Turtle and Mr. Leopard (I)

Turtle and Mr. Leopard (l) (based on an African tale) Long ago, Turtle got sick. He needed to go to the forest to find some plants. On his way, Turtle stopped to see if his neighbour, Mr. Leopard, could give him a ride on his back. But, Mr. Leopard was not home. His wife answered the door. Turtle said, " That is too bad. I was hoping l could ride on his back to the forest. " Upon hearing this, Mrs. Leopard was not happy with Turtle. When Mr. Leopard came home, Mrs. Leopard told him what had happened.

乌龟和豹先生(上)(根据一个非洲故事改编) 很久以前，乌龟病了。他需要去森林去找一些植物。在路上，乌龟停下来，想看看他的邻居豹先生能不能让他骑在背上。 但是，豹先生不在家。他的妻子开了门。乌龟说:“那太糟糕了。我希望我能骑在他背上去森林。 听到这些，豹太太对乌龟很不高兴。当豹先生回家的时候。豹太太把事情的经过告诉了他。

Mr. Leopard was really mad too. He ran directly to Turtle's house and said, " You think you can ride me like a horse. This will never happen! I am a leopard—fast and strong. ” Turtle said, " I did not say this. " But Leopard did not believe him. “ Let's go and see my wife. " he said. " She will prove that you did indeed say this. " Turtle was a cunning animal. He said, “ I am too sick to walk that far. But, if you give me a ride, I will surely go. " Leopard agreed. And so, they prepared to leave.

豹先生也非常生气。他直接跑到乌龟家说:“你以为你能像骑马一样骑我吗?这永远不会发生!我是豹——又快又壮。” 乌龟说:“我可没这么说。”但是豹不相信他。 “我们去看看我妻子吧。”他说。“她会证明你确实说过这话。” 乌龟是一种狡猾的动物。他说,“我病得走不了那么远。不过，如果你载我一程，我一定会去的。” 豹同意了。因此，他们准备离开。
