《This Is Not My Hat》

This hat is not mine.

I juststole（偷） it.

I stole it from a big fish.

He wasasleep（正在睡覺） when I did it.

And heprobably（可能）won’twake up（醒來） for a long time.

Andeven if（即便）he does wake up，he probably won’tnotice（注意）that it’s gone.

And even if he does notice that it’s gone,he probably won’t know it was me who took it.

And even if he doesguess（猜 測）it was me,he won’t know where I am going.

But I'll tell you where I'm going.

I am going where theplants（水草）grow big and tall and close together.

It is very hard to see in there.

Nobody will ever find me.

There is someone who had saw me already（已經(jīng)）.

But he said he wouldn't tell anybody which way I went.

So I'm notworried（擔心）about it.

I know it'swrong（錯的） to steal a hat.

I know it does notbelong（屬于）to me.

But I'm going tohold（擁有）it.

It was too small for him anyway.

Itfits（適合）me just right.

And, look! I made it!

Where the plants arebig and close together（茂密）.

I know I was going to make it.

Nobody will ever find me.

同學們，你們看懂這個故事了嗎？

聰明的你一定會發(fā)現(xiàn)，一切情況和小魚想的正好相反。大魚醒了，意識到自己頭上的帽子沒有了。他很在乎，并且開始去找回帽子，途中向小螃蟹問路，知道了小魚的去處。大魚游進了茂密的水草中，拿到了自己的帽子，很開心地戴在了頭上。

可是，小魚去哪里了呢？

繪本沒有給出答案，留給同學們?nèi)ヂ?lián)想吧，歡迎來小象英文教室分享你們的想法喲！
