儿童英语寓言故事:自不量力的青蛙
An Ox came down to a reedy pool to drink. As he splashed heavily into the water, he crushed a young Frog into the mud. The old Frog soon missed the little one and asked his brothers and sisters what had become of him.
一头公牛来到一个芦苇丛生的池塘边饮水。它的蹄子深深的踩到水里,把池塘里的一只小青蛙踩了个血肉模糊。没多久,老青蛙就发现,自己找不见那只小青蛙了。她问2小青蛙的兄弟姐妹,到底发生了什么事情。
“A great big monster,” said one of them, “stepped on little brother with one of his huge feet!”
“一个巨大的妖怪,”其中一只小青蛙说,“用它那庞大无比的脚,把弟弟给踩碎了!”
“Big, was he! ” Said the old Frog, puffing herself up. “Was he as big as this?”
“体型巨大,对吧?”老青蛙鼓足气,把自己胀得大大的,说,“是不是像我这样大?”
“Oh, much bigger!” they cried.
“哦,比这样自要大多了!”小青蛙们喊道。
The Frog puffed up still more. “He could not have been bigger than this,” she said. But the little Frogs all declared that the monster was much, much bigger and the old Frog kept puffing herself out more and more until, all at once, she burst.
老青蛙继续鼓气,把自己胀的更大。“不可能比这还大。”她笃定的说。然而,小青蛙们众口一次的认定,那个妖怪比她现在这样子还要大的多。于是,老青蛙就不停的鼓气,没想到,一下子就把自己的肚皮给张破了。
