小學(xué)英語閱讀之第十五篇

　　There was a poor farmer in the country. He had a wife with a warm heart. The only things they had were a small piece of rice field, a farm and a horse.

　　One day, the farmer said to his wife. "We have to exchange the horse with other goods, tomorrow at the market." "Yes, we do. We don't need a horse because we have no chance of going far away." His wife agreed with him.

　　The next day, the farmer went to the market riding on horseback. He found a good cow while he was looking around the market. 'Mm. That cow will be good. We will be able to drink fresh milk everyday.' The farmer smiled and went close to the cow.

　　"If you want to sell this cow, how about exchanging your cow with my horse?" The owner of the cow took a look at the horse for a while. He felt strange because the horse was much more expensive than the cow. The horse looked healthy on the whole. The owner of the cow laughed loudly and agreed to the deal.

　　The farmer was very happy, too. 'Everything's okay. Now I have to go back to my house.' As he walked not a long distance with the cow, he saw a plump, soft-haired goat. Suddenly he wanted to have the goat. 'It would be much easier to raise a goat than a cow. And goat's milk tastes good.'

　　"Hey, why don't we exchange your goat with my cow?" The owner of the goat thought that was a golden opportunity, after he heard the farmer. "Of course, I'll be glad to." This was how the farmer exchanged his cow with the goat.

　　'Today is my lucky day.' The farmer even hummed to himself. After a while, he saw a young man holding a goose tightly with his two hands. 'That goose looks very healthy. Its hair is rich. It would be nice if we could raise such a great goose in our depression.' The farmer wanted to have the goose, so he exchanged his goat with the goose.

　　After a short time, he met a guy who was holding a cute hen in his arms. 'Cock-a-doodle-do, cock-a-doodle-do!' The hen's voice sounded very healthy. 'What a nice hen!' This time, he also wanted to have the hen. The farmer approached the guy and asked him to exchange his goose with the hen. Of course the owner of the hen agreed to his suggestion.

　　It was already late afternoon when he exchanged his animals several times. 'Oh, I am hungry! I am going to have lunch in a restaurant.' The farmer held his hen and headed to a restaurant. A young man was carrying a heavy bag on his shoulder in front of the restaurant.

　　"Look, young man. What's inside of that bag?" He looked at the bag and asked. "Oh, This? These are rotten aps. "The young man said.

　　'Rotten aps? We had only one ap from our ap trees last year. That's amazing that he has such a lot of aps. If we use those rotten aps as fertilizer, our trees will bear lots of aps, too.' The farmer exchanged his hen with the rotten aps.

　　Then, he went into the restaurant and had lunch. And he told his story how he happened to exchange one thing and another, and finally he got the rotten aps. An rich old man listened to the farmer's story and said, "You are such a hopeless fellow. If you go back to your house, your wife will be mad at you." "No way. My wife has never been angry at me." "All right, if your wife will not be angry about your story today, I will give you a package of gold coins."

　　After that, the farmer went back to his house with the old rich man. And he told his wife the whole story about how he came back with the rotten aps. Then, his wife said, "Oh, that's great. We will have as many aps as those rotten aps." The farmer's wife even smiled happily.

　　In the end, the old rich man had to give them a package of gold coins. Therefore the farmer became very rich.

　　爛蘋果和老婆

　　這個國家有一個貧窮的農(nóng)民。他有一個溫暖的妻子。他們僅有的東西是一小塊稻田、一個農(nóng)場和一匹馬。

　　一天，農(nóng)夫?qū)λ�的妻子說。我們必須把馬和其他貨物交換，明天在市場上。我們不需要馬，因為我們沒有機(jī)會去很遠(yuǎn)的地方。”他的妻子同意了。

　　第二天，農(nóng)夫騎著馬去了市場。他在市場上四處尋找時發(fā)現(xiàn)了一頭好牛。mm。那頭牛會好的。“我們每天都能喝到新鮮的牛奶。”農(nóng)夫笑著走近奶牛。

　　“如果你想賣掉這頭牛，把你的牛和我的馬換一下怎么樣？”牛的主人看了一會兒這匹馬。他覺得奇怪，因為馬比牛貴多了。這匹馬整體看來健康。奶牛的主人大聲笑著同意了這筆交易。

　　農(nóng)夫也很高興。一切都好。“現(xiàn)在我得回家了。”他走了不遠(yuǎn)的路，看見了一頭胖胖的山羊。突然，他想要山羊。養(yǎng)一只山羊要比養(yǎng)一只母牛容易得多。羊奶味道很好。

　　“嘿，為什么不把你的山羊和我的母牛換呢？”山羊的主人聽了農(nóng)夫的話后認(rèn)為這是一個千載難逢的好機(jī)會。當(dāng)然，我會很高興的。“這是農(nóng)夫用山羊交換母牛的方法。”。

　　“今天是我的幸運日。農(nóng)民自己哼哼著。過了一會兒，他看見一個年輕人用兩只手緊緊地抓著一只鵝。那只鵝看起來很健康。它的頭發(fā)很豐富。如果我們能在我們的蕭條中養(yǎng)大一只鵝，那就太好了。

　　過了一會兒，他遇到了一個抱著一只可愛母雞的家伙。喔喔喔，喔喔喔！”母雞的聲音聽起來很健康。多漂亮的母雞啊！這一次，他也想養(yǎng)母雞。農(nóng)夫走近那家伙，要他和母雞交換他的鵝。當(dāng)然母雞的主人同意了他的建議。

　　今天下午已經(jīng)很晚了，他把動物換了好幾次。哦，我餓了！“我要去一家餐館吃午飯。”農(nóng)夫抱著他的母雞，朝一家餐館走去。一個年輕人肩上扛著一個沉重的包在飯店前面。

　　“看，年輕人。那個包里面是什么？”他看了看袋子問。哦，這個？這些是爛蘋果。”年輕人說。

　　爛蘋果？去年我們從蘋果樹上只摘了一個蘋果。他有這么多蘋果，真令人驚奇。如果我們用那些腐爛的蘋果做肥料，我們的樹也會結(jié)很多蘋果。”農(nóng)夫把他的母雞和腐爛的蘋果交換了。

　　然后，他走進(jìn)餐廳吃了午飯。他講述了自己是如何碰巧交換一件又一件， 后他得到了腐爛的蘋果。一位富有的老人聽了農(nóng)夫的故事，說：“你真是個不可救藥的家伙。如果你回到家，你的妻子會生你的氣。我妻子從來沒有生我的氣。“好吧，如果你的妻子今天對你的故事不生氣的話，我會給你一包金幣。”

　　在那之后，農(nóng)夫和老富翁一起回了他的家。他告訴了他的妻子他是如何帶回腐爛的蘋果的。然后，他的妻子說：“哦，那太好了。我們會有和爛蘋果一樣多的蘋果。”農(nóng)夫的妻子甚至高興地笑了。
