One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! Its hairless and toothless! Its a monster!” they sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you dont do this, youll have a beating.”The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the kings order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth.

It promises people a quiet rest in the middle of the citys business center.Napping spaces are nothing new; places to rest are already set up in other big cities in the world. But the idea would appear to work well with the culture of Spain, where people traditionally take an afternoon nap, called siesta.The Madrid nap space recently opened with 19 beds. People can use them by the minute or by the hour, and they can also choose either a private or shared room. An hour of napping inside a private room costs about $15.Siesta &Go provides all bedding, clean nightshirts and other materials. Nippers can request to be woken up when their time is up. It also offers areas to work, with armchairs, newspapers and coffee for those not wishing to sleep.Philip &Go is one happy customer. Marco says he gets tired during the day because of hard work. He says a siesta is the perfect way to build up energy. “I come for about 30 minutes or something like that. That is usually enough for me to be full of energy.”While many Spanish people love their naps, others like Carlos Villarroja say they are just too busy to keep the tradition. “Its a Spanish tradition, but I think its more of a legend (传说) than a tradition. Because of the lifestyle and the working hours, we have very little free time for a siesta at least during the week.”But many health experts believe there is evidence that taking a short nap can be very good for the body and mind. Scientific studies show that taking a siesta can also prevent illness and lower blood pressure.5. What is not allowed for customers to do?A. Sleep for free B. Choose a private roomC.
