A Little Horse Crossing the River

There are an old horse and a little horse on a farm. One day the old horse asks the little horse to send the wheat to the mill. The little horse is very happy. He carries the wheat and runs toward the mill. But there is a river in front of the little horse. He stops and does not know what to do next. Just then Aunt Cow is passing by.

農場裏有一隻老馬和一隻小馬，一天老馬叫小馬把麥子送到磨房。小馬很開心，扛起了小麥就跑向了磨房。可有一條河擋住了去路，他停了下來不知如何是好，正在這時，奶牛大嬸過來了。

The little horse asks, “Aunt Cow, please tell me. Can I cross the river ”

小馬問：“奶牛大嬸，請告訴我，我能趟過這條河嗎?”

Aunt Cow answers, “It is not deep, you can cross it.”

奶牛大嬸答道：“不深，你能過去。”

When the little horse begins to cross the river, a little squirrel shouts at him, “Little horse, don't cross it, you will be drowned. Yesterday one of my friends was drowned in this river.”

正當小馬開始過河時，一隻小松鼠朝他大喊：“小馬，不要過河，你會淹死的。昨天我的一位朋友就在這河淹死了。”

The little horse is very afraid. Finally he decides to go home and ask his mother.

小馬非常害怕，最後決定回家問問媽媽。

The old horse asks, “Why do you take the wheat back What's wrong with you My child.”

老馬問：“你爲什麼又把小麥扛回來了?你怎麼了?我的孩子。”

The little horse answers sadly, “There is a river in front of me. Aunt Cow said it was not deep. But the little squirrel said it was deep. What shall I do ?”

小松鼠委屈地回答：“有一條河擋住我的去路。奶牛大嬸說它不深，可小松鼠說它深。我該聽誰的呀?”

The old horse says, “My child, you should try to cross the river by yourself. If you do not try, how do you know the river is deep or not ”

老馬說：“孩子，你應該自己試試，如果不試，你怎麼知道河的深淺?”

The little horse carries the wheat and returns to the riverside. At last, he succeeds in crossing the river. Now, He knows how deep the river is.

小馬馱着小麥又回到了河邊。最後，他成功地渡過了河。他終於知道河有多深!
