Part A
This is one of the greatest masterpieces of Chinese landscape painting. When westerners first
discovered Chinese paintings like this one, they could not see their value. To understand painting,
you need to understand calligraphy. The character is not a picture of an object in the real world,
but a symbol for an idea. As Chinese characters are symbols for ideas, so elements in a Chinese
landscape, rocks, water, trees and mountains, became symbols of concepts. For the Chinese,
pictures painted with a brush are symbols that carry both the surface meaning and additional
hidden meanings. Chinese paintings are not just pretty pictures. They mean something.

The Cave
Tom loved to explore. He went walk long miles in the mountains, looking for new
things. One day, Tom and his best friend wanted to go to the top of a mountain. That mountain
was almost unknown to other climbers. They would have to make their own path to the top.
There, they found a cave. It was very dark inside. They took their flashlights and turned them
on, so they could see where they were going. As they walked deeper into the cave, they found
themselves in a big room. To their surprise, on the walls of the room there were drawings of
deer, trees and people. Someone had been there long before and had made those drawings.
They looked very old and fantastic. Tom took out his camera and took pictures of the
drawings on the walls. When it was getting late, Tom and his friend had to leave the cave and
go back. They decided to come again. Two weeks later, an earthquake destroyed the cave. So
Tom and his friend never had the chance to see those drawings a second time. The pictures
taken by Tom were the only proof of the existence of the cave.

relationship with the whales has been a distant one. If a memory remains behind the
eyes of these gentle creatures, it is rarely if ever shown. Rather our first furtive
greeted with curiosity and a longing for
attempts to enter the whale’s domain seem
