初级英语口语教程:Three Wishes

作者:stephen    文章来源:方向标英语网    点击数:    更新时间:2009-4-16 【我来说两句


    One day in the field he showed me the way the breeze made the trees move. The rustling of the leaves made a sound that frightened a nearby bird. It flew away.
    We watched the bird drop an acorn.
    "The bird , " he said , "cari make a seed move. From that seed the oak can grow fifty feet tall. It will be a friend to those who want one. "


    I always knew that trees were there, but I never knew they were real like me.
    One Sunday I was angry. When my uncle came , I said : "I don't have anything. I wish I had something. "
    "You have everything worth having," he said. "And I will give you even more. I will give some secrets of the Universe. Do you believe me?"
    "Yes," I said, wanting to believe him.


    He gave me three small seeds.
    "Put each seed into a small box filled with dirt. Then care for them. Talk to them if you wish. They will grow with you. "
    Now they are in larger boxes. One of t.he plants has grown up to my knee. I sometimes wonder what else it is up to.


    Another time we were walking in the field when we saw two birds on a telephone line. They seemed so peaceful. Then suddenly they flew away. My uncle just laughed.
    "See," he said."Someone said something they didn't like.& careful what you tell the birds."
One night I passed by the office of the orphanage. A man I don't iike very much was on the phone. He was angry and loud.


    When he'left, I went into the office and picked up the phone. I heard the funniest sound.
    "Listen," I said. "Listen, liirds. Come on back, never mind what he says. We like you. "
    One day-Unele did not come: I waited and waited but he did not come. The man I don't like at the orphanage said Uncle was sick.


    "May I go and see him?" I asked.
    "No," he said. "He may be contagious. "
    "May I call him?"
    "No, " he said. "I'll call him for you. "
    "Don't do that," I said.
    "Why not?" .
    "You'll make the birds fly away. "
    I sneaked into the office one night and called Uncle.
    "Are you all right?" I asked.
    "Yes, but I must go away. "
    "Why?"
    "To make room for something else. "
    "Will you come back?"
    "I will help you remember me, if you want me to. "
    "I do. . . . Ido. . . ."
    When I went to bed at night, I would try to imagine that he was there. He was harder and harder to see. One night, he was not there at all. There was only a grcen ficld.


    I went back to our field. It was raining. T'he sky was dark, the way I was inside. I looked for Uricle everywhere. I called his name.
    I was angry for a while. I said some things out loud that I shouldn't have said. Two birds flew out of the trec.I made them get wet.
    On the way back, I saw something that was only an inch or two tall. It was where that hird dropped the acorn. I didn't tell anybody, but I knew.
    Someday Uncle will be fifty feet tall.
