“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to
move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a
flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up
and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and
then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan’s turn. He
flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of
comments about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land
and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer
comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had
to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the
water, brother? Is that another trick?” “No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the
competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my

To solve the problem, Natalie Hampton, 16, made an app called Sit Wzih Us. It
makes finding friends in the school canteen very easy. Natalie is from Sherman Oaks,
California, US.
The free app went online on Sep 9. Students can sign up as “ambassadors” (大使)
for a club. Then they can post “open lunch” events to invite others to join in.
Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone her whole seventh grade
year. The experience made her feel sad and she was even bullied (欺负). She changed
schools because of that.
People may want to know why you don't just ask to sit down. Natalie said the
app stops kids from being rejected in front of others. “This way it's very private. It's
through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that you're not going to
be rejected once you get to the table,” she told NPR.
So far, the app works well. “I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very
excited. People are already posting open lunches at my school. So I'm very excited,”
Natalie told NPR.
