BE HAPPY WITH THAT YOU HAVE
Once a farmer lived a comfortable life with his family. His chickens laid many eggs which the farmer used to buy food and clothing for his family.
One day, he went to collect the eggs and discovered one of the chickens laid a gold egg. He shouted excitedly to his wife : " We're rich ! We're rich ! "
His wife ran to him and they both looked at the egg in amazement. The wife wanted more, so her husband decided to cut open all the chickens and find more gold eggs. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any gold eggs. When he finished, all the chickens were dead.
There were no more eggs of any kind for the foolish farmer and his greedy wife.

AT THE BEACH ( Ở bãi biển )
Many peole spend their vacation at beach resorts ( khu nghỉ mát; thành phố nhỏ cạnh biển dành cho những người đi nghỉ mát ), where they can spend most of their time on the beach. Some people enjoy swimming, others love sunbathing. If you like subathing ( tắm nắng ), you should us suntan lotion ( kem chống nắng, đồng nghĩa với suncream/sunblock ) to protect your skin ( bảo vệ da của bạn ). If you don't have any protection, you may get a sunbum ( da cháy nắng ) which is painful and can be dangerous.
Swimming can also be dangerous if there are rocks ( đá tảng ) under the water or if the sea is rough ( động ) with big waves ( đợt sóng lớn ).
