Once there was a poor young musician. He played the violin well, but he couldn't make enough money to buy much food to eat.
One evening he was eating a little rice and fish for his only meal—supper. A thin white cat came up beside him and the cat looked very hungry. Feeling sorry for the cat, the musician gave it his rice and fish, while he went to sleep hungry that night.
The next evening, there was a storm. The musician took shelter（躲避）under a large tree next to a big house. Thunder made a loud noise and lightning lit up the sky.
The musician looked toward the house and the warm lights inside. On the doorstep sat the white cat from the night before. It raised a small white paw(爪)as if to beckon（召唤）the musician to come over! Then he ran into the yard. A man opened the door and invited the musician inside.
Minutes later, a large branch fell to the place where he'd been because of the lightning. Inside the house, the musician ate a delicious meal with the man. Then the man asked the musician what was in his case, and the musician took out his violin and began playing. The man clapped with pleasure. "Luck has brought you here tonight!" he said.

Dear friends,
I’m Xiaofei—on Douyin. Welcome to cook with me. Today I want to show how to make my favorite salad.
My dear mom passed down this recipe(食谱). It is called Ambrosia Salad, and it’s also my family’s favorite.
First, choose your favorite fruit. Use fruit in season. Make sure it is fresh. Besides, use fruit of different colors and try to make your fruit salad look as good as it tastes. For example, mixing apples, green pears, purple grapes and oranges together will make the salad look very colorful. I think the strawberries are a great addition! I especially like this in spring!
Then, put some salad dressing and mix the fruit and salad dressing together. If you want to give a special taste to your salad, you can also put in a quarter cup of peanut which is cut into pieces.
Make the fruit salad just before you are going to eat it. Some of the fruit will quickly turn brown when you leave it in the air for some time.
Don’t wait anymore, and try to do it yourself. If you like this recipe, please give me 5 stars.
