路上碰见的`第一个动物有长脸大耳四条腿。“你是人吗?”狮子吼道,震得树林的叶子落了一地。长脸大耳四条腿的动物垂下头,满嘴白沫口齿不清地说,自己是一头倒霉的驴子,被人饿了三天之后还差点儿被打断了腿。“人是最坏的动物!”它控诉道。
小狮子要替驴子报仇,于是它们一前一后结伴同行,紧接着碰到的动物身上有一个巨大的肿块。“你是人吗?”狮子大吼,震落了树木的叶子。
背着肿块的动物声泪俱下,它当然不是人了,它是被人折磨得奄奄一息的骆驼。“那儿连撒尿的自由都不给,人是最坏的动物!”骆驼愤愤地说。
最后,它碰到了一个两腿直立而行的动物,吹着口哨。驴子和骆驼吓得躲到树林里去了,狮子大吼一声:“你是人吗?”震得叶子落了一地。
那两条腿的动物不慌不忙地说:“我是个木匠。”“哦,不是人。”小狮子有点儿泄气了,但还是问了一句,“木匠能追兔子吗?”
木匠说,他不会追兔子,但能做挡风遮雨的房子,如果狮子愿意,他可以马上做一个给它。小狮子骄傲地点点头。木匠卸下背上的工具箱,乒乒乓乓地敲打起来,不一会儿就制成了一个长方形的大木盒子。他对小狮子说:“得量身材,请跳进去试试。”
狮子一跃而入。
木匠说:“趴下来,把尾巴也收进去,我要试试盖子严不严,透不透气。”
狮子趴下,把尾巴收进盒里。木匠将盖子盖上,四周钉上了钉子,然后把木盒连同狮子卖给了马戏团。
驴子和骆驼在一旁看得目瞪口呆。驴子说:“其实跟人在一起,有水喝有料吃,我看咱们还是跟人走吧!”
骆驼说:“是啊!那些叛逃在外的也不是什么好东西,咱们还是跟人走吧!”木匠就把工具箱绑在骆驼背上,骑上驴子,吹着口哨,得意洋洋地上路了。
Christmas was coming .Mr Smith had no money to buy any presents for his children .His wife was ill and he spent a lot of money on her medicine .And the harvest was bad and all his family were going go be hungry the next spring .He was quite worried about it .
“We had only a cock ,”said Mrs Smith one day .“You’d better take it to the town .Sell it there and buy some cakes and sweets for our children .”
“It’s a good idea !”the man said and caught the cock the next morning and put it into a box .It was difficult to walk on the road covered with thick snow .Two hours later he was very tied and wanted to have a rest .He put the box to the ground and sat down .
“The air in the box must be close ,”the man said to himself .“I’d better let the cock walk outside for a while ,or it’ll die .”
So he put the cock to the ground .When he started again ,he couldn’t catch it any longer .
“How foolish you are !”Mr Smith called out angrily .“You can herald the break of day at night but you cann’t find the way to the town in the daytime !”
狐狸看见了一只硕大无比的鹿,便对它说:“狮子病得很厉害,就快死了。它正在考虑由谁继承它的王位呢。看样子它认为只有你是最适合的人选,它认为你身材魁梧、素有威信,如果你能去为它送终,想必你成为国王的机会会更大!”
鹿欣喜地跟着狐狸走进了山洞。一进洞口,狮子就猛然朝鹿扑过来,鹿下意识地闪开了,可是耳朵却被狮子撕了下来,鹿慌忙逃走,捡回了一条性命。狮子没有得逞,于是命令狐狸再去一次。
狐狸说:“这件事情太难办了……”不过它看到狮子变了脸色,马上说:“不过,我会尽力帮你办的。”于是,它又来到了鹿的`面前。
“你怎么这样胆小怕事呢?刚才大王是想告诉你一些关于王位的忠告与指示罢了,你就慌成这样,还把耳朵拽坏了。如果你再不争取,大王就会把王位传给狼,你再跟我去一次吧。我会帮助你说几句好话的。”
可怜的鹿又一次受骗了,它一进洞就被狮子咬住喉咙,转眼间就被剖开了肚子,狐狸站在一旁偷偷地把鹿的心脏当做自己的酬劳吃了。狮子吃完后,仍在寻找鹿的心。
狐狸远远地站着说:“你不要再找了,要是它有心的话,就不会两次走到这里来。”
