三只比利山羊

Jade

這是一本非常有趣且富有寓意的繪本。從前，有三只比利山羊，它們發現，橋那頭的小山上有一片又綠又嫩的草地。可是，在去往草地的必經之路上，有一座橋。橋下面的洞穴里，住著一只兇狠無比的巨人怪。它們要怎樣過橋吃草呢？

接下來，讓我們一起來欣賞這個有趣的經典繪本故事吧。

Long long ago， there were three goats named Big， Middle， and Small.

Like all goats， they loved grass， and they were always hungry for more.

One day， Small said， "look over there， across the river！"

The goats looked. They saw a big， green hill（山）.

"That hill is so green！" said Middle.

"It must be covered with tasty grass（好吃的，鮮嫩的草）."

"That grass will make a fine lunch，" said Big."Lets go there now！"

The goats reached the edge（邊緣） of the river.

They saw a sign. It said：

Warning！ Troll Bridge！ Do Not Cross！ （警告！巨人怪的橋！不要通行！）

"I dont like trolls！" said Small.

"Neither do I！" said Middle.

"Dont worry，" said Big. He pointed under the bridge. “Look！ We are three smart goats， and I see only one little troll. We can get across that bridge.”

名叫Big的山羊跟Small 和Middle 說不用擔心，我們都是聰明的山羊，對方只是小巨人怪，我們會有辦法通過這座橋的。到底它們會用什么辦法呢？我們來繼續看。

Small went first. As he trotted（快步走，小跑） across the bridge， his small feet made a small sound.

Trip-trap. （快步走，小跑發出的聲響）

Trip-trap.

Trip-trap.

The troll woke up. "Who is crossing my bridge？" he yelled.（呼喊）

"Its only me！" said Small. "I want some fresh grass to eat. Please let me go across."

"No one may cross！" cried（呼喊） the troll.

"If you try， I will gobble you up！" （把你吞掉）

The little goat stopped to think.

"Please dont do that，" said Small. "I am very small and thin. Wait for my sister. She is bigger. You will find her much more tasty."

"Well，" said the troll."All right then. Now run away before I change my mind！" （改變我的主意）

So Small ran across the bridge.

Next came Middle. As she trotted across the bridge， her middle-sized feet made a middle-sized sound.

TRIP-trap.

TRIP-trap.

TRIP-trap.

"Who is crossing my bridge？" yelled the troll.

"Its only me！" said the goat."I want some fresh grass to eat. Please let me go across."

"No one may cross！" cried the troll. "If you try to cross my bridge， I will gobble you up！"

"Please dont do that，" said Middle. "Wait for my brother. He is very big， and he will make a much more tasty meal."

"Well，" said the troll."All right then. Now run away before I change my mind！"

So Middle ran across the bridge.

Middle和Small勸說巨人怪等待后面更大更美味的食物，巨人怪同意了，放了他們通過。最后Big 山羊來了，它也能逃脫巨人怪嗎？

Then came Big. As he trotted across the bridge， his very big feet made a very big sound.

TRIP-TRAP.

TRIP-TRAP.

TRIP-TRAP.

"Who is crossing my bridge？" yelled the troll.

"Its only me！" said the goat. " I want some fresh grass to eat. Please let me go across."

The troll climbed up the bridge. He saw Big. This goat was very big， just as Middle had said.

"If you try to cross my bridge， I will gobble you up！" cried the troll. "I am very hungry， and you will make a very nice lunch."

"No， I wont，" said Big. "I am bigger than you， and Im going to throw you into the river."

With that， Big put his head down. Then he began to run. He ran right into the troll and pushed him off（把他推下） the bridge.

The troll fell into（掉入） the river.

Then， Big crossed the bridge. He joined Middle and Small on the hill.

They all felt very smart， and they had a lovely lunch of fresh， green grass.

這是一個富有寓意的故事，巨人怪霸占了一座橋，不許別人通過，惡狠狠地說誰通過，就要吞掉他們。三只山羊為了到對面吃上美味的草，來到這里面對巨人怪。他們并沒有退縮和害怕，反而三只山羊運用計謀，一個一個陸續通過這座橋。最后體型龐大的Big山羊還把巨人怪推到河流中，以此懲罰他。《三只比利山羊》的故事告訴我們，智慧往往給我們帶來打破常規逆向思維的方法，但是還需要去實現的勇氣，智慧與勇氣兩者結合，成功才顯得輕而易舉。當我們面臨險境，勇氣就像是我們的防護盾，而智慧是我們的指揮官，如果同時擁有兩者，無論學習還是工作將會達到事半功倍的效果。用智慧來思考，以勇氣來克服，沖破逆境，就能像三只山羊一樣獲得最美味的青青草原。
