening, the town leaders held a meeting. As they looked at the salary, one of them said, “Why do we keep this old man year after year? I don't think we need him or his work. ” Later, the old man was to leave.
Several weeks later, something changed. When early came, leaves began to fall from trees, and the spring was covered with the leaves. A few days later, the water was much dirtier. Only a few months the man left, all the swans left too. And didn't come, either.

So, my friends, do you see? No matter how small your work seems to be, look down upon it. Anything that we do will make a difference.

Yushu, Qinghai Province, is one of the habitats for black-necked cranes. These cranes have very long necks and their necks are black. That's why they are called black-necked cranes. They travel very far every year. They spend about 7 months in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(高原).
Starting in March, black-necked cranes will fly back to the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. There are lakes and marshes(沼泽), perfect for them to live in. Year after year, black-necked cranes may fly to other places, but they always come back to the plateau area.
