Once upon a time, there used to live a lonely man. Although he lived alone, he got on well with the animals that were on his island. How did he get on the island? He was the only one who survived the plane crash and landed on the seashore. What's important, there was a huge mountain on his island. The problem was the fact, that he was too afraid to come closer and look at it. The fog was making it even more complicated.
One day, after he woke up, the sunlight was concentrated on the top of the mountain. He picked up his binoculars and watched the occurrence carefully. What he saw almost shocked him. He decided to give it a go and started climbing the mountain. At first, he found it really difficult to go up step by step but surprisingly the animals helped him! They weren't acting in a normal way. They were able to talk!
- Do you need any help? - said one of the tigers.
- Yes! I don't know where to put my second foot. I don't want to fall.
- I will see what I can do - the animal answered.
The help of the creatures was extremely useful. Without it, the man could have fell. Even the smallest creatures tried to push the man up.
- Thank you so much. I would have done nothing without you - said the man.
- You're welcome. We don't have many visitors here so we try to help everybody. - said the proud tiger.
Finally, he was standing on the top of the mountain. Suddenly, everything turned bright white. When he opened his eyes, he realised it was only a dream.

The Kungfu Master SONG LEE asked his student Tom: "Tom" he said, "I'd like to talk to you. I am an old man now. Here is my stick. I think China needs a new Kungfu Master. Please think of it. Will you be my successor? Please do so."
Song Lee thought that the time for him to leave would have come. And so he hoped that the 18 year old boy Tom would agree.
Tom had a great talent for Kungfu fighting. He was the student of SONG LEE, so that was true. He was talented.
But he also hesitated, continued his every day training of four hours. SONG LEE saw him train and saw the strong fighter he already knew for several years.
As the championship was announced Tom had the ok to participate and he did win every competition. So, immediately, after only two matches he fought a successfull fight and won against the Japanese boy called ATSUMI. At the prize ceremony he cried tears of joy and SONG LEE was so proud of his student Tom.
The victory convinced Tom to help SONG LEE and become the Kungfu Master, the successor of his great brave Kungfu Master SONG LEE. But it took another year.
After that year of intense 5-hour-training every single day, Tom finally had the courage to talk to SONG LEE. Every day since then he stayed hours with his Master: he fought, talked, stayed at his house in the Chinese mountains. And then when after a long, long winter spring finally seemed to come Tom said "YES!"
SONG LEE died after a week. Tom became his successor. He changed his name and fro then on he was SONG LEE TOM.
