All day a Deer walks around in the green fields.
一只鹿一整天都在绿色原野中漫步。
Deer: I walked all day. My legs hurt. I am so tired. I am also thirsty. I must find some water. Is there a pond nearby? Oh, there it is! See one.
鹿：我走了一整天，我的腿很疼。我很累，也很渴。我必须找点水喝。附近有池塘吗?哦，有!我看见了一个。
The Deer goes to the pond for a drink.
小鹿走到池塘边喝水。
Deer: The water looks cool and fresh. Hmm…I was right. It tastes very good. I will drink a little more.
鹿：这水看起来清凉又干净。嗯……没错，真好喝。我要再喝一点。
When the Deer leans down for a second drink, she sees another animal.
当小鹿第二次俯下身准备喝水的时候，她看见了另外一只动物。
Deer: Oh, hi! Nice to meet you. When did you get here? What’s your name?
鹿：哦，嗨!很高兴见到你。你什么时候来的?你叫什么名字?
There is no answer from the pond. The Deer sees herself in the water for the first time. She is very surprised.
池塘里的动物没有回答。这是小鹿第一次在水中看到自己，她感到非常惊讶。
Deer: I said, “Nice to meet you.” Wait a minute! Hey, it moves like me. It even talks like me. Then perhaps? Yes! It’s me!
鹿：我说，“很高兴见到你。”(寂静)等一等，嘿，她跟我一样动，她甚至连说话都跟我一样。难道?对，那就是我啊!
The Deer looks closely in the water.
小鹿走得更近些，往水里看。
Deer: I am beautiful! Look at my horns! They are so beautiful. They are the most beautiful horns in the world. I am blessed. Thank you, God.
鹿：我好漂亮啊!看看我的鹿角，它们多美啊!它们是这个世界上最美的鹿角。我真幸运，感谢上帝。
A few minutes latter, the Deer sees her legs.
过了几分钟，小鹿看到了她的腿。
Deer: What are those? Are those my legs? They can’t be. They are so skinny. They are so ugly. I hate my legs. Boo-hoo-hoo.
鹿：那些是什么?那是我的腿吗?不会吧，我的腿很瘦，还很丑。我讨厌我的腿。呜…呜…呜…
Turtle: Hello, Deer. What’s the matter? Why are you crying? Can I help you?
乌龟：你好，小鹿。你怎么了?你为什么哭?我能帮你吗?
Deer: Well, Turtle, just look at my legs.
鹿：哦，乌龟，你瞧瞧我的腿。
Turtle: What’s wrong with them?
乌龟：你的腿怎么了?
Deer: They are too skinny. My horns are so beautiful. But my legs are so ugly. I hate my legs. I want to hide them. What can I do?
鹿：它们太瘦了。我的角这么漂亮，而我的腿却这么丑。我讨厌我的腿，我想把它们藏起来。我该怎么办?
Turtle: Is that all? Your legs aren’t ugly. They are just a little thin. But at least they are long.
乌龟：你就是为这个哭吗?你的腿不丑。它们只是有点瘦，但至少很长。
Turtle: Look at my legs. They are so short. I can’t run. I can’t even walk fast. You should be grateful.
乌龟：瞧瞧我的腿，这么短，我不能跑，甚至都走不快，你应该心存感激才对呀。
Deer: But I don’t like my legs. How can I get some new ones? God is so unfair.
鹿：可是我不喜欢我的腿，怎样才能重新换四只腿呢?上帝太不公平了。
Turtle: Don’t be foolish. There is no way. Be happy with your legs. Someday they will help you.
乌龟：别傻了，没有办法的。试着接受你的腿吧，总有一天它们会帮你的。
Deer: What do you mean?
鹿：你这是什么意思?
Turtle: You’ll find out one day. Beauty is not everything. So cheer up.
乌龟：有一天你会发现美丽并不代表一切，所以开心点吧!
Deer: I don’t understand. But thanks anyway. See you again, Turtle.
鹿：我不明白，不过我还是要谢谢你。下次见，乌龟。
The Deer comes out of the pond and rests for a few minutes.

Lion: Look! A Deer! It looks tired. I can catch it easily. Today is my lucky day.

Deer: I better go now. A Lion might pass by.
鹿：我现在得走了。可能会有狮子经过这里。
Lion: Grrr… Come here, Deer. I want to eat you.
狮子：嗷…到这儿来，小鹿，我要吃掉你。
Deer: Oh no! A Lion! I better run away.
鹿：哦，不!狮子!我得快跑。
The Deer quickly runs away. She is very fast.
