朋友们你们好！今天的零食是一个故事，叫做 “小猫种鱼”。
听起来有点儿怪怪的，对吧？你们是不是很好奇呢？我们一起边吃边学吧！

编著：张丽萍

从前有一只小懒猫，他很喜欢吃鱼，但是他不喜欢和妈妈一起去钓鱼。
小猫对妈妈说：“钓鱼太累了，要是不用钓鱼也能有很多很多的鱼就好了”。

小猫经常去附近的农场玩儿。
春天的时候，小猫看见农民把花生种进地里。秋天的时候，农民收了很多花生。
春天的时候，小猫看见农民把玉米种进地里。秋天的时候，农民收了很多玉米。
春天的时候，小猫看见农民把土豆种进地里。秋天的时候，农民收了很多很多的土豆。

小猫想：要是秋天我也能收到好多好多的鱼就好了，我就不用去钓鱼了。
于是，小猫找了一些小鱼，小心地把小鱼种进地里。
小猫等啊等，一个月，两个月，三个月过去了，小猫想：秋天的时候，我一定会收到很多很多的鱼。

故事到这儿就结束了！你们觉得，秋天的时候，  小猫会有很多鱼吗？
