The Coward's Lesson Tom was easily frightened. He enlisted in the army because he thought the military would teach him courage. And although he needed courage, he never imagined how he would learn it. During a march across a tract of wilderness to practice guerilla warfare near his country's frontier. Tom strayed from his squad. He had stopped to gaze at a splendid view of a lush valley. When he turned around, his squad was gone. He searched for them, but because their outfits had camouflage, he couldn't find them. It was getting dark, and Tom grew weary. All he had was a knife and his handbook He made camp for the night. It was cold, and the ground was hard. He wished he had his cot and a blanket. Instead, he made a fire, wrapped himself tightly in his jacket, and fell asleep. A loud noise roused him from his sleep. "What was that?" he wondered. Then he noticed it. An animal of substantial size had left a print from its paw in the dirt. He sat closer to the fire and looked into the darkness. He imagined a large beast jumping from the gloom and attacking him. He shook with fear. Tom contemplated many different plans. He was hesitant to act. He decided to stay by the fire, but during his vigil, he heard more noises. He couldn't contend with his fear any longer. He knew what he had to do. He made a torch and followed the prints. He heard a twig snap very close ahead, but he bravely went on. Seconds later, he discovered what had scared him. It was only a sheep. Tom went back to his camp and slept. In the morning, he found his squad. He had finally learned courage. He learned that he had to confront his fear in order to conquer it.

懦夫的教训汤姆很容易受到惊吓。 他应征入伍，因为他认为军队会教会他勇气。 虽然他需要勇气，但他从未想过如何才能学会勇气。 在一次穿越旷野的行军中，在他的国家边境附近练习游击战。 汤姆偏离了他的小队。 他停下来凝视着一个郁郁葱葱的山谷的壮丽景色。 当他转身时，他的小队已经走了。 他四处寻找，但由于他们的服装上有迷彩，他找不到他们。 天渐渐黑了，汤姆感到很累。 他只带了一把刀和一本手册。 天气很冷，地面很硬。 他希望自己有一张小床和一条毯子。 相反，他生了一堆火，把自己紧紧地裹在夹克里，睡着了。 一声巨响把他从睡梦中惊醒。 “那是什么？” 然后他注意到了。一只体型庞大的动物在泥土上留下了爪印。 他坐在离火更近的地方，望着黑暗。 他想象着一只大野兽从黑暗中跳出来攻击他。 他吓得发抖。汤姆考虑了许多不同的计划。 他犹豫着要不要采取行动。他决定留在火旁，但在他守夜的时候，他听到了更多的声音。 他再也无法与恐惧抗争了。 他知道自己该做什么。 他做了个手电筒，循着指纹走。 他听到前面很近的地方有一根小树枝折断了，但他勇敢地继续往前走。 几秒钟后，他发现是什么让他害怕了。 那只是一只羊。汤姆回到他的营地睡觉。 早上，他找到了他的小队。 他终于学会了勇气。 他认识到，要战胜恐惧，就必须面对它。
