The Cap-maker and the Monkeys
Long,long,ago,there was a man with the name Smith.He made a living on making caps.One day he went to sell his caps.He went through a forest.There were many monkeys in it.It was very hot and the man wanted to sit down for a rest.He came up to
a large tree,put his caps on the ground,took one of them and put it on his head.Then he laid down and soon fell asleep.
"Where are my caps?”cried Smith when he woke up.He looked up and saw many monkeys in the trees and each monkey had a cap on its head.
"Give me back my cap!"the man shouted at the monkeys.But the monkeys didn't understand him.They only laughed.The man got very angry,took off his own cap,threw it on the ground and cried,"If you want my caps,you may take this cap too!"
And what do you think?These monkeys did the same.Each one took off its cap and threw it on the ground.The man was very glad.He quickly picked up all his caps and went on his way.
做帽子的人和猴子
很久很久以前,有個(gè)叫史密斯的人,他以做帽子為生.一天,他去賣帽子經(jīng)過一片樹林.林子里有很多猴子.天氣很熱,史密斯想坐下來歇會兒.他走到一棵大樹下,把 帽子放到地上,并從里面拿了一個(gè)戴在頭上,然后躺下很快睡著了.
“我的帽子呢?”史密斯醒來后喊到.他抬頭一看,見樹上有很多只猴子,每只猴子頭上都戴著一頂帽子.
“把帽子還給我!”史密斯對猴子喊道.但猴子聽不懂他的話,只是笑.他很生氣,摘下自己的帽子扔到地上喊道：“如果你們想把我的帽子都要了,你們可以把這頂也拿去!”
你猜怎么樣?那些猴子也跟著做了,每只猴子都摘了帽子扔到地上.史密斯很高興,很快撿起所有帽子繼續(xù)趕路.
