A lion once fell in love with a beautiful girl, so he went to her parents and asked them to marry her to him.
The old parents did not know what to say.
They did not like the idea of giving their daughter to the lion, but they did not want to enrage the king of beasts.
At last the father said, "We are glad to marry our daughter to you, but we fear that you might possibly hurt her. So if you remove your claws and teeth, we will give her to you."
The lion loved the girl very much, so he trimmed his claws and took out his big teeth. When he came to the parents again, they simply laughed in his face, and beat him out of their house.

材料新颖，读者读起来才有兴趣。要想材料新颖，就要尽量及时地选取那些新鲜而有意义的事做为作文的材料。要想做到这一点，就要做个有心人，学会观察，学会思考。在我们的周围，每时每刻都有新的事情发生，要学会观察，善于捕捉。
例如：作文题目“一场”。这个题目从选材的角度看，比较广泛。但要做到新颖，就需要动脑筋。“偷考”、“考试失误”等写得太多、太俗。要选择那些能反映自己特点，反映自己真实感受的、别人未写的事情，这样才能吸引人。人们常说，人生就是一场考试。社会生活中有许多地方，是考察一个人道德水准、精神风貌、应变机智的考场。如果写作中能够在这方面作些思考，就会给入耳目一新的感觉。

A jackdaw, as vain and conceited as jackdaw could be, picked up the feathers which some peacocks had shed, stuck them amongst his own, and despising his old companions, introduced himself with the greatest assurance into a flock of those beautiful birds .They, instantly detecting the intruder, stripped him of his borrowed plumes, and falling upon him with their beaks sent him about his business .The unlucky jackdaw, sorely punished and deeply sorrowing, betook himself to his former companions, and would have flocked with them again as if nothing had happened .But they, recollecting what airs he had given himself, drummed him out of their society, while one of those whom he had so lately despised, read him this lecture ："Had you been contented with what nature made you, you would have escaped the chastisement of you r betters and also the contempt of you r equals。”

When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him. This soon wakened the lion. He was very angry, and caught the mouse in his paws.
"Forgive me, please." cried the little mouse. "I may be able to help you someday." The lion was tickled at these words.
He thought, "How could this little mouse help me?" However he lifted up his paws and let him go.
A few days later, the lion was caught in a trap.
The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so they tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.
Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion.
He went up to him, and soon gnawed away the ropes. "Was I not right?" asked the little mouse.
