Small red fish

Once upon a time, there was a fox who always thought he had many talents. One day, he met a cat. The fox asked the cat: "You have lived for so many years. What skills have you learned?" The cat felt ashamed and said, "There is only one. It is to climb the tree as soon as possible after encountering danger." The fox said to the cat, "You have only one skill. I really don't know what you do in this world. I tell you, I have a thousand skills, which are like a bag, once opened, tiger and lion are no match for me." The cat admired him and said, "Mr. Fox, can you teach me a skill?" The fox said in a mocking tone, "How can you expect me to teach you a skill?" Just then the hunter came, with a dog. The cat was so frightened that he jumped up into the tree and cried, "Mr. Fox, Mr. Fox, open your bag which has a thousand abilities!" But, in fact, the fox did not know that the hunter came and said: "Cowardly cat, how can you jump up the tree now?" The cat said, "The hunter is coming. Open your bag." Then the fox knew that the hunter was coming. But it was too late. The hunter's dog bit the fox by the neck. The hunter shot the fox with his gun, and the fox died. The cat finally sighed and said, "You have a thousand abilities, but you died, and I have only one ability and ran away."

Once upon a time, a little horse was going to his friend Little Elephant's house to play. He saw a river not far away. There was a bridge over the river. The pony ran over and saw that it had been half washed away by yesterday's rain. Later, the colt saw the bird. The colt asked the bird, "How can I get across?" "You can fly there," said the bird. "But I have no wings," thought the pony. "I cannot fly." Then the pony sees Mr. Crocodile. The pony asks Mr. Crocodile, "How can I cross the river?" "You can swim," said Mr. Crocodile. Hearing Mr. Crocodile's words, the pony stepped into the river ready to learn how to swim. The little horse learned many times, but still did not learn, had to give up. At that moment, Uncle deer comes along, and the pony asks Uncle Giraffe," Uncle Giraffe, how can I cross the river? Uncle Giraffe smiled and said, "The river is shallow. You can walk with me." The pony saw the river to the giraffe uncle's chest, it also followed the river, but it just went down the river, the river has reached his chest, the pony quickly returned to the bank. At this time, the pony thought of a good idea, the pony ran to the woods cut four long branches, and picked a little cane made a stilt, ran to the river on stilts across the river. After crossing the river, the pony ran quickly to the baby elephant's home. They played happily all day long.

One day, little red fish said to his mother, "Can I go out to play?" "No," said the mother, "because there are many terrible animals outside. You'd better stay at home." After a while, the little red fish couldn't resist sneaking out to see the outside world. So he swam to the water's edge. Two chicks pecked at the water's edge and saw the little fish. So they ran to it and stared at it curiously. "Can you be friends with me?" asked the little red fish, and the chicks nodded, and they began to play and play near the water. Soon little red fish hungry, two chickens quickly pecked a lot of bugs in the grass next to come, took a small red fish, small red fish shook his head and said: "Huh? What is this? I won't eat it." The chicken said, "Bug, bug, this is the best thing in the world. Why don't you eat it?" Little red fish said, "I'd better go home and eat what mother has prepared for me." Then he ran home as fast as he could. Suddenly it bumped into a net and was caught in it. It struggled and cried for help. At this time not far from the crab brother heard, hurriedly to save it, it cut the net with its big pliers, rescued the small red fish, it said happily: "can be counted to find you! Your mother has been looking for you!" So, big brother Crab sent the little red fish home, it saw the door of the mother, spread over to give her a big hug. Mother said: "You do not secretly go out alone." Little red fish said: "I dare not again, mother I love you."
