A tiger is hungry. He is looking for food. He sees a frog in front of him.
“Ha, ha! A frog! My dinner!”So he rushes at the frog.
Behind the tiger, there is a tortoise . The little tortoise sees it; he bites the tiger's tail.
“Ouch!”Cries the tiger and he looks back . The frog hears the voice and jumps into water.
“Thank you, little tortoise,”says the frog.
But the tiger is very angry.“Bother it! I'll throw you to the sky!”
“Thank you, I like flying in the sky,”says the tortoise.
The tiger stops,“I will throw you into the river.”
“Oh, no! I can't swim; I will die if you throw me into the water .”
The tiger throws the tortoise into the water quickly.
“Thank you, Mr. Tiger. Bye-bye.”The tortoise and the frog swim away together.

聪明的乌龟
一只老虎饥肠辘辘，正在寻找食物。他看见一只青蛙在他前面。
“哈哈！一只青蛙，我有晚餐啦！”于是，他向青蛙猛扑过去。
老虎后面有一只乌龟。小乌龟看见了，咬了一口老虎的尾巴。
“哎哟！”老虎疼得大叫，回头看了看。青蛙听见了老虎的叫声，迅速跳进水里。
“谢谢你，小乌龟。”青蛙说。
老虎大发雷霆，吼道：“讨厌！我要把你扔到天上去。”
“谢谢你，我喜欢在天空飞翔。”乌龟说。
老虎顿了顿：“那我就把你扔进水里去。”
“哦，不！我不会游泳，如果你把我扔进水里，我会淹死的。”
老虎立刻把乌龟扔入水里。
“谢谢你，老虎先生，再见！”乌龟和青蛙一起游走了。
