英汉小故事集：丽莎的愿望

幼儿英文图书： Lisa's wishes "Lisa! We need to leave," shouted Mom. "I'm coming," said Lisa. "I just finished my picture. Look at my picture," shouted Lisa. "Oh, that's very nice," said Mom. "Is that you on the horse?" "No，" answered Lisa sadly. "I don't know how to ride a horse. This is the Princess Sunapee and the Eagle King," said Lisa. "It is a nice picture," said the grandmother. "It's also time to teach her to ride." "Mom, Lisa is too young to ride a horse," said Mom to Grandma. "Wow, what a day!" said Dad. "I'm exhausted. I'm tired too," said Frank. "I guess it must be all the swimming and baseball." "I can't wait tv go to bed so I can put my eagle feather under my pillow," said Lisa. "I know it'll work just as good as a tooth." '"Having a missing tooth feels strange，" said Lisa. "You'll get used to it," said Frank. "And the big ones in back feel the strangest." '"I'll loose those too! Wow, that's a lot of wishes." "Ah, don't believe in those wishes too much," said Frank. "My wishes hardly ever came true. Instead, you'll just find a dollar under your pillow in the morning." "I don't believe you," whined Lisa. "You'll see," said Frank smugly. "The tooth fairy is getting old. She can't grant as many wishes as she used to. She'll give you a dollar instead. If you find a dollar under your pillow tomorrow, then you know that your wish isn't going to come true." Lisa didn't believe her brother, because she knew that she was making a wish to the feather fairy and not the tooth fairy. Lisa carefully put the feather under the pillow of the bottom bunk. "Did you brush your teeth?" asked Mom. "Yes, Mom, we both did," said Lisa. "Mom, Frank said that the tooth fairy is too old to grant wishes anymore. Is that true, Mom?" asked Lisa. "No, but the tooth fairy can't grant all wishes. Her magic is only as big as your tooth. If your wish is too big for her magic, she sometimes just leaves a dollar," answered Mom. "Oh," said Lisa smiling. "I thought Frank was lying about the dollar, but I guess his wishes were just too big for the tooth fairy." "Yes, now go to sleep," said Mom. Before Lisa went to sleep,she wished as hard as she could. "Please, feather fairy let me learn how to ride a horse tomorrow." "Get up, Sleepy Head," said Frank. "Did the feather fairy grant you your wish or did she just lease you a dollar?" continued Frank. "No! Frank!" shouted Lisa. "See," said Frank holding up the dollar. "The tooth fairy has no magic." "What's the matter? Did the tooth fairy grant you your wish?" asked Grandma. "No, not really. I got a dollar instead. Frank says that's because the tooth fairy is old and her magical powers are weak. My mother said it was because my wish was too big, but my wish wasn't too big. I guess Frank was right," answered Lisa. "Hmm," said the grandmother thinking about the situation. "Being pretty old myself, I don't think the tooth fairy's magic is failing. If your wish isn't too big, it might come true." "But why did I get a dollar instead of my wish?" asked Lisa hopefully. "Hmm, that's a little more difficult to answer," said Grandma. "Well," replied Grandma. "First, I think it was the tooth fairy that left the dollar. She came because she knew your tooth came out, but she found no tooth under your pillow. She can't grant you a wish without a tooth. Second, because the feather is gone, I think the feather fairy granted your wish." "But my wish hasn't come true," whined Lisa. "Wishes don't just come true like that," said Grandma. "Wishes happen only when they are supposed to happen." Lisa began eating her cereal. It made sense she thought. Small magic works only when it can happen naturally. "Where's Mom?" asked Lisa. "she's in the barn," answered Grandma. "What are you looking at, Mom?" asked Lisa curiously. "Oh!" said Mom. "Come and sit beside me. I'd like to show you a few things. This is me when I was your age." "You!" shouted Lisa. "You rode in a horse competition?" "Yes, I did. I rode and I won," said Mom fondly. "Wow, you were really lucky," said Lisa. "Lucky?" replied Mom. "Yeah, lucky to be able to ride horses everyday," answered Lisa enviously. "Oh," said Mom. "Yes, I was lucky to be able to ride horses everyday and to have such a great riding instructor." "Who taught you how to ride?" asked Lisa. "My mother," she answered. "Now grab that bridle and that saddle, and I'll show you how to ride," she ordered. "Now I'm lucky," said Lisa. "Lucky?" asked Mom. "Yeah, because now I'm learning how to ride from my mother, and I know that wishes can come true," said happily. "Yes, Lisa, wishes can came true." 丽莎的愿望 “丽莎！我们要离开了，”妈妈喊道。 “我来了，”丽莎说。 “我刚刚画完了我的图片，看看我的图片，”丽莎喊道。 “哦，画得很不错的，”妈妈说。 “那是你骑在马上吗？” “不，”丽莎悲伤富人回答。 “我不知道怎么骑马。这是公主苏纳皮和鹰王，”丽莎说。 “这是一张不错的图片，”奶奶说。 “是时候教她骑马了。” “妈妈，丽莎还太小了，不适合骑马，”妈妈对奶奶说。 “哇，多好的一天！”爸爸说。 “我累极了。我已经很累了，”弗兰克说。 “我想你一定是玩得太多游泳和棒球了。” “我等不及上床睡觉了，因此我可以把我的鹰羽毛放在枕头下，”丽莎说。 “我知道它一定会像一颗牙的作用一样。” “有一颗缺牙觉得很奇怪，”丽莎说。 “你会习惯的，”弗兰克说。 “然后长回一颗更大的牙齿时更觉得奇怪。” “我也会失去这些牙齿的！哇，这就会有很多的愿望了。” “啊，不要过于相信这些愿望，”弗兰克说。 “我的愿望难以实现。 作为补偿，你只是在早上在你的枕头下找到一美元。” “我不相信你说的，”丽莎发着牢骚。 “你会看到，”得意地弗兰克说。 “牙仙老了。 她不能实现太多别人对她许的愿望。 她会给你一块钱代替。 如果您明天在你的枕头下发现了一块钱，那么你就知道你的愿望不会成真了。” 丽莎不相信她的哥哥，因为她知道，她是对羽毛仙女许的愿望而不是牙仙。 丽莎小心翼翼地把羽毛放在枕头下。 “你有没有刷牙？”妈妈问。 “是的，妈妈，我们都刷了，”丽莎说。 “妈妈，弗兰克说，牙仙是太老了，没有能力实现愿望了。妈妈，这是真的吗？”丽莎问。 “不是的，但牙仙不能实现所有的愿望。她的魔力只是像你的牙齿一样大。 如果你的愿望大过她的魔力，她有时只是留下一美元。”妈妈回答。 “哦，”丽莎微笑着说。 “我想弗兰克那里有一美元， 我猜他的愿望对牙仙来说太大了。” “是的，现在去睡觉吧，”妈妈说。 丽莎去睡觉之前，她很诚心的许下了愿望。 “拜托，羽毛仙女，让我明天学习如何骑马吧。” “起床了，睡过头了，”弗兰克说。 “羽毛仙女是实现您的愿望呢还是她只给你一美元？”弗兰克继续说。 “不知道！弗兰克！”丽莎喊道。 “瞧，”弗兰克举起一美元。 “牙仙没有魔法了。” “怎么回事？牙仙授予你的愿望了吗？”奶奶问。 “不，不是真的。我只是得到美元代替。 弗兰克说这是因为牙仙太老了，她的魔法变弱了。 妈妈说，那是因为我的愿望太大了，但我的愿望不大。 我想弗兰克是正确的。”丽莎回答说。 “嗯，”祖母想了想有关的事情。 “对于上年纪的我，我不认牙仙的魔法会消失。 如果你的愿望补大，它可能会成真的。” “但是，我为什么会得到一美元，而不是我的愿望呢？”丽莎满含希望的问。 “嗯，这个有点难以回答，”奶奶说。 “嗯，”奶奶回答说。 “首先，我认为它是牙齿仙女留下的美元。 她来了因为她知道你的牙齿掉出来了，但她在你的枕头下发现牙齿。 她无法给予你一个没有牙齿的愿望。 然后，由于羽毛掉了，我觉得羽毛仙女会赐给你愿望。” “但我的愿望没有实现，”丽莎嘀咕， “愿望不会随便就实现，”奶奶说。 “愿望在只有当它应该发生的时候才会实现。” 丽莎开始吃她的麦片。她认为奶奶说的挺有道理。 小魔术只能自然发生。 “妈妈在哪里？”丽莎问。 “她在谷仓，”奶奶回答说。 “你在找什么，妈妈？”丽莎好奇地问。 “哦！”妈妈说。 “来吧，坐在我旁边，我想告诉你一些事情。 这是我在你的这个年龄时候的照片。” “你！”喊丽莎。 “你在骑马比赛？” “是的，我在比赛。我骑马赢了，”妈妈深情地说。 “哇，你真是太幸运了，”丽莎说。 “幸运吗？”妈妈回答。 “是啊，幸运的是能够每天骑马，”丽莎羡慕的回答。 “哦，”妈妈说。“是的，我很幸运，能够每天骑马和有一个伟大的骑马教练。” “谁教你骑马的？”丽莎问。 “我的母亲，”她回答。 “现在抓住缰绳和鞍，我会告诉你如何骑马，”她命令道。 “现在我很幸运，”丽莎说。 “幸运？”妈妈问。 “是啊，因为现在我正在跟我的妈妈学习如何骑马， 而我知道那个愿望可以成真，”丽莎高兴地说。 “是的，丽莎，愿望可以成真。” 这些小故事能更好的激起小朋友的英语学习热情，兴趣就这里培养吧！ 参考资料：幼儿英语网：www.yeyyw.com
