《This Is Not My Hat》

This hat is not mine.

I juststole（偷） it.

I stole it from a big fish.

He wasasleep（正在睡覺(jué)） when I did it.

And heprobably（可能）won’twake up（醒來(lái)） for a long time.

Andeven if（即便）he does wake up，he probably won’tnotice（注意）that it’s gone.

And even if he does notice that it’s gone,he probably won’t know it was me who took it.

And even if he doesguess（猜 測(cè)）it was me,he won’t know where I am going.

But I'll tell you where I'm going.

I am going where theplants（水草）grow big and tall and close together.

It is very hard to see in there.

Nobody will ever find me.

There is someone who had saw me already（已經(jīng)）.

But he said he wouldn't tell anybody which way I went.

So I'm notworried（擔(dān)心）about it.

I know it'swrong（錯(cuò)的） to steal a hat.

I know it does notbelong（屬于）to me.

But I'm going tohold（擁有）it.

It was too small for him anyway.

Itfits（適合）me just right.

And, look! I made it!

Where the plants arebig and close together（茂密）.

I know I was going to make it.

Nobody will ever find me.

同學(xué)們，你們看懂這個(gè)故事了嗎？

聰明的你一定會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，一切情況和小魚(yú)想的正好相反。大魚(yú)醒了，意識(shí)到自己頭上的帽子沒(méi)有了。他很在乎，并且開(kāi)始去找回帽子，途中向小螃蟹問(wèn)路，知道了小魚(yú)的去處。大魚(yú)游進(jìn)了茂密的水草中，拿到了自己的帽子，很開(kāi)心地戴在了頭上。

可是，小魚(yú)去哪里了呢？

繪本沒(méi)有給出答案，留給同學(xué)們?nèi)ヂ?lián)想吧，歡迎來(lái)小象英文教室分享你們的想法喲！
