The Best Thing In The World

(This passage contains all of the 220 Dolch Basic Sight Words.)

Once upon a time, there were four brothers who lived in a far away land. Their father was an old king. One day he said, "I will not live long now. Today you must start out into the world. In a year, bring back the best thing you have found. The one who can pick the best thing shall be the new king." The first brother said, "I will look in every city or town. I will buy the best thing I can for my father." The next two brothers said, "We will both go on fast ships over the sea. We will find something better." The last brother said, "I am going to ask the people here in our

own land to tell me the best thing." The other three brothers began to laugh. "Then you will never be king!" They said.

The last brother started off. When he had gone about six miles, he met a man. "What do you carry in those big bags?" he asked. "The best thing in the world," said the man. "These are full of the good nuts which fall from my five nut trees." "I don't think that would work," said the brother to himself, "I must try again." The brother went on another seven miles. He found a small brown bird. It had been hurt, so he put it in his coat where it could keep warm. As he went on, he saw a little girl crying. He ran to meet her. "Why are you crying?" he asked. "I want to get some water from the well," she said. "We use so much. We drink cold water. We wash the clothes clean with hot water. But I do not know how to pull it up. Please show me." The brother said, "Hold this bird and I will help you. It does not fly around any more because it got its wing cut." "Thank you. What a pretty bird!" she said. "I wish you would give it to me. If you will let me keep it, I will always be very kind to it. I will take care of it myself. I will make it grow well again." "Yes, you may have it," said the brother. So he gave her the bird and went on.

At night, he went to sleep under a round yellow haystack. When it was light again he walked on. Every day he would walk eight or ten miles. He asked the people about the best thing in the world. Some said it was best to sing. Some said it was best to run and jump and play. Some said

the green grass was best. Some liked the red and blue and white flowers best. One man said the best thing was to ride a black horse. He always stopped to help people who needed it. Soon he made many friends. All the people began to like him. They would say, "See there goes the king's son. He would be just the right kind of king for us." Every door was open to him. The people would call to him to stop. They would ask him to come and eat with them. After he ate, he would sit down and read to the children. After he read, he showed them how to draw and write. Months went by. He still had no beautiful thing to take to his father. Just before the year was done, he went home again.

The time came when the king called his sons together. "What did you bring?" He asked them all. The other brothers had many beautiful things. "And what did you bring?" said the king to the last brother. "This is too funny!" said the other brothers. "He has nothing!" But the king was kind to the last brother. "What did you bring me?" the king asked again. "I bring only the friendship of your people," said the last brother. "That is the best thing!" cried his father. "You shall be the new king."

从前，有四个兄弟住在一个遥远的地方。他们的父亲是一个老国王。一天，他说，“我现在活不长了，今天，你必须开始到外面的世界去，一年后，带回你已经找到最好的东西。可以挑到最好的东西的那一个将是新的国王。”第一个兄弟说，“我会去每一个城市或城镇寻找。我会为我的父亲买最好的东西。”接下来的两个兄弟说，“我们都将乘坐快速船过海去，我们会找到一个更好的。”最后的兄弟说，“我要问我们自己国家的人们，告诉我什么是最好的东西。”其他三个兄弟笑了起来。“那么，你将永远不会成为国王！”他们说。

最小的兄弟出发了。当他走了大约六英里，他遇到了一个男人。“你扛着的那些大包里装着什么？”他问道。“是世界上最好的东西，”那人说。“这些都是我的五棵槟榔树上掉下来的好坚果。” “我不这么认为。”这个兄弟对自己说，“我必须再试一次。”弟弟又走了七英里。他发现了一只小的棕色的鸟。它已经受到伤害，所以他把它放在他的外衣里，它可以保持温暖。他继续走，他看见一个在哭的小女孩。他跑来迎接她。“你为什么要哭呢？”他问道。“我想要得到一些井水，”她说。“我们使用了这么多，我们喝冷水，我们用热水把衣服洗干净，但我不知道如何把它拉起来，请告诉我。”弟弟说，“拿着这只鸟，我会帮助你，它不飞来飞去，因为它的翅膀被切掉了。” “谢谢你，多么漂亮的鸟！”她说。“我希望你给我，如果你让我得到它，我会一直对它好，我自己会照顾它，我会使它再次生长良好。” “是的，你可以拥有它。”弟弟说。于是他把鸟给了她，然后继续走。

到了晚上，他在一个圆形的黄色草堆下睡觉。天亮了，他继续前行。他每天步行8或10英里。他问人们什么是世界上最好的东西。有人说，最好的事是唱歌。有人说，最好的事是跑、跳和玩耍。有人说，绿色的草地是最好的。有些人最喜欢红色、蓝色和白色的花。一个男子说，最好的事情是骑一匹黑马。他总是停下来帮助需要他的人们。不久，他结识了很多朋友。所有的人都开始喜欢他。他们会说：“看，走过去的是国王的儿子，他是最适合于我们的国王。”所有的门向他敞开。人会叫他停下来。他们会请他来和他们一起吃。他吃了之后，会坐下来为孩子们读书。他读了之后，他又教他们如何写字画画。几个月过去了。他仍然没有为他的父亲采集到美丽的东西。在年底之前，他回家了。

到了国王叫他的儿子在一起的时候了。“你带来了什么？”他问他们。其他兄弟有很多美丽的东西。“你带来了什么？”国王问最后一个弟弟。“这是太可笑了！”其他兄弟说，“他有什么！”但国王对小儿子很好，“你带来了什么吗？”国王又问了一遍。“我带来的只是你的人民的友谊。”最后一个弟弟说。“这是最好的事情！”他的父亲喊道。“你将成为新国王。”
