這是我非常喜愛(ài)的一個(gè)小故事.每次給小朋友讀這個(gè)故事,他們都喊著,”Again,again,please!” Aronld Nobe的故事言簡(jiǎn)意賅,人物刻劃得很深刻.Toad最后說(shuō)的那句話非常幽默.對(duì)做自己很想做的事,我想每個(gè)人都需要 WILL POWER意志力去告訴自己不能再做了.
Cookies
Arnold Nobel
Toad bakes some cookeies.
“These cookies smell very good,” said Toad.
He ate one.
“Toad ran to Frog’s house.
“Frog,Frog,” cried Toad,
“”taste these cookies that I have made.”
Frog ate one of the cookies.
“These are the best cookies I have ever eaten!” said Frog.
Frog and Toad ate many cookies,one after another.
“You know,Toad,” said Frog,with his mouth full,
“I think we should stop eating.We will soon be sick.”
“You are right,” said Toad.
“Let us eat one last cookie.” And then we will stop.”
Frog and Toad ate one last cookie.There were many cookies left in the bowl.
“Frog,” said Toad,
“l(fā)et us eat one very last cookie,and then we will stop.”
Frog and Toad ate one very last cookie.
“We must stop eating!” cried Toad as he ate another.
“Yes,” said Frog,reaching for a cookie,
“We need will power.”
“What is will power?” asked Toad.
“Will power is trying hard not to do something that you really want to do,” said Frog.
“You mean like trying not to eat all of these cookies?” asked Toad.
“Right,” said Frog.
Frog put the cookies in a box.
“There,” he said.
“Now we will not eat any more cookies.”
“But we can open the box,” said Toad.
“That is true.” said Frog.
Frog tied some string around the box.
“There,” he said.
“Now we will not eat any more cookies.”
“But we can cut the string and open the box,” said Toad.
“That is true,” said Frog.
Frog got a ladder.He put the box up on a high shelf.
“There,” said Frog.
“Now we will not eat any more cookies.”
“But we can climb the ladder and take the box down from the shelf and cut the string and open the box,” said Toad.
“That is true,” said Frog.
Frog climbed the ladder and took the box down from the shelf.He cut the string and opened the box.Frog took the box outside.He shouted in a loud voice,
“HEY BIRDS.HERE ARE COOKIES!’
Birds came from everywhere.They picked up all the cookies in their beaks and flew away.
“Now we have no more cookies to eat,” said Toad sadly.
“Not even one.”
“Yes,” said Frog.
“But we have lots and lots of will power.”
“You may keep it all,Frog,” said Toad.
“I am going home now to bake a cake”
