THE NORTH WIND AND THE SUN
A dispute arose between the North Wind and the Sun,each claiming that he was stronger than the other.At last they agreed to try their powers upon a traveler,to see which could soonest strip him of his cloak.The North Wind had the first try;and,gathering up all his force for the attack,he came whirling furiously down upon the man,andcaught up his cloak as though he would wrest it from him by one single effort:but the harder he blew,the more closely the man wrapped it round himself.Then came the turn of the Sun.At first he beamed gently upon the traveler,who soon unclasped his cloak and walked on with it hanging loosely about his shoulders:then he shone forth in his full strength,and the mall,before he had gone many steps,was glad to throw his cloak right off and complete his journey more lightly clad.
北风觉得自己的力量非常强大,能轻易把人吹得瑟瑟发抖,甚至能把一棵大树连根拔起,他为此非常得意。太阳对此很不屑,觉得这根本不算什么。他们为此争论不休。争吵没有结果,北风和太阳决定比试一下,谁能使得行人脱下衣服,谁就胜利。
北风一开始就猛烈地刮,路上的行人紧紧裹住自己的衣服。北风刮得更猛了,行人为了抵御寒冷,便添加更多衣服。北风疲倦了,只能让位给太阳。太阳最初把温和的阳光洒向行人,行人脱掉了添加的衣服,太阳接着把强烈的阳光射向大地,行人开始汗流浃背,衣服越脱越少,最后脱完衣服跳到河里去洗澡。太阳赢了。
小鸟问父亲:“世界上最高级的生灵是什么?是我们鸟类吗?”老鸟答道:“不,是人类。”
小鸟又问:“他们比我们活得幸福吗?”老鸟说:“远不如我们生活得幸福。”
“为什么他们不如我们幸福?”小鸟不解地问父亲。老鸟答道:“因为在人类心中生长着一根刺,叫做贪婪。”
小鸟又问:“婪是什么意思?”“你想亲眼见识见识吗,孩子?”
少顷,小鸟便叫了起来:“爸爸,有个人走过来了。”
老鸟飞离小鸟,落到来人身边,那人伸手便抓住了它,乐不可支地叫道:“我要把你宰掉,吃你的肉!”老鸟说道:“我的肉这么少,够填饱你的肚子吗?”那人说:“肉虽然少,却鲜美可口。”
老鸟说“我可以送你远比我的肉更有用的东西,那是三句至理,假如你学到手,便会发大财。”那人急不可耐:“快告诉我,这三句名言是什么?”
老鸟徐徐说道:“我可以告诉你,但是有个条件:我在你手中先告诉你第一句名言,待你放开我,便告诉你第二句名言,等到我飞到树上后,才会告诉你第三句名言。”
那人马上答道:“我答应你的条件,快告诉我第一句名言吧。”
老鸟说道:“第一句名言便是:莫惋惜已经失去的东西!根据我们的条件,现在请你放开我。”那人便放开了老鸟。“这第二句名言便是:莫相信不可能存在的事情。”说罢,它边叫边振翅飞上了树梢,“你真是个大傻瓜,如果刚才把我宰掉,你便会从我腹中取出一颗重量达120克、价值连城的大宝石。”
那人闻听,懊悔不已,把嘴唇都咬出了血,他望着树上的鸟,仍惦记着他们方才谈妥的条件,便又说道:“请你快把第三句名言告诉我!”
狡猾的老鸟讥笑他说:“贪婪的人啊,你的贪婪之心遮住了你的双眼。既然你忘记了前两句名言,告诉你第三句又有何益?难道我没有告诉你莫惋惜已经失去的东西,莫相信不可能存在的事情吗?你想想,我浑身的骨肉翅加起来还不足100克,腹中怎么可能有一颗超过120克的大宝石呢?”
那人闻听此言,顿时目瞪口呆。
本次活动我把重点定为目标1:引导幼儿理解故事内容,知道北风爷爷和太阳公公其实各有所长。
难点为目标2和目标3:
敢于在集体面前用较清楚的语言表达自己的观点。初步帮助幼儿树立自信心。
