背誦為王第一冊第3課:The Toad and the Frog “癩蛤蟆和青蛙”
A toad saw a frog near the road. He was a fat old frog. He sat and moaned and groaned. The toad said, "Do not moan and groan, Mr. Frog. Hop like me. Hop down the road." So the frog and the toad went down the road to a big oak tree. "I am home," said the toad. "Come in and I will make tea." But Mr. Frog said, in a deep croak, "I must not roam far from home. I will be off to my home near the pond."
一只癩蛤蟆在路邊看到一只青蛙。那是只又胖又老的青蛙。他坐在那里呻吟嘆息著。 癩蛤蟆說:“青蛙先生,不要呻吟嘆息了。像我一樣跳吧。沿著這條路跳?!? 所以青蛙和癩蛤蟆一起沿著小路跳到一棵大橡樹下。 “我到家了,”癩蛤蟆說,“進來吧,我來泡茶?!? 但青蛙用低沉的聲音說:“我不能在離家遠的地方閑逛,我要回我在池塘邊上的家。”
