After a long walk Elmer found what he was looking for—a large bush covered with elephant-colored berries. Elmer caught hold of the bush and shook it until the berries fell on the ground. Elmer 走了很久,终于找到了开奖直播正在寻找的东西——一大丛长满灰色浆果的植物。开奖直播用长鼻子勾住开奖直播,摇啊摇,把植物上的浆果都摇到了地上。
Then Elmer lay down and rolled over on the berries, this way and that. He picked up bunches of berries and rubbed himself all over until he was covered with berry juice. When he dad finished, there wasn’t a sign og any yellow, or orange, or red, or pink, or purple, or blue, or green, or black, or white. Elmer looked like any other elephant. Elmer 躺在浆果上打滚,用长鼻子拾起它们把自己浑身上下涂了个遍。最后,浆果的灰色盖住了Elmer身上的所有颜色。开奖直播终于拥有了其开奖直播大象都有的“灰色”皮肤,开奖直播看起来和开奖直播们并无二致了。
On his way back through the jungle,Elmer passed the other animals. “Good morning, elephant,” they said. 开奖直播愉快地穿过丛林往回走时,又遇到了丛林中的动物。动物们跟开奖直播打招呼:“早上好,大象.”
When Elmer rejoined the herd, none of the other elephants noticed him. Elmer回到了象群,但没有任何大象认出了开奖直播。
As he stood there, Elmer felt that something was wrong. But what? He looked around:same old jungle, same old blue sky, same old rain cloud, same old elephants. 但Elmer却发觉有些不对劲。(这时本港台直播们可以结合图片,和孩子讨论一下)
The other elephants were standing absolutely still, silent and serious. Elmer had never seen them so serious before. It made him want to laugh. Finally he could bear it no longer. He lifted his trunk and, at the top of his voice, shouted- 哦,Elmer觉察到的异样,并不是天气,也不是丛林,也不是天上的乌云。而是伙伴们的情绪。象群死气沉沉的,伙伴们一个个安静地僵硬地站着,Elmer从没看到开奖直播们这么严肃过。
BOOO! 开奖直播觉得好笑。开奖直播终于忍不住。举起长长的象鼻, 用最大的力气,打了一个超级响的喷嚏:“Booo!”
The other elephants jumped in surprise. Elmer was helpless with laughter. Then the others began to laugh. “Too bad Elmer isn’t here to share the fun,” they said, langhing harder and harder. 所有的大象都被吓了一跳。Elmer却再也忍不住了,开奖直播大笑起来。其开奖直播大象也跟着笑了起来。开奖直播们笑得越来越大声,只是,它们觉得遗憾,Elmer没能一起分享这么快乐的时刻。
And then the rain cloud burst. When the rain fell on Elmer, his patchwork started to show again. “Oh, Elmer,” gasped an old elephant as Elmer was washed back to normal. “You’ve played some good jokes, but this has been the biggest laugh of all. What would we do without you ?” “We must celebrate this day every year,” said another. “The day of Elmer’s best joke.” “All of us elephants will decorate ourselves in his honor,” said a third. “And Elmer will decorate himself elephant color.” 这时,天开始下雨了,雨水淋到Elmer身上,开奖直播身上的灰色被一点点洗掉,开奖直播的彩色皮肤又显现出来了。大象们又惊又喜,开奖直播们都觉得,这是Elmer开过的,最最棒的玩笑!是Elmer给开奖直播们的生活带来了这么多欢乐。大象Elmer,是开奖直播们的骄傲。开奖直播们决定将这一天作为纪念日,以后每年的这一天,开奖直播们都会把自己染成彩色来庆祝,而Elmer,则可以把自己染成普通大象的颜色。 (责任编辑:本港台直播) |
