The polite rabbit 有禮貌的兔子

　　Once upon a time, there was a humble rabbit who had very good manners. One day, he went to a farm to eat some vegetables. When his stomach was full he thought of leaving. Unexpectedly, he met a fox.

　　從前有一只兔子，它非常謙虛，待人處世也彬彬有禮。有一 天，它到農(nóng)民的菜園里去摘菜吃。當(dāng)它把肚子填得脹鼓鼓的，正 準(zhǔn)備離開時(shí)，遇到了一只狐貍。

　　The fox was on his way back to the forest. In fact, he tried to steal a chicken but in vain.

　　這只狐貍正要返回森林。原本它是想到農(nóng)家院子里去偷只雞 來，結(jié)果一無(wú)所獲。

　　He was starving! When the rabbit saw the fox, he was very frightened. He swiftly ran to a cave. Nevertheless, he felt that without permission he should not enter anyone's home.

　　它肚子餓極了。 兔子見到狐貍，心里一驚，連忙飛快地跑向一個(gè)山洞。它知道未經(jīng)許可不能隨便進(jìn)入別人的地方。

　　"I shall greet the cave before I go in, he thought. Thus, he said politely, "Dear Cave, how are You? May I come in?" The big snake inside was so pleased to hear the voice of the rabbit that he said, "

　　"應(yīng)當(dāng)先跟山洞打個(gè)招呼，" 兔子想。于是兔子彬彬有禮地說： 親愛的山洞，你好啊!我可以 進(jìn)來嗎?" 洞里的蛇聽出這是兔子的聲音，真是喜出望外，便回應(yīng)道：

　　Hurry up and come in" At once the rabbit knew who was inside the cave. "Excuse me, " he said, "I think my mother is waiting for me at home. Farewell now " The rabbit swiftly turned and dashed off.

　　歡迎!快進(jìn)來吧! 兔子一聽聲音就知道洞里是誰(shuí)了。 請(qǐng)?jiān)彛?兔子說， 我想我媽媽還在家里等我呢!再見!兔子一拔腿，便跑得不見蹤影。

　　The big snake curled himself up in the cave, feeling very frustrated He said. "Such a polite rabbit I shouldn ’ t have answered him at all "

　　蛇在洞里縮成一團(tuán)，懊喪地說：¨ 這只有禮貌的兔子，我真不該應(yīng)聲啊!¨
