question: There once was a beautiful princess named Lizzie who lived in a castle in the woods. One day she went for a walk to see if any of the spring flowers had started to bloom. Her mother's birthday was the next day. If there were flowers blooming she would pick some for her mother. Her mother's name was Queen Alice. As she got deeper into the woods she came to a place that had a lot of flowers. There were beautiful lilies growing around the edge of a pond. There were some deer drinking water from the pond. She picked some lilies for her mother, the queen. The lilies were white and yellow and red. She picked 12 lilies for her mother. Lizzie also saw mushrooms growing in the woods. There were birds building a nest in the bushes. Under the bush she saw a paper cup that someone had left. There were beautiful butterflies on the bush, too. The sun was warm so she lay down to rest under the shade of a tree. She fell asleep and as she was sleeping she had a bad dream. She dreamed that as she was walking through the woods. In her dream she tripped over a log and hurt her ankle. She started to cry because she was afraid that nobody would miss her and she would have to sleep in the woods.

question: Kathmandu, Nepal (CNN) -- An 80-year-old Japanese man on Thursday became the oldest person to reach the top of Mt. Everest, officials said. 

Yuichiro Miura reached the top of Everest Thursday morning with his physician son Gota, mountaineering official Gyanendra Shrestha said from the base of Everest. 

Miura's achievement eclipses that of a Nepali man who climbed Everest at age 76 in 2008. 

The oldest woman to climb Everest is also a Japanese. She was 73 when she reached the top last year. 

Miura broke his hip in an accident two years ago, and he underwent heart surgery in January. 

"I am still healthy and strong. I think I have a good chance to reach the summit of Everest," he said via phone earlier this month. 

To prepare, Miura walked three times a week with loads of 25 to 30 kilograms (55 to 66 lbs) on his back. 

He reached the top of the 8,848-meter (29,035-foot) peak twice before: in 2003 at age 70, and in 2008 at age 75. 

"I have a dream to climb Everest at this age," he said. "If you have a dream, never give up. Dreams come true." 

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the first expedition to reach the summit of Everest: Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay made it to the top of the mountain on May 29, 1953. 

Earlier this month, a 27-year-old graphic designer has made history by becoming the first Saudi woman to conquer the mount.
