Kid Power in Action!
Kids wanted a Chicken Soup book of their own, so here it is! Children Soup for the Kid’s Soul is for kids ages nine through thirteen, and it’s “all that!”
Sometimes you feel like life is a complete blast(冲击), from scoring the winning goal to hanging out with your friends. Yet other times, life is too difficult: You seem to see violence(暴力) everywhere you turn, more parents are getting divorced(离婚), your best friend moves away, or you feel like you don’t fit in.
Now there is a place to find answers and encouragement and to help you realize that your dreams really can come true.
With funny stories about friendship and family, and serious stories about brave kids and difficult choices, this book will make you laugh, cry, think, and feel good about yourself.
Ever since the first Chicken Soup for the Soul was published in June 1993, we have been getting requests(请求) from kids all over the world asking for a Chicken Soup book just for them. So here it is, the first full-length Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul, written by kids and by grown-ups who haven’t forgotten what it’s like to be a kid.

There was once a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace，Many artists ．The king looked at all the pictures．But there were only two he really liked，and he had to choose them．
There was a calm lake in one picture．The lake was a perfect mirror and peaceful towering(高 大的)mountains were all around it．Overhead was a blue with light white clouds All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace．
The other picture had mountains，too．But they were bare(光秃秃的)and had rough rocks．
Above was a(n) sky，from Which rain and in which lightning flashed．Down the side of the mountain a waterfall fell quickly．This did not look peaceful ．
But when the king looked ，he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush in a crack (裂缝)in the rock．In the bush a mother bird had built her nest．There，in the middle of the rush of
angry water，sat the mother bird on her nest—in perfect peace．
Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture．Do you know ?
‘‘Because，’’explained the king，‘‘peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise，trouble，or hard work，Peace to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart．That is the real meaning of peace．”
