2 Pronunciation competition:

A long time ago in China, there was a boy named Ping who loved flowers. Anything he planted burst into bloom. Up came flowers, bushes, and even big fruit trees, as if by magic! Everyone in the kingdom loved flowers too. They planted them everywhere, and the air smelled like perfume.
The Emperor loved birds and animals but flowers most of all, and he tended his own garden every day. But the Emperor was very old. He needed to choose a successor to the throne.
Who would his successor be? And how would the Emperor choose?
Because the Emperor loved flowers so much, he decided to let the flowers choose. The next day a proclamation was issued: All the children in the land were to come to the palace. There they would be given special flower seeds by the Emperor.
"Whoever can show me their best in a year's time," he said, "will succeed me to the throne."
This news created great excitement throughout the land! Children from all over the country swarmed to the palace to get their flower seeds. All the parents wanted their children to be chosen Emperor, and all the children hoped they would be chosen too!

Rabbits are always very uppity during the Christmas season and Peter Rabbit was no exception. After upsetting the third bowl of mincemeat onto the sandy floor, he was sent to his arms to fetch a cup of suet. On the way Peter bumped into his cousin, Benjamin Bunny, he was looking equally gloomy. His mother had sent him to Mrs. Rabbits for a handful of raisins. "Let's stay out of the way for a bit," suggested Peter. "Good idea," said Benjamin. The cousins set about playing rabbit cricket with holly berries and firkins when William sauntered by. William was a turkey. He was a puffed-up person, full of his own importance. Nothing made him happier than his bold, brave fan of tail feathers which rattled upon the cobbles as he strutted about.
