Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去,将它从梦中吵醒。狮子生气地跳起来,捉住老鼠,要弄死它。老鼠哀求说:「只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命,我将来一定会报答你的大恩。」狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住,用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的`吼声,走来用牙齿咬断绳索,释放了它,并大声说:「你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向狮子效劳的。」
Country Garden and Me
On the way from Panyu City to Shunde City and approaching the conjunction point of both cities, a big advertisement board of the infamous Country Garden will catch your eyes. And on the board, a lovely girl gently holds a little white pigeon.
She looks at everybody with a sweet smile. Who is this girl? Let me tell you later. Country Garden is located at the Beijao town, Shunde City of Guangdong Province. Ten years ago when my Dad and Mom took me as a baby to Guangzhou, it was a wasteland here. But what does this piece of wasteland look like nowadays? Country Garden has been developed and enlarged rapidly on the ground of this land, and a great number of high-quality houses and apartments have been built up within the garden. Over the past decade, other nine country gardens with various unique designs have been erasing around the great city of Guangzhou. The construction and management of several gardens have engaged the devoted contributions from my Dad and Mom.
Country Garden has grown up together with me, and I am one of the witnesses of its growth and development.
今天,妈妈要教我做一道菜,菜的名字叫:茭瓜炒肉丝。
我学着妈妈的样子,先将茭瓜放入盆内,接点水后将茭瓜清洗干净,把茭瓜的根用刀切掉,再从中间剖开,把里面的瓜籽掏出,将其扔掉,然后将掏好的茭瓜切成细丝。妈妈怕我切着手于是帮我切了,但她还是让我切了几下。我毕竟是第一次做菜刀在我的手里又重又笨,而且不好用,再看看刀在妈妈的手里,活动自如。看看切好的茭瓜丝,妈妈的是薄厚均匀,我的是粗细各异,长短不一。唉!真是差了“十万八千里”。正所谓“看花容易绣花难”啊!但我不放弃,毕竟这是第一次,万事开头难吗!这时,妈妈正在把辣椒切成片。
准备工作做好了,接下来就是炒菜。我把锅放在灶台上,开气打火,等到锅热了,再放些花生油,等一会儿油热了,放少许的辣椒,再把事先准备好的茭瓜放入锅中,翻炒一分钟。然后把现成的肉丝放入锅内,最后放入盐、酱油、醋等调味品,再翻炒三分钟,就这样一盘香喷喷的茭瓜炒肉丝出锅了。
今天我很高兴,因为我自己做了一次饭。我想这只是一次开头,以后我要多做一些家务,这样既减轻了妈妈的负担,又锻炼了自己,一举两得,何乐而不为呢!
一大早,爸爸妈妈去乡下办事,说是要下午回来,嘱咐我把作业写好,中午泡桶方便面吃。我答应了。
呵呵,真是山上无老虎,猴子称霸王呀!等他们一走,我就立马尽情地看起我最喜爱的碟片动画片《大耳朵图图》。到了中午,肚子向我唱起了“空城计”,我才想起要吃饭了。我打开冰箱,准备到里面拿根火腿肠泡面吃,咦,里面躺着两个圆溜溜的`土豆,像两个胖小子。土豆可是我最喜爱的食物之一,我何不来学着炒炒,一来可以丰富我的口感,二来等妈妈回来了,也可一在她面前显摆显摆,省得她老说我四体不勤,一事不会。
说干就干,我从冰箱里拿出一个土豆,根据平常观察妈妈得来的,忙活开了。首先,给土豆去皮美容,洗干净,切成细条状。辣椒、葱,一律备齐。然后,把锅洗干净,开火,倒油,等油有七成热,拧成中火,依次放入土豆、辣椒、葱头,洒上盐,翻炒一阵,最后往锅里倒些水,刚好没过土豆,盖上锅盖。这时,大耳朵图图的声音又传了过来,反正土豆煮熟还要一段时间,我又跑到客厅看电视去了……
咦,哪来的糊味?糟了,我的土豆,等我跑到厨房把土豆从火上解救下来,我可怜的土豆,它们的脸比包公还黑!
这就是我第一次炒菜。
人生有无数个第一次,这些伴随着我成长的第一次,就像一串糖葫芦,酸酸甜甜的味道让我回味无穷,让我难忘。
一天,爸爸妈妈很晚还没回来,我的肚子“咕噜咕噜”地叫起来。我产生了一个念头:炒一道爸爸妈妈最爱吃的菜——土豆丝。
说干就干,我找了两个圆圆的土豆,打开水龙头洗了洗,削去皮,然后开始切片。咦!真奇怪,平常在妈妈手中都那么好用的刀,如今在我手中怎么这么不听使唤呢?我右手紧握菜刀,左手紧按土豆,尽量使刀平稳,然后小心翼翼地切起来。突然,土豆一滚,刀失去了控制。“啊——”我吓得大叫起来。好险!刀从我手背上掠过,只蹭破了一点儿皮。就这样,我费了九牛二虎之力,终于把土豆切完了,但摆在我面前的哪里是土豆丝,分明是一堆又粗又长的土豆棍儿。
准备工作做好了,接下来开始炒菜了。我把锅放在灶台上,开气打火,等到锅热了,再放些植物油。只听“嗞嗞”一声,锅里的油像一群小豆子一样活蹦乱跳,我吓得连忙后退,我又小心翼翼地向前走了一步,手拍着胸口长嘘一口气:“真是吓死宝宝了!”做菜原来这么可怕。随后,我把土豆丝倒入锅中,又是一阵“嗞嗞”声,翻炒一阵后,该放调料了,这可是个头疼的事,我不知道要放多少盐。正当我犹豫不决时,糟了!有些土豆烧焦了,我笨手笨脚地放了一些盐、鸡精,再翻炒了一两分钟,就这样,一盘土豆丝出锅了。
爸爸妈妈回来了,我为了给他们一个惊喜,故意不让他们知道。盖上锅,妈妈正要进厨房,一打开锅,一股香气扑鼻而来,她惊喜地说:“这是你做的?”我点点头,妈妈开心地说:“看来你已经长大了!”虽然有点烧焦了,咸了点,可是尝到自己第一次辛苦做出的菜,我吃起来特别香,妈妈也夸我做得不错。
经过这次炒菜,我到了劳动的滋味。
今天放学回家时,老师布置了一个特殊的作业自己炒一道菜。我高兴极了,把这件事告诉了爸爸。经过和爸爸讨论,我决定做最易学的“西红柿炒鸡蛋”。
做这道菜首先是打鸡蛋。看到爸爸轻轻一磕,蛋清和蛋黄就乖乖地溜进了碗里,我不禁也想试试。我照着爸爸的样子磕鸡蛋,没想到由于用力太大,把蛋壳也弄进了碗里。我只好把蛋壳从碗里取出来,心里有点泄气,没想到磕鸡蛋也会出错呀!
鸡蛋搅好了,该炒鸡蛋了。不过,爸爸说这时还不能倒油,因为锅上一般都有水珠,立刻倒油的话油会溅飞到身上,很危险的。所以倒油前得先热热锅。锅热好后,我把油倒进锅里,一小会儿后把鸡蛋液也倒进去。然后用力翻炒,一分钟后鸡蛋就炒好了。
下一步就是炒西红柿了。我把切好的西红柿倒进锅里,再倒入点水。看到这儿,你或许会问:“为什么要倒入水呢?”哈哈,这你就不知道了吧!倒水,是为了让西红柿变成浓浓的西红柿汁。西红柿汁做好后,我把炒好的鸡蛋倒进锅里,让鸡蛋充分吸入西红柿汁,这样做出来的西红柿炒鸡蛋吃起来才不腻呢!
大功告成,我的菜终于炒好了!我尝了尝,香,真香呀!我高兴极了,因为,我也学会炒菜啦!
