Met a Snake by Accident

馬麗萍

Last weekend，my cousin Linlin came to my house.She said，“Let's fly a kite.”I was very happy.This was the first time for me to fly a kite.

Linlin was so clever that she made a kite by herself.She drew a picture on the kite.It looked very beautiful.

“Where are you going to fly？”I asked Linlin.

“We will fly on the hill behind your house，”she said with a smile.

The hill was not high.There were trees and flowers on the hill.Linlin was running with the kite and I was running after her.The kite was flying high in sky.How happy we were！

Suddenly，we stopped.There was a snake in front of us.It made us shocked.How terrible it was！

“Don't fear.Keep still，”I said to Linlin.We kept silent.I stamped1my feet without saying any words.The snake was running away soon.

“Why did you stamp your feet？”Linlin asked me in a surprise.

“Snake is not good at seeing things，but it is good at listening to sounds，”I said to her，“When I was a child，my father told me when you meet a snake，you should keep quiet.It will not attack2you until you are moving all the time.”

We heard that my parents calling us to have dinner so we returned down the hill to back home.I told the accident to my father as soon as I got home.My father said，“Snakes and people are also friends.We don't attack them，and they won't attack us.”

遇蛇奇記

上個周末，我表妹琳琳來到我家。她說：“我們去放風箏吧?！蔽液荛_心。這是我第一次放風箏。

琳琳很聰明，她自己親手做的風箏。她在風箏上畫了畫，看起來很漂亮。

“你打算去哪兒放風箏呢？”我問琳琳。

“我們去你家的后山上放。”她笑著說。

后山并不高。山上有樹有花。琳琳牽著風箏跑，我在后面追著她跑。風箏在空中飛得很高。我們玩得很開心！

突然，我們停住腳步。在我們面前有一條蛇。我們大為震驚，太可怕啦！

“別害怕，別亂動。”我對琳琳說。我們一直都不出聲。我不說話只是跺了跺腳。蛇很快跑開了。

“你為什么跺腳？”琳琳詫異地問我。

“蛇視力不好，但是聽力很好。”我說，“小時候，爸爸對我說過的。當你遇見蛇的時候，你應該保持安靜。蛇是不會攻擊你，除非你老是亂動?！?/p>

我們聽見爸爸在喊我們回去吃晚飯，于是轉身下山回家。我一回到家就把偶遇蛇的事情告訴爸爸。爸爸說：“蛇和人類也是朋友。我們不攻擊它們，它們也不會攻擊我們?！?/p>
