1.我猜所有的小读者们都见过猴子。有时候人们为他们穿上外套和长裤,于是它们看起来非常像小男孩。
2.猴子喜欢爬上爬下,他爬树能像猫一样快。它们也是了不起的模仿者,尝试做它们看见别人做过的事情。
3.据说它们最喜欢的是恶作剧。我不知道那是怎么样的,但是我知道它们似乎经常喜欢那么做。
4.我曾经听说过,一只猴子从摇篮里抱走一个婴儿,带着它跑到了屋顶上。婴儿的妈妈被吓坏了,试图接触到宝宝,可是却做不到。
5.然后她试图喊猴子下来,但它只是嘲笑她。噢,这个可怜的妈妈该怎么办呢!
6.她走开叫人来救她的宝宝,可是等她回来,她的宝宝已经被盖得好好的,在摇篮里睡着了!猴子在房间里跳来跳去,好像他认为自己做了聪明的事情。
7.不久以后,这只猴子看见一些男孩走进一座校舍。我想看看那里发生些什么事情,它对自己说,我想我该进去看看。他走进去,像男孩们一样,找了个座位坐了下来。
8.当他们拿起课本的时候,它也拿起了一本,一边想,毫无疑问,这是游戏的一部分。它开始咧嘴笑,吱吱叫。
9.很快孩子们开始大笑,而这只猴子想,毫无疑问,这是游戏的一部分。它咧嘴笑,吱吱叫。
10.然后有个男孩向它扔了些东西,猴子把它扔了回去。接着其中一个男孩拉它的尾巴,猴子还以颜色,拉扯那个男孩的头发,直到他尖叫着喊救命为止。
11.就在这个时候,老师进来并把猴子带走了。有些男孩呼喊说,打他!有些则喊,杀了他!
12.噢,不,老师说,它只是做了它看见你们做的事情。如果你们给它做个好榜样,他会表现得和你们当中最好的人一样好。
13.这是真的。如果你睁大眼睛看清楚的话,你会看到,小孩子们的行为,和他们看到的大人们的举动十分相似。
HOW TO BE HAPPY
怎样才能快乐
1.Do you know Grace Clark?She lives next door to our house.Every one that knows Grace,loves her.
2.I will tell you a story about her,and then you will know why everybody loves her,and perhaps find out how to make everybody love you.
3.Her father took her into the big tent to see the great showof elephants and wild beasts that came into town last week.
4.There she saw the lion and the tiger and the monkey andever so many other wild animals.
5.She fed the elephant with cakes,which pleased him so much that he took her up with his great trunk,and put her on his back.
6.At first,Grace was a little frightened,but when the keeper told her why the elephant did it,she thought it was good sport.
7.When Grace came out of the tent,she stopped and began to count the poor children who stood listening to the music,and wishing that they had money,so they could go in and see the animals.
8.What are you doing?asked her father.-Thirty-nine,forty!said Grace.What now,my child?
9.Why,I was counting these children.There are just forty of them,and I wish I had enough money to take them all in.
10.Do you?Well,Graee,you know I told you I would buy that large three dollar picture for you tomorrow;now,if you would rather use the money some other way,here it is:do with it as you please.
11.O!may I,father?Then I will take the children in-if the man will let them go in.Do you think he will,father?
12.I do not know:you must ask him.I will,said the man,when Grace told him what she wanted.You are a good little girl.
13.He then took her by the hand,and led her to the children.Children,said he,this little girl has paid me three dollars to let you all go into the tent.What do you say to that!
14.O,thank you!thank you,miss!said the whole forty at once.What is her name?asked a little boy.It is Grace Clark,said the man.
15.Then,said the boy,Three cheers for Grace!And three such glad cheers as they did give!Grace smiled,and said-Thank you;you make me so happy.
16.O,it is you that make us happy,cried the children.And that,said Grace,is why I am so happy.
17.Now,children,form in line-girls ahead-and let us march into the tent,said the man.And as they went in the boys waved their old hats,and the girls kissed their hands to little Grace.
18.Grace thought she was never quite so happy before.Ofather!said she,I have made forty poor little children happy allat once!and tears stood in the dear little girl‘s eyes.
19.Her father kissed her,and then they walked home together.What he and mamma said that night I do not know,but next morning a beautiful picture hung in Grace’s room,with these words on it-20.Those who try to make others happy will be happythemselves.

8.你在做什么?她的爸爸问。--三十九,四十!格蕾丝说。这是怎么了,我的孩子?
9.啊,我在数这些孩子。他们只有四十个,我但愿我有足够的钱把他们全都带进去。
10.是吗?嗯,格蕾丝,你知道,我告诉过你明天会给你买那幅三美元的画,现在,如果你情愿把这笔钱用作其他用途,那么听着,按你喜欢的方式去处理吧。
11.噢,我可以吗,爸爸?那么我会带这些孩子们进去--如果那个人允许他们进去的话。你认为他会允许吗,爸爸?
12.我不知道,你得问他。当格蕾丝告诉那个人她的想法的时候,我愿意,那个人说,你是一个善良的小姑娘。
13.然后他牵着她的手,领着她走近那些孩子们,他说,这位小姑娘已经付给我三美元,为了让你们全都进去帐篷里。对此你们会说些什么?
