Story Time with Teacher Vanessa

Hoggy Went -A- Courtin'

从前，有个孩子在山上放羊。他看到很多人在山下干活儿，想捉弄一下别人，就故意大声喊叫:“狼来了！狼来了！”山下的人听到喊叫声，立刻跑上山来。可是，山上根本没有狼，是放羊的孩子在撒谎，人们被他欺骗了。

过了几天，人们又听见这个孩子在山上喊:“狼来了！狼来了！”大家又跑到山上去，结果还是没有狼，人们又被撒谎的孩子欺骗了。

又过了几天，狼真的来了。这个孩子又喊:“狼来了！狼来了！狼真的来了！”山下的人们听到喊声，再也没有人理他了。结果他的许多羊都被狼吃了。

CHINESE STORY中文故事

狼来了

CHISTES MEXICANOS

DOS GRANDES BROMISTAS MEXICANOS...

In this story, a deer named Macey plans a secret party with her sister. But what happens when two big cats try to stop her? This is Part 3 of 5.  

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Two huge, strong and dirty cats appear out of nowhere: one proud lion and one sneaky cheetah. They creep forward, saliva dripping from the sides of their mouths. 

The lion says, “Little deer, I don’t usually eat noodles, but I might have to today.” 

The cheetah laughs and laughs and laughs. She has never heard anything so funny in her entire life. 

Macey looks confused, but then notices she has noodles stuck on her horns. She feels embarrassed and angry at the same time. 

“If you must know, there were no chopsticks…” says Macey. 

The cheetah says, still laughing, “Did you get it, little dear? We don’t eat noodles; we’re carnivores… but you have noodles on your head and we’re going to eat you.” 

The lion frowns and looks at the cheetah. “Yes, thank you, Cheetah... That was my point…” 

Macey confidently steps forward and prepares to fight. She looks like a kung-fu master. She says, “I’m not scared of you. You will never eat me… or my noodles!” 

Macey then jumps high into the air and does a flying kick! 

Hiiiiiyyyaaaaaa! 

Macey kicks the lion right in his big face. Saliva explodes from his mouth. The lion hits the floor HARD. The cheetah is so scared that she crouches down and starts purring. The cheetah doesn’t want to get hurt. 

The lion is very weak. He gets up and tries to speak, but he’s in so much pain. He says, “ahh…I… my face… you’re so… powerful… Please don’t hurt me anymore…” 

Macey has fire in her eyes. She is tired of big cats trying to eat her. 

“You carnivores think you’re so strong,” says Macey, looking like she will crush them. “But you’re not! Now get out of here!” 

The two cats, not so big anymore, run away. 

With the setting sun behind her, Macey is standing strong, looking like a hero.

HO & HUNCHHA

Tengo notas escritas en papel de ideas, recuerdos, inspiraciones... apuntes por todos lados. En la puerta de la nevera, en el teléfono, entre los libros, en mi mesa de trabajo, en diarios personales y no tan personales, en mi carpeta de poemas... ¡¡¡Por todos lados!!! 

Notas sueltas, igual que las notas que farandulean por el aire cuando un director de orquesta sinfónica alza sus batutas y las notas de los instrumentos surcan el aire sin control.

IELTS: From Zero to Hero 🚀 — Episode 4: Mastering Speaking Part 2 (The Long Turn)

cí mǔ shǒu zhōng xiàn ， yóu zǐ shēn shàng yī 。
慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
lín xíng mì mì féng ， yì kǒng chí chí guī 。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
shéi yán cùn cǎo xīn ， bào dé sān chūn huī 。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。
【注释】
1．游子：在古时候泛指远游旅居的人。
2．意恐：担心。
3．寸草心：寸草，比喻子女；心，指小草的茎干，也暗指子女的心意。
4．三春晖：春天灿烂的阳光，此处比喻慈母的恩情。
【译文】
慈爱的母亲用手中的针线，为外出远行的儿子缝制衣裳。
在他临行之前，一针一线密密地缝制着，只因为担心儿子迟迟不能归来。
有谁敢说，子女像小草一样微弱的孝心，
可以报答慈母像春晖一样温暖的恩情呢？
