The Story of Tea


　　About two thousand years ago, there was a prince in India. He lived in a beautiful palace but he was not happy One day he left his palace. He went to different places in his country. Then he became a teacher. He told people to be kind to each other and to animals, not to be greedy and not to kill. Many people listened
to his words. People called him Buddha. He died when he was 80 years old.
　　Many, many years later, there was a very good man. His name was Bhodi-Dharma. He studied Buddhism - the words of Buddha. One day he left his home and his family, and he became a Buddhist monk.
　　Monks did not want beautiful homes, nice clothes or money. When they were hungry, they went to people's houses with their empty bowls, and people gave them food. They did not usually wear any shoes, and they wore the same clothes in the summer and in the winter. Sometimes they slept outside, on the ground. Sometimes people let them sleep in their homes. They moved from place to place and told people about Buddha.
Bhodi-Dharma walked all over India and China, and told people
about Buddhism. Everybody loved him and listened to him. The animals loved him, too. The tigers, crocodiles, snakes and leopards were quiet and gentle when they saw Bhodi- Dharma. They did not fight, or make a noise; and they never tried to hurt Bhodi-Dharma.
He was their friend.
　　Bhodi-Dharma studied Buddha's words while he was going from place to place to teach people about Buddhism. He learned many things. He learned to forget about his body. He stopped feeling hungry, and he was never thirsty. He was never too cold, too hot
or too tired. He was never angry, sad or afraid. 'I don't need much
food or drink, and I don't need to sleep,' he told himself. 'I only need to study the words of Buddha.' Bhodi-Dharma was very happy!

Puzzles
1. Read the sentences. Are they true or false?
a) Buddha was a prince.
b) Monks live in beautiful houses.
c) Bhodi-Dharma needed a lot of food.
d) Bhodi-Dharma told people the words of Buddha.


2. What are these people saying? Write the right letters in
the boxes.
a) 'I'm hungry. I need some food.'
b) 'I'm thirsty. I need a drink.'

c) 'I'm cold. I need some warm clothes.'
d) 'I'm sick. I need a doctor.'
e) 'I don't need much food or drink.'


　　After many years, Bhodi-Dharma became old. 'I want to be a good monk, but I'm too old,' he thought. 'When I was young, I used
to study and pray all night and teach all day. I did not need much sleep. I used to walk for many hours a day but now I feel tired easily. Sometimes I fall asleep before I pray to Buddha. I try and try, but I just can't keep my eyes open. My eyelids close, and I fall asleep.'
　　One day Bhodi-Dharma woke up very.late. 'I wanted to get up early,' he said to himself. 'Now it's already afternoon' and I haven't done anything. I haven't prayed to Buddha. I haven't had
my morning bath. This evening I will be tired again. What can I
do?'
　　That evening Bhodi-Dharma was very tired, and his eyelids started to close. He opened his eyes again quickly, but in a few seconds his eyelids closed again. He could not keep his eyes open.
He was too sleepy!
　　Bhodi-Dharma was never angry with other people; but now he was angry with his eyelids. He picked up some scissors and he cut off both his eyelids! He threw them on the ground. 'Now,' he said, 'I can't fall asleep any more! My eyes will always be open!'
Buddha saw this. He was very happy because Bhodi-Dharma wanted
to study his words so much. Buddha said to himself, 'Let me help him!'
When Bhodi-Dharma's eyelids touched the ground, a beautiful
little plant began to grow from the ground. It was a bush. It had pretty dark green leaves and small white flowers. It smelt very nice.
'I've seen many plants,' said Bhodi-Dharma to himself, 'but
I've never seen a plant like this. It's so pretty, and it smells so good. What is it?'

　　2. Bhodi-Dharma saw a plant. What was it? Guess and tick the box.
a) An apple tree. b) A tea plant.
c) A plum tree.

　　Then Bhodi-Dharma heard Buddha's voice. 'Bhodi-Dharma, you're a very good man. I"m very happy. Soon you will leave this world, and you will live with me in my beautiful home above the sky. But now this plant will help you. It's called tea."
'It's a beautiful plant, but how can it help me?' asked
Bhodi-Dharma. 'I'm too old. I feel tired and sleepy all the time.
I can't stay awake to study your words.'
　　'This plant will keep you awake!' said Buddha. 'If you feel tired or sleepy, pick a few leaves from this plant and chew them. Soon you won't feel sleepy. You will feel young and strong again. And you can then stay awake to study my words.'
　　Bhodi-Dharma listened to Buddha. Then he picked a few leaves and put them in his mouth. He chewed them slowly. The leaves did not taste very nice, but they made him feel young, strong and awake.
He took out his books and started to read. He studied for many hours, but he did not feel tired or sleepy. 'I must share this tea plant with everybody,' he said to himself.
Bhodi-Dharma started to collect the seeds from the tea plant,
and he planted them in many different places. The plants grew well
in good, wet ground. They did not grow in dry places. After a few years, there were tea plants all over India and China. People picked the leaves and chewed them; and they remembered Bhodi-Dharma.
One morning, the Emperor of China was feeling tired and sleepy
He had a lot of work to do but he could not keep his eyes open.
'Perhaps I'm sick,' he said to his servant. 'Get my doctor!'
When the doctor arrived, the Emperor said, 'I have many things
to do today, but I can't keep my eyes open. Can you help me?' The doctor opened his bag and took out a small box. There were
some dry, dark leaves inside the box. 'Great Emperor, would you
like to chew some of these leaves? They will help you. They are called tea-leaves,' said the doctor. The doctor gave the Emperor
a few leaves.

Puzzles
　　What will happen next? Read the questions. Think about them. Tick your answers.

Please may I have some more?'
b) What will happen next?

The doctor will go to another country and sell his leaves to lots of people,
and become a very rich man.
The Emperor will cut off the doctor's head.
The Emperor will put some tea-leaves into some hot water and drink
the water.


　　The Emperor looked at the tea-leaves, then he put them in his mouth and chewed them. 'They don't taste very nice,' said the Emperor.
'But they will help you to stay awake, Great Emperor,' said
the doctor.
　　'I'rii the Emperor. If something doesn't taste nice, I don't chew it!' shouted the Emperor. 'If you don't take your leaves away, I'll cut off your head!'
While the doctor was leaving, two servants came into the room.
They were carrying the Emperor's bath. It was full of hot water.
A few tea-leaves fell into the hot water.
　　'That smells wonderful! Perhaps I can drink the tea-leaves,' the Emperor said to the doctor. 'Bring me a cup of hot water," the Emperor shouted to his servant.
When the servant brought a cup of hot water, the Emperor put
a few tea-leaves in the water. It became a beautiful gold colour and it smelt very nice. The Emperor tasted the water. There was
a big smile on his face. 'This tastes wonderful!' he shouted. Then he drank all the water.
　　A few minutes later, he stopped feeling sleepy. He was awake, and he felt young and strong again.
　　'You're a very clever doctor,' he said. 'I won't cut off your head today.' Then he said to his servant, 'Bring me a cup of this wonderful tea every morning!'

Tea


　　People grow tea plants on large pieces of land called plantations. The plants need a lot of rain and they do not like too much sun. The plants grow more slowly on high ground, but the tea tastes better.
　　People grow different tea plants in different countries. Different tea plants have different tastes. India, China and Sri Lanka are the most -famous tea- growing countries. Darjeeling is
in India. It is at the bottom of the Himalayan mountains. Many people say, 'Tea from Darjeeling is the best tea in the world.' There are different types of tea. One of the most popular
ones is black tea. It is dark in colour and it is strong. Most people in Europe like black tea. Many of them drink it with milk and sugar. Some people also like lemon in their tea.
　　Green tea is also very popular. It is brownish-green in colour and it is not as strong as black tea. People in China and Japan like green tea very much. They usually drink green tea without milk.
People usually make tea in a teapot. People in different
countries use different types of teapots. There are some very beautiful teapots, and some very funny ones, too.
Tea pickers work on tea plantations. They water the tea plants
and prune them. When the plants are three years old or more, they choose the smallest, youngest leaves from each tea plant. They pick the leaves quickly but carefully from the plants to make tea.
Some people have used machines to pick tea-leaves but the
machines broke the plants and they could not choose the best tea-leaves.

People have grown tea in China for thousands of years. About
1,500 years ago tea was brought to Japan. At first only monks drank tea. About 700 years later, tea became a popular drink in Japan.
　　Tea did not arrive in Europe and North America until about 300 years ago. When people in Europe and North America first tasted tea, they liked it and wanted to drink it every day Therefore, tea sellers bought tea in Asia. Then they brought it many thousands
of kilometres to Europe and America, and sold it to their customers there.
　　There were no aeroplanes 300 years ago, therefore tea sellers used tea clippers - beautiful, fast sailing ships - to bring tea
to Europe and America. Many tea sellers became rich, but sometimes
a tea clipper sank. Then the tea seller lost all his money.
　　Sometimes the tea clippers had races. Every year, the new tea was picked and dried and then put into boxes in Asia. Then each tea seller tried to bring the tea to his customers before the others.
The winner always got the most money for the tea.
　　Tea was very expensive for a long time. Poor people did not have the money'to buy tea. Rich people used to keep their tea in
a strong box called a tea-caddy. They locked the box with a key
The lady of the house used to open the box every morning. She gave the servants enough tea for one day. Then she closed the box again and locked it. Today, tea is cheap and everybody can drink it.

How do You Make a Pot of Tea?

Why does Tea Keep Us Awake?


　　Bhodi-Dharma chewed tea-leaves to stay awake. Why? It is because there is caffeine in tea-leaves. There are other drinks with caffeine in, too, for example, Coca Cola and coffee.
　　Many people have a cup of coffee or tea in the morning before they go to work because caffeine stops them feeling sleepy. Students also drink coffee, tea or Coca Cola when they are studying because these drinks keep them awake.
　　In some places people do not drink tea, coffee or Coca Cola when they are sleepy They chew cola nuts because there is caffeine
in cola nuts.

Sleep


　　Everybody needs sleep. There are 24 hours in a day, and most people sleep for about eight hours. Many children sleep more than eight hours because they are growing. Many old people sleep less than eight hours because they sleep during the day
　　We usually work and study during the day, and sleep during the night. But little babies sleep during the day, too. Most babies sleep for about 16 hours a day.
What happens when you sleep?
　　First, you feel tired, your eyelids close and soon you are asleep. After about an hour and a half, your eyes start to move very fast behind your closed eyelids. This is because you are dreaming. You probably dream about four times every night, but you
do not usually remember your dreams when you wake up.
　　Most people sleep quietly, but some people talk or walk when they are asleep. Some people also snore. We call them snorers. Snorers cannot hear the noise they make. The loudest snorer in the world lives in Sweden. He made the loudest noise in 1993. It was
as loud as a train! Can you believe that?

Take It Away!


　　Bobby was a farmer. There was a caf6 beside his farm. It was called the Golden Elephant. Mrs Benn worked in the caf6, and she made very good meat pies.
At lunch-time Bobby always went to the caf6. He always ordered
a drink and a meat pie for himself, and a bone for his dog Bess. Mrs Benn liked animals. She had a big notice on the wall. It said: PETS ARE WELCOME. There was always a bowl of water on the floor for dogs.
　　One Sunday, Mrs Benn said, 'I'm going on holiday tomorrow, Bobby'
　　'That's nice,' said Bobby, 'but who will cook meat pies for me?'
　　'My sister Annie. She lives in the city. She'll come to work here for a week while I'm on holiday.'
　　On Monday, Bobby and Bess went to the caf6 at lunch-time. A small fat woman was standing behind the counter. Bobby smiled at her and said, 'A cup of coffee, a meat pie and a bone for my dog, please, Annie.'
Annie pointed at Bess and said, 'You mustn't bring THAT ANIMAL
in here!' 'Bess comes here every day,' said Bobby Annie pointed
to the notice on the wall. It said: NO DOGS. Bobby looked at the notice and said, 'But the notice used to say: PETS ARE WELCOME.'
'Take it away!' said Annie. 'I don't want dirty, noisy dogs
in my nice, clean caf6! Take it away!'
　　'All right,' said Bobby. 'Come on, Bess.' And they left the caf6. Bobby and Bess walked along the road to another caf6. It was called the Black Cat, and dogs were welcome there. In the Black Cat caf6, Bobby had a very naughty idea.

of milk for my cat.'
　　Annie saw Snowy and said, 'You mustn't bring THAT ANIMAL in here.'
'Your notice says: NO DOGS, but Snowy is a cat,' said Bobby.
'Take it away!' shouted Annie. 'Take your dirty cat away!'
　　'All right,' said Bobby. He was smiling. 'Come on, Snowy. Let's go to the Black Cat.'
　　On Wednesday, Bobby went to the Golden Elephant cafe again. This time he picked up his pet hen. The hen's name was Rainbow because her feathers were all the colours of the rainbow. Bobby walked into the caf6 with Rainbow under his arm. Bobby sat down and put Rainbow on a chair beside him. Rainbow sat there quietly and looked at everybody with her small black eyes.
'A coffee, a meat pie and some corn for my hen, please,' said
Bobby. He was smiling at Annie.
Annie did not smile, but she said, 'You mustn't bring THAT BIRD
in here!'
'Your notice says nothing about birds,' said Bobby. He pointed
to Annie's new notice. 'It says: NO DOGS! NO CATS!'
'Take it away!' shouted Annie.
'All right,' said Bobby. 'Come on, Rainbow. Let's go to the
Black Cat.'

　　Bobby came into the caf6. Annie was not very happy to see him again. Bobby ordered his lunch and said, 'I've left Mrs Post at home today.' Then he took a very small brown mouse out of his pocket.
He played with it while he was eating his pie. Now the notice said:
NO DOGS! NO CATS! NO BIRDS! NO RATS! NO PIGS!
　　The mouse jumped onto the floor and looked at Annie. Annie was very scared and she climbed onto the highest seat. -Take it away!' shouted Annie. 'Take your dirty little mouse away!' Bobby put the mouse in his pocket and walked out of the café.
Bobby had a horse. She worked on the farm, and her name was
Ladybird.
　　At five minutes to twelve on Sunday, Annie was at the café. 'My sister's coming home tonight,' she was thinking. 'Tomorrow I can
go back to the city. I used to like this place but now I never want to come here again!"
　　Suddenly Annie heard a noise. She looked out of the window and saw Bobby. He was leading a big horse on a rope. 'No! No! No!'
　　
screamed Annie. She ran upstairs to fetch her bags. She put a note
on the counter and a new notice on the door of the caf6, and left. The notice said: CLOSED.
　　Later the Brown family saw Annie in a taxi. The taxi was going towards the railway station.
Mrs Benn came home that afternoon. She looked at the notice
on the door and thought, 'Why is the caf6 closed?' She went inside and found a note on the counter. It said: I am leaving now. Love, Annie. Mrs Benn was worried, but she was too busy to think about Annie. She had to make lots of pies for her customers.
　　On Monday Bobby and Bess came to the Golden Elephant for their lunch. The old notice was there again. It said: PETS ARE WELCOME. There was a bowl of water on the floor, too.
'What happened to Annie? Why did she leave?' Mrs Benn asked
Bobby.
'I don't know,' said Bobby.
　　Dan, Betty and Pat were sitting at the next table. They smiled, but they did not say anything.

Farms


　　Farmers keep animals for meat, milk, eggs and other food. Some farmers keep many different animals, for example, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and pigs, but some keep just one kind of animal
or bird. There are cattle farms, pig farms, sheep farms and chicken farms.
　　Farmers keep chickens for their eggs and their meat. Some chickens live outside in the day time. The farmer feeds them, but they find worms and insects to eat, too. At night they sleep in chicken hutches.
In some farms chickens never go outside. They live in batteries. Their eggs and meat are cheap because it only takes a few people to look after thousands of chickens in batteries. We
call these chickens battery hens.
　　Farmers keep sheep for both their meat and their wool. They leave the sheep to eat grass on the grasslands. Sometimes farmers keep dogs on their farms to keep wild animals away, for example, wolves. Farmers also use these dogs to herd their sheep.
A long time ago, Australian sheep farmers used to ride horses
to herd their sheep. Today most of them ride motor cycles. Some also use dogs. When their dogs are tired, they sit on the motor cycles, too!
Every year shearers come to the farm to shear the sheep. This
does not hurt the sheep, and the wool soon grows again. Lorries then take the wool to factories. There, the wool is washed and combed into a sheet. The sheet is then twisted into a rope and the rope is stretched and twisted into a thin yarn. Later this yarn
is knitted to make ' loves, jumpers, 9 scarves and other things.
　　In some countries, some sheep farms are very big. Some are hundreds of kilometres away from the city. In Australia some children on the farms do not go to school. They listen to lessons
on the radio every day. When someone is ill, the Flying Doctor comes
in an aeroplane.
　　Have you seen cowboys on television? Cowboys work on cattle farms. A long time ago, cowboys used to wear big hats to keep the sun out of their eyes. They used to ride horses and catch cattle with ropes. They used to carry guns, too, because there were lots
of cattle thieves.
　　Today cowboys still wear big hats, some still ride horses but many of them ride motor cycles or drive lorries. Now they do not usually carry guns but they carry radios to talk to other cowboys. Sometimes they go to a show called a rodeo. They ride horses and catch cattle to win prizes.

f) They keep animals on farms.


Some farmers keep animals on their farms. Some farmers grow
plants on their farms. We call plants 'crops' if we grow them for food. Rice, wheat, oats, barley, corn, tea, vegetables and fruit are all crops.
Some farmers grow three or four different crops on the same
farm but some farmers grow only one crop. Some farmers only keep animals or grow crops on their farms. But some farmers keep animals and grow crops, too, so they have crops to feed their animals. Sometimes they also sell the crops to other people for food.
Farmers grow different crops in different parts of the world
because the weather is different in different places. Some plants need a lot of sun. Some need a lot of rain. So a farm in Japan can
be very different from a farm in Australia.
　　Farmers in South Africa, and California in the United States grow a lot of oranges, but farmers in cold places do not grow oranges. Oranges grow very well in these warm places because there is enough
sun and enough rain, and it is never very cold.
　　Many farmers grow rice in hot countries like China, Thailand and India because rice grows well in places with a high temperature and a lot of rain. Farmers usually grow rice in fields. There is always a lot of water in these rice fields. Some farmers grow rice
on hillsides, too.
　　People in China started to grow rice about 7,000 years ago. Now there are more than 14,000 different kinds of rice in the world. Over half 6f the people in the world eat rice as their main food. Farmers in China grow about 190 million tonnes of rice a year.

Working Animals


　　People keep animals because they like them. Some people keep animals because the animals work for them. Many animals work for people, for example, donkeys, horses, elephants and dogs.
　　Water buffaloes are very large. They look like cows, but they have very big horns. People in Europe and Asia keep them on farms
to pull ploughs.
　　Camels are the largest animals in the desert. They are very strong. People ride them to cross the desert.
　　Elephants are big and strong. People in Thailand use them to carry people and drag logs.
　　Dogs like working with people. Many dogs work on farms: They help farmers to herd cattle and sheep.
Dogs help the police to catch thieves. They also help the police
to find people when they are lost in the mountains or under the ground.
Some dogs help blind people. We call these dogs guide dogs.A
guide dog is 'the eyes' of a blind person. When there is a red traffic light, the guide dog stops. When the light is green, the guide dog leads the blind person across the road.
Some fishermen in China use cormorants to catch fish.
　　Cormorants are big black birds. They are good at catching fist. They have large feet and they use their feet to push them quickly through the water. They can swim very well and stay under the water for about two minutes.
When a fisherman goes fishing with his cormorants, he ties
apiece of grass round the neck of each cormorant, so it does not wallow the fish. Then the fisherman pushes the cormorants into the water and the cormorants catch fish with their beaks.
