<p><em>Two friends find a golden nugget on the ground. A young girl meets a fox spirit. A dog saves a life, a tiger takes a life. A girl runs away from her fishing boat. And a boy saves the spirit of his grandfather.</em></p><p>Believe it or not, it's possible for you to read and understand the stories in this book even if you start off not knowing a single word of Chinese! We won't lie to you and say it will be easy, but with time and patience you can certainly do it.</p><p>Each page of Chinese faces a page of pinyin (phonetic spelling), so if you don't recognize a word, you can check the pinyin to see how it's pronounced. You can then look up the word's meaning in the glossary in the back of the book. A full English translation is also included.</p><p>You can also listen to a complete audiobook of all of these stories, available free on YouTube and downloadable from our website.</p><p>These stories are written by the best-selling writing team of Jeff Pepper and Xiao Hui Wang, authors of the <em>Journey to the West </em>series of graded readers, translations of Chinese classics including the <em>Dao De Jing</em>, the <em>Art of War</em> and the <em>San Zi Jing</em>, and lots of other great books.
