A hungry fox
Once upon a time, there was a hungry fox that was looking for something to eat. He was very hungry. No matter how hard he tried, the fox could not find food. Finally he went to the edge(边缘) of the forest and searched there for food. Suddenly he saw a big tree with a hole in it.
Inside the hole was a package(包裹). The hungry fox thought that there might be food in it and became very happy. He jumped into the hole. When he opened the package, he saw bread, meat and fruit in it!
An old woodcutter(伐木工) placed the food in the tree trunk before he began to cut down trees in the forest. He was going to eat it for his lunch.
The fox happily began to eat. After he finished eating, he felt thirsty and decided to leave the hole and drink some water from a nearby spring(泉). However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get out of the hole. Do you know why? Because the fox ate so much food that he became too big to fit through(穿过) the hole!
The fox was very sad and upset(难过的). He told himself, “I wish I had thought a little before jumping into the hole.”
