语篇品读
One day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents (帐篷) and then rode off to a forest. They went to see how the trees were growing.
In the afternoon it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp (营地), and the other went to his house. But all was white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?
Bob had an idea. Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometres in such cold weather!
It was getting late. They rode on and on. At last the horses stopped. Bob looked around. What was that under the tree? It was one of their tents!
有一天,鲍勃带着他的两个朋友进了山里。 他们搭起帐篷,然后骑马前往森林。 他们想去看看树是怎么长的。
下午开始下雪了。雪越来越大。很快鲍勃就找不到路了。鲍勃知道有两条路。一条路到营地,另一条到他家。 但到处都是白色的雪。一切都一样。他怎么能把他的朋友带回营地?
鲍勃有个主意。 让马把他们带回来! 但是,如果马走上通往他家的路会发生什么? 在如此寒冷的天气里,那将是三十五公里的旅行!
已经很晚了。他们骑啊骑啊。最后马停了下来。鲍勃环顾四周。树下是什么?那是他们的一个帐篷!
