One day, a raven(渡鸦) happened to fly past a lake. Looking at the lake, he saw the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. She was a swan(天鹅) and her feathers(羽毛) were as white as snow. The swan was playing with other birds happily, talking and dancing. And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with her. When he looked at his own feathers, he found they were as black as coal(煤炭). The raven was very angry with the swan. “How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” said the raven. What should he do with his feathers? He thought it over and over.
Then, the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swan’s. From that day on, the raven began to live like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important thing for the raven was to wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white. He even went to the nearby rivers and ponds(池塘) to wash his feathers because he thought the water in the lakes was not enough for him to wash them. But no matter how hard he washed his feathers, they remained black.
As he ate only water plants, he soon grew thinner and thinner. Not many days later, the raven died.

2. 第一段中渡鸦看到天鹅羽毛雪白，自己羽毛乌黑，生气地说“How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?”，可知生气是因为天鹅有美丽的白色羽毛。
3. 第二段“He moved his home from the woods to the lake”表明渡鸦原本的家在树林。
4. 第二段“the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swan’s. From that day on, the raven began to live like the swan”，说明渡鸦想像天鹅一样生活是因为想拥有白色羽毛，即想变成天鹅。
5. 第二段“the most important thing for the raven was to wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white”，可知渡鸦洗羽毛是希望羽毛变白。
