小猴摘桃
The Monkey and the peach
There is a little monkey on Monkey Hill. He is smart and lively. He always likes to leave things behind and can t do anything well.
猴山上有一只小猴子,又聪明又活泼,就是老爱丢三落四,什么事也做不好。
One day,It sneaked down the hill. He walked and walked into a peach grove. The peach trees are full of big red peaches.
有一天, 它偷偷溜下山来。它走呀,走呀走进了一片桃树林。桃树上结满了又红又大的桃子。
The little monkey climbed up the tree and picked the biggest and reddest peach. He was very happy. He went on happily again and entered a vegetable garden with corn planted beside it. He threw down the peach, stood on tiptoe and broke off a big corn. The little monkey left the garden with the big corn and came to a melon field. The big watermelon in the melon field is round and smiling at the little monkey.
小猴爬到树上,摘了一个最红最大的桃子,心里快活极了。它又高兴地往前走,走进了一个菜园子, 菜园子的边上种着玉米。它扔下桃子,踮起脚,掰下一个大玉米。小猴子拿着大玉米离开菜园子,它又来到一 片瓜地。瓜地里的大西瓜滚圆的,正朝着小猴笑呢。
The little monkey threw down the corn and picked two big watermelons happily. Suddenly a hare ran by. The little monkey was so happy that he shouted, "I wish I had caught a hare back." He threw down the watermelon and jumped at the hare. The rabbit jumped ahead and the monkey jumped after him. But the rabbit ran too fast and disappeared in a moment.
小猴扔下玉米,赶紧高高兴兴地摘了两个大西瓜。突然一只野兔从身边跑过去。小猴高兴得大叫:“我要是抓只野兔回去就更好了。”它丢下西瓜,向野兔扑去,那兔子一蹦一跳地在前面跑,小猴一蹦一跳地在后面追。可兔子跑得太快了,一会就没影了。
It was dark again, so the little monkey had to go back to Monkey Hill, empty-handed, and he got nothing.
天又黑了,小猴子只好回到猴山,两手空空,他什么也没得到。
