The Tortoise and the Ducks (English)

Total Words: 282

The Tortoise, you know, carries his house on his back. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot leave home. They say that Jupiter punished him so, because he was such a lazy stay-at-home that he would not go to Jupiter's wedding, even when especially invited.

After many years, Tortoise began to wish he had gone to that wedding. When he saw how gaily the birds flew about and how the Hare and the Chipmunk and all the other animals ran nimbly by, always eager to see everything there was to be seen, the Tortoise felt very sad and discontented. He wanted to see the world too, and there he was with a house on his back and little short legs that could hardly drag him along.

One day he met a pair of Ducks and told them all his trouble.

"We can help you to see the world," said the Ducks. "Take hold of this stick with your teeth and we will carry you far up in the air where you can see the whole countryside. But keep quiet or you will be sorry."

The Tortoise was very glad indeed. He seized the stick firmly with his teeth, the two Ducks took hold of it one at each end, and away they sailed up toward the clouds.

Just then a Crow flew by. He was very much astonished at the strange sight and cried:

"This must surely be the King of Tortoises!"

"Why certainly—" began the Tortoise.

But as he opened his mouth to say these foolish words he lost his hold on the stick, and down he fell to the ground, where he was dashed to pieces on a rock.

Moral: Foolish curiosity and vanity often lead to misfortune.

乌龟和鸭 (中文翻译 拼音注音)

众zhòng所suǒ皆jiē知zhī，乌wū龟guī总zǒng是shì把bǎ家jiā背bèi在zài背bèi上shàng。无wú论lùn它tā多duō么me努nǔ力lì，都dōu不bù能néng离lí开kāi自zì己jǐ的de家jiā。人rén们men说shuō，那nà是shì朱zhū庇bì特tè对duì它tā的de惩chéng罚fá，因yīn为wèi它tā又yòu懒lǎn又yòu宅zhái，即jí便biàn是shì特tè意yì邀yāo请qǐng它tā去qù参cān加jiā朱zhū庇bì特tè的de婚hūn礼lǐ，它tā也yě断duàn然rán拒jù绝jué了le。

很hěn多duō年nián过guò后hòu，乌wū龟guī就jiù后hòu悔huǐ当dāng初chū没méi有yǒu去qù参cān加jiā朱zhū庇bì特tè的de婚hūn礼lǐ。每měi当dāng看kàn着zhe鸟niǎo儿ér们men欢huān快kuài地de翱áo翔xiáng，野yě兔tù和hé花huā栗lì鼠shǔ等děng动dòng物wù迅xùn捷jié地de跳tiào跃yuè，就jiù十shí分fēn渴kě望wàng去qù看kàn看kàn这zhè个gè世shì界jiè，这zhè令lìng它tā伤shāng感gǎn而ér忧yōu郁yù。它tā也yě想xiǎng去qù看kàn看kàn这zhè个gè世shì界jiè，但dàn背bèi上shàng的de家jiā、短duǎn小xiǎo的de腿tuǐ，都dōu令lìng它tā寸cùn步bù难nán行xíng。

有yǒu一yì天tiān，它tā遇yù到dào了le两liǎng只zhǐ鸭yā子zi，就jiù向xiàng它tā们men倾qīng诉sù了le自zì己jǐ的de苦kǔ恼nǎo。

“我wǒ们men可ké以yǐ带dài你nǐ去qù看kàn世shì界jiè，”鸭yā鸭yā们men说shuō道dào。“用yòng你nǐ的de牙yá齿chǐ紧jǐn紧jǐn咬yǎo住zhù这zhè根gēn棍gùn子zi，我wǒ们men飞fēi着zhe把bǎ你nǐ带dài到dào空kōng中zhōng，那nà样yàng你nǐ就jiù可ké以yǐ鸟niǎo瞰kàn整zhěng个gè世shì界jiè了le。但dàn是shì，请qǐng务wù必bì不bú要yào说shuō话huà，否fǒu则zé你nǐ会huì后hòu悔huǐ的de。”

乌wū龟guī对duì此cǐ高gāo兴xìng极jí了le。它tā紧jǐn紧jǐn咬yǎo住zhù棍gùn子zi，两liǎng只zhǐ鸭yā子zi各gè持chí一yī端duān，就jiù飞fēi上shàng云yún霄xiāo了le。

就jiù在zài那nà时shí，一yì只zhī乌wū鸦yā碰pèng巧qiǎo飞fēi过guò。它tā对duì这zhè奇qí特tè的de现xiàn象xiàng感gǎn到dào惊jīng诧chà，就jiù惊jīng叹tàn道dào：

“这zhè定dìng是shì龟guī王wáng！”

“那nà是shì当dāng然rán了le” 乌wū龟guī说shuō道dào。

可kě是shì，正zhèng当dāng它tā愚yú蠢chǔn地de开kāi口kǒu说shuō话huà时shí，它tā松sōng开kāi了le自zì己jǐ口kǒu中zhōng的de棍gùn子zi，就jiù从cóng高gāo空kōng坠zhuì落luò到dào地dì面miàn，在zài一yī块kuài石shí头tou上shàng摔shuāi了le个gè粉fěn碎suì。

寓yù意yì：愚yú蠢chǔn的de好hào奇qí心xīn和hé虚xū荣róng心xīn往wǎng往wǎng导dǎo致zhì不bú幸xìng。好hào奇qí害hài死sǐ猫māo。
