Meet Kathleen the mouse and Mark the elephant. Kathleen is very brave and likes adventure, but Mark is very shy and scared of many things. But friends stay together, so Mark follows Kathleen wherever she goes. Sometimes they get into some very sticky situations.
見見老鼠凱薩琳和大象馬克。凱薩琳非常勇敢又喜歡冒險，但馬克的個性十分害羞，對許多事情都感到害怕。不過，朋友都喜歡黏在一塊兒，所以凱薩琳走到哪兒，馬克就會跟到哪兒。有時候，他們也會碰上非常棘手的情況...
"Eating right" 吃的健康
One morning, Kathleen woke up to the sound of bacon frying in the pan. She couldn't just hear it, she could smell it too.
"Oh no you don't!" yelled Kathleen as she ran into the kitchen to stop Mark. "Mark, you've been doing such a good job exercising. You don't want to ruin it all by eating stuff like bacon, do you?"
"What's the point of exercising if I can't eat delicious things like bacon?" Mark asked.
"OK, fine. Because you've been working hard and it's Saturday, you can have bacon just this one time. But you have to eat some fruit and drink a glass of milk too!"
"I'll drink the milk, but I'm putting chocolate in it," Mark answered.
Kathleen gave him a warning look. Mark settled down to eat his breakfast, and Kathleen decided that if Mark was going to splurge, she could too. She took a big piece of cheese out of the refrigerator and sat down to eat her breakfast.
"Are you finished yet?" she asked after she had eaten the last bit of cheese.
"Yes, I am," answered Mark.
"Good, now let's get outside and exercise!"
"Not just yet," answered Mark, relaxing on the couch. "Cartoons first. Come on, it's Saturday."

某日早上，凱薩琳聽到鍋子煎培根的聲音，醒了過來。她不只聽其聲，還聞到了香味。
「喔，不！」凱薩琳大叫，跑到廚房阻止馬克。「馬克，你一直不間斷地運動，你不會想吃培根這種東西，毀了一切吧？」
馬克問：「假如我不能吃培根這樣的美食，那運動有什麼意義？」
「好吧。看在你一直認真運動，今天又是星期六的份上，這一次就讓你吃培根。不過你也要吃點水果，喝杯牛奶。」
馬克回答說：「我會喝牛奶，不過我要在裡頭加巧克力。」
凱薩琳瞪他一眼做為警告。馬克坐下來吃早餐，凱薩琳決定，假如馬克想要放縱大吃，那她也可以。她從冰箱取出一大塊起司，坐下來吃她的早餐。
她把起司吃得一乾二淨後，問說：「你吃完了嗎？」
馬克回答：「是，我吃完了。」
「好，現在我們出去運動吧！」
「還不是時候，」馬克在沙發上懶洋洋地說：「先看卡通。拜託！今天是星期六。」 （翻譯：賴美君）
The 2025 Seoul International Book Fair was held from June 18 to 22 at the COEX Convention & Exhibition Center in Seoul, South Korea.

In late 2024, the suicide of acclaimed Taiwanese author Chiung Yao at 86 sparked a societal debate. She expressed her desire to avoid the difficult aging process and sought to govern her own death rather than leave it to fate. Her statements propelled the issue of “euthanasia” back into the public arena, posing the question of whether Taiwan should legalize euthanasia to grant patients and the elderly the right to die with dignity. Euthanasia, the intentional ending of a life to relieve suffering, is legal for humans in countries like the Netherlands and Belgium but remains prohibited in Taiwan.
