An easy pick

Picking apples seemedto prince Fane to be just too simple. Where was the challenge in that?
He saw up ahead a gleam of gold against a rocky hill. As he strolled over to pickthe golden apple, he thought about the contest. The king had told him if he wanted to get his own ship to sail into the adventure, he had to pick three golden apples in the forest.prince Fane would have three hours to get them. When he laughed about how easy it would be, his father, the king added one more problem to contest.
He added a monster.
The monster would also be trying for the apples. If the monster got them first, then there would be no ship for Fane that had troubled the prince, but only he saw the monster. It shuffled into the throne room, and to fane it looked like furry jester whith three big floppy ears and bad teeth. It was strong, but was short. And to Fane it seemed very, very stupid.
Now he was Fane in the woods about to pick his first apple. He came to the rocky wall smiled, the reached for the apple. He plucked it from the branch. It was all so easy.
Then strong hands grabbed him around his waist. He was thrown to the ground. With a thud, he landed on his back and the apple flew from his hand up into the air. It came down into the hand of the furry monster "Fanks", it said through it crooked smile " I'm to wittle to weach"
Then before Fane could get up, the monster ran off into the woods with his three ears bouncing with every little step.
Fane followed the monster but he couldn't reach him, and Fane became sad, because he never could have his ship, and he realized that it was very foolish in believed that everything was so easy, he was to proud and very self confident, but he realized that he was wrong. His father listened his son confession and said to him that this was a test becaused he wanted that his son realized that nothing is easy in this world, and he had to work hard for everything that he want.
But at the end his father gave him the ship and asked if he learnt the lesson, Fne said yes and he travelled aroud the world.

New's comment

The title of my news is "The metals in your daily glass of wine that have been linked to cancer and Parkinson's" I find this interesting because this article says that one coup of wine daily can produce cancer and parakinson, because of the metals that this has, and many people like my mother and my father drink a coup of wine daily during the dinner. so I worried

Summary

This news says the one coup of wine daily can produce cancer and parkinson because of the metal that this has like copper, zink and nickel, but the highest levels of contamination were found in wines from Hungary and Slovakia. French. Also there is a tool called a target hazard quotient (THQ) and gives an indication of risk based on the known safe upper dose for each metal and the likely long-term exposure of someone drinking one glass of wine a day.

Target: is like an objective

Hazard: is like take risk
