朋友们你们好！今天的零食是一个小故事，叫做“面包和鸡蛋”。
我相信你们很多人都爱吃面包和鸡蛋。
那在这个小故事里面，他们在说什么呢？ 我们一起边吃边学吧！

作者：秦志宁

面包说：“我是白色的，黄鸡蛋，你不要来！”
鸡蛋说：“我是圆的，方面包，你不要来！”
哥哥听了笑起来，他说：“黄鸡蛋在上面，白面包在下面。”
吃了一大口，哥哥说：“好吃，好吃！”

这个短短的故事很有意思对吧？
你觉得面包和鸡蛋，一开始，为什么都说：“你不要来！”？

"Beauty is not everything but it is something."

Many people are obsessed to have that porcelain skin and even change their nose and have lip fillers. The competition is stiff when it comes to the beauty department. However, is it enough? Is beauty alone enough to sustain a conversation, to win a pageant and to be successful in any field? This podcast aims to answer this question.
