4、mething.2 The big nightAt last, the big night arrived. Everyone sat down and waited for the show to begin. Walrus sat in the front row. He was very excited.Fox came onto the ice and bowed. Everyone cheered.Then Fox began to skate. Fox skated forwards and backwards and sideways. She skated in perfect
5、 circles and figures of eight. She was elegant and amazing!Walrus watched and he loved what he saw. Fox made it all look so easy.Walrus was sure that if he really tried he could skate just like Fox.He couldnt stop himself. He just had to leap onto the ice and join in with Fox. “I can skate,” he crie
6、d. “Look at me!”But Walrus couldnt skate at all. He could only trip up and fall over.He bumped into Fox, and Fox went flat on her face. FLOMP!Fox was very upset. “Walrus has RUINED my act,” she wailed.Next, it was Polar Bears turn. He rolled out across the ice like a big, white snowball. Everyone cl
7、apped wildly.Then Polar Bear began to tumble. He did jumps and spins and somersaults, and stood on his head.Walrus watched and he loved what he saw. Polar Bear made it all look such fun. Walrus was sure that this time, if he really tried, he could tumble just like Polar Bear.All of a sudden, Walrus
8、just couldnt stop himself, and he leaped onto the ice.“I can tumble too,” he cried. “Look at me!”But Walrus couldnt tumble at all. He could only trip up and fall over. He tripped up Polar Bear, who came down with a WALLOP!Of course, Polar Bear was pretty angry. “Walrus has RUINED my act,” he wailed.
9、3 From bad to worseIt was Seals turn next. She gave Walrus a dont-you-dare stare, and then she started to sing:“O, how many heart rejoices when I see the Northern Lights.My ear is filled with voices sweetly singing in the night!”Walrus listened. What a beautiful song! Surely if he really tried, he c
10、ould sing as beautifully as Seal? Oh, dear. Walrus just couldnt stop himself again.“I know that song,” he cried. “I can sing it too!”He leaped up and started singing along with Seal.But Walrus couldnt sing! He sounded terrible. In fact, he sounded like a rusty old bucket.Seal stopped singing and bur
11、st into floods of tears.“Walrus has RUINED my song,” she wailed.Wale was last. He was pretty certain that Walrus could not ruin his act.Whale leaped high out of the water. Then he fell back with an enormous splash!Walrus watched. He wished that he could dive like that. His flippers began to twitch,
12、and his whiskers bristled with excitement. He tried and tried his very best not to join in.But then he had a brilliant idea.“Ill hold my nose when I dive,” he thought. “Then the water wont go up it!”Walrus just couldnt stop himself. He had to join in.“Everybody, look at me!” he cried, as he leaped i
13、nto the water. “I can dive too!”But just at that moment, Whale was getting ready to spout a big jet of water.WHOOSH!Whale spouted Walrus high into the air!Everyone was watching Walrus now. They clapped and cheered as Walrus landed back in the sea with a SPLOSH!Whale was furious. “You are a meddling,
14、 incompetent BUFFOON!” he roared. “You have RUINED my act. Now GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!”Whale was pretty scary when he was angry. Walrus turned tail and fled. He hid behind a snowdrift, feeling sad and very sorry.4 The show will go on!The show was over. Fox and Polar Bear and Seal and Whale stood in a l
15、ine, blushing and wishing that Walrus had not ruined everything.But everyone was cheering like mad.“Well done, Polar Bear, well done, Seal! Well done, Fox and Whale!” they shouted. “But wheres the clown? Why isnt he here? Wheres Walrus?”Behind is snowdrift, Walrus heard the cheers. Were they really
16、cheering for him, too?Yes! They were!He shuffled up to Fox and Polar Bear and Seal And Whale.“Im very sorry,” he said.“So you should be,” said Fox.“At least everyone thought you were part of the show,” said Polar Bear.“I suppose,” said Seal, “if Walrus was really part of our next show, it couldnt be
17、 any worse.”Walrus was overjoyed. “Me?” he cried. “Truly? Can I be part of the show? Can I join in next time?”“Yes,” said Whale. “It will bea lot safer that way. You can be the clown. As long as you do it properly.”Walrus practiced hard and became a very good clown indeed. Now he is so good that Fox
18、, Polar Bear, Seal and Whale are glad he is taking part.Sometimes, when Walrus is clowning around, they really just cant stop themselves. They have to join in too!2 第二篇Noisy Neighbours1 Mr FlinchIn a grim, grey house in a grim, grey town lived an unhappy man.It was not his grey house that made Mr Fl

The King was polishing his money, the Queen was choosing sun hats, and the maids were running around with piles of vests.“ Can I take Dobbin on
37、 holiday?”asked Princess Pip.“Im afraid there wont be room for a pony on the coach ,”said the Queen.“Oh, ”said the Princess Pip. “Can Amanda and Bert come,then?”“There s no room for snakes,”said the King, “not even pet ones.”Princess Pip scowled . “This holiday is going to be BORING,” she said.They

The coach got very
39、hot, and Princess Pip didnt feel very well.“Here we are,at last!” said the King happily.“But its a castle!” said Princess Pip. “Just like home.Its BORING.”2 Just like homeThere was a girl waiting by the castle door.“This is Daisy,”said the Queen. “She is going to look after you,Pip.”Daisy showed Pri
40、ncess Pip her room.“I dont want a four-poster bed!” said Princess Pip. “Thats just like home.”“You can sleep on my straw mattress , then,” said Daisy. “ Ill have the bed.”“Oh, all right.”said Princess Pip.That evening there was a banquet and it went on for hours.“More sprouts?”asked the King happily

44、isy went across the drawbridge and along the road.It was very hot.“Lets have a nice,cool snack,”said Daisy.So they got some fish sticks from a stall.“These arent bad,” admitted Princess Pip.“They taste best by the seaside,” said Daisy. “ Ill show you where the fish come from, if you like.”They went
45、down some stone steps to a place where the sea swished backwards and forwards and the ground looked as if it was made of gold.“Look in these pools,” said Daisy.The fish were hard to catch.”You could take your stockings off,” said Daisy, “and use them for nets.”It was nice without shoes and stockings
46、 on. It was even nicer once Princess Pip had taken off her coat and crown.The fish looked very cross at being caught， so Princess Pip let them go.“Its not too bad here,” said Princess Pip,at last. “ I want to stay here all the time.”“Lets build a sandcastle, then,” said Daisy.“A sand HOUSE,” said Pr
47、incess Pip.It was hard work, but they built a huge house, with a moat all around.Soon the sea came in and filled the moat.“Thats just right.”said Princess Pip. “Make it stop coming in now,Daisy.”But the sea kept on coming in. and soon it had washed their house FLAT.“ We built our house too close to
48、the sea,”said Daisy, sadly.“STUPID SEA!”shouted Princess Pip. “STUPID SEASIDE!
