Passage 1
Practice Makes Perfect
Finally, the day of the much awaited and the most sought after annual school event, the Winter Talent Show, had arrived. The students had put in a lot of hard work into preparing for the show and they were both excited and anxious. However, regardless of the effort and time they put in, it was Melissa who always won the first prize. She was the best dancer in her school and everyone, including her, was certain that she would win the show. This year, Melissa was so confident about her dancing skills that she had barely practiced her routine twice.

As Melissa sat backstage, she peeped out of the curtains hoping to get a glimpse of her competitors. As she watched them perform, she was admittedly taken aback by Lucy's flawless performance. Melissa realized that Lucy had been practicing her dance routine every spare minute of the day. Lucy had even skipped all the social activities that year, just to improve her dancing skills. Nonetheless, she was confident that no amount of practice could make Lucy better than her.

Melissa snapped out of her reverie when she heard her name being announced. She walked on to the stage, confident as ever. As the music filled the auditorium and she began dancing, she realized that she was out of form. Her body was not moving as smoothly and her legs felt wobbly because she had not practiced enough. To her dismay, Lucy won the prize that year and Melissa realized that there was no substitute for hard work. She promised herself that she would never become so over-confident again.

Passage 2
A Lesson to Never Forget
Once upon a time, in an isolated forest, there lived a selfish fox. He could never put himself in another person's position and always thought only about his own well-being and benefit. All the animals, except a kind-hearted stork, disliked him. Delighted at the thought of having one friend in the forest, the fox invited the stork over to his house for dinner. He asked her to come hungry and told her that he would prepare a delicious meal for her.

The stork ignored the warnings of her friends and accepted the fox's invitation. As she sat at the dinner table, her eyes lit up on seeing the scrumptious meal that the fox had laid out. She was glad that she had trusted her instincts. Soon, the fox had set up plates on the dinner table. The stork sat there speechless, for she thought it was obvious that it would be difficult to eat from a plate using a beak. But the fox didn't seem to notice. Rather, once he was done with his own food, he took her plate and gobbled down her share too.

The stork was disappointed but decided that she would teach the fox a lesson, so she called the fox over for dinner at her place the next day. She cooked the most aromatic food and made the fox wait a long time before serving dinner. To the fox's dismay, she served the food in a vessel so tall that the fox couldn't reach his food. That night, the fox went hungry and the stork had taught the fox a lesson.
