从前，有个笨人想学滑旱冰，为此他兴奋不已。他把这个想法告诉了所有的朋友。可是朋友们都嘲笑他。镇上所有的人也都笑他，大家都说：“笨人根本不会滑旱冰。”笨人暗自忖思，如果试一试，自己肯定能成功的。他下定决心，决不放弃。 他感到非常孤独，好像世界上只剩下他自己一样。不过，他是一个勇敢的笨人，相信自己一定会成功的。虽然现在还没有旱冰鞋，他的决心并没有改变。他把自己的零用钱都存下来，5个月就攒了30美元。一天他路过一家旱冰鞋店，决定进去看看。他在店里转了一圈，发现鞋都很贵。他暗想，这些旱冰鞋都太漂亮了，我能买得起哪一双呢？让他难过的是，没有30美元以下的鞋。 他离开鞋店回家时，心里又难过，又生气。在路上，他看到一位老人身边有一双旱冰鞋.旁边的牌子上写着“出售”。他走过去问道：“这双鞋多少钱？”老人说：“20美元。”笨人一听，高兴极了，说：“我买了。”他付了钱，高兴地回家了。 一到家他就穿上了旱冰鞋，但他担心鞋不合适。他刚站起来就摔倒了。他紧紧抓住梳妆台，可是又摔倒了。他没有放弃，一次又一次地试着站起来。一二一二，他一步一步地滑行，终于不扶任何东西他也可以自由地走了。 他兴奋地滑给镇上所有的人看，滑给朋友看。过生日时，他又得到了一副护膝和一双新冰鞋。他高兴极了，朋友们也为他高兴。 The Pumpkin Who Wanted to Roller Blade There was a pumpkin who wanted to roller blade. He became overjoyed with the idea of roller blading! He told all his friends about his idea. All his friends did was laugh at him! Everyone in the town teased him and laughed at him. They would say, “Pumpkins can’t roller blade!” Deep in his heart，he felt that if he could just try，he would succeed. He made up his mind and never gave up! He was so lonely. He felt like he was all alone in the world! He was also a brave pumpkin, however，and he believed in himself. He was determined to roller blade, even though he had no roller blades. He saved his allowance for 5 months. He saved S 30. 00. One day he was walking past the Roller Blade Store and decided to go inside. He looked all around but everything was so expensive! What could he buy，he thought to himself. All the roller blades were so beautiful! He became sad，there were no roller blades for $ 30. 00. He left the store and walked home sad and mad! On his way home，he saw an old man with a pair of old roller blades. There was a sign that read “FOR SALE”. So the pumpkin went up to him and asked, “How much are the roller blades?” The old man said “$20. 00!” The pumpkin got all excited and said, “I’ll take them!” He paid the old man and went home. When he got home he put on the roller blades. He was afraid they might not fit. As soon as he stood up he fell! He tried holding onto the dresser but he fell again! He tried again and again. ONE, TWO, ONE，TWO, ONE STEP AT A TIME! Finally he did it without holding on.. He showed everyone in town. He showed his friends, and for his birthday he got pads and new roller blades! He was so happy, and his friends cheered for him! |
