少兒英語故事：鄉(xiāng)村的道路

Very far away from the city lived a poor farmer and his wife. In front of their house was a smalldirt road. Very few cars drove on this road because it was so far from the city.On the dirt road，there was a big hole filled with water. The hole was very deep，but drivers on the road didn't know just how deep.Drives always drove into the hole，but they never drove out. One day，a man in a new car was driving down the road. He saw the hole with the water，but he didn't think it was very deep.He drove into the hole，but he couldn't drive out. The man saw the farmer on his tractor working in the field，and he signaled to the farmer. The farmer drove over to the man in the new car.“Is there a problem?”asked the farmer.“Yes，”said the man.“My car is stuck in this hole.Can you help me?”

“Maybe，”said the farmer.“But I'm very busy.”

“If you help me，I'll pay you，”said the man.“OK，”said the farmer. The farmer pulled the car out of the hole with his tractor，and the man paid him a lot of money. The man looked at the farmer and said，“You must make a lot of money pulling cars out of this hole day and night.”

“Actually，no，”said the farmer.“Why not?”asked the man.“The hole is very deep，and a lot of people get stuck and ask for help.But I don't make money day and night because I don't pull cars out at night.”

“At night I'm busy filling the hole with water，”answer the farmer.

鄉(xiāng)村的道路

離城市非常遠(yuǎn)的地方住著一個貧窮的農(nóng)夫和他的妻子。在他們的房子前面是一條很小的土路。非常少的車輛駛過這條道路，因?yàn)樗x城市是如此的遠(yuǎn)。在這條土路上，有一個很大的充滿了水的洞。這個洞非常深，但是在這條路上的司機(jī)并不知道多深。司機(jī)們總是駛進(jìn)洞中，而且從他們沒有駛出來。一天，一個人開著一輛新轎車正駛在這條道路上。他看到了這個有水的洞，但是他認(rèn)為洞不是很深。他駛進(jìn)了這個洞中，但是他不能駛出來了。這個人看到農(nóng)夫正駕駛著拖拉機(jī)在田地理工作，于是他對這個農(nóng)夫打招呼。農(nóng)夫向這個人坐的轎車駛過來。“有難題嗎?”農(nóng)夫問。“是的，”這個人回答。“我的轎車載進(jìn)這個洞里了。你能幫助我嗎?”

“也許可以，”農(nóng)夫回答。“但是我非常忙。”

“如果你幫助我，我將付您錢，”這個人說。“好吧。”農(nóng)夫說。農(nóng)夫用他的拖拉機(jī)把轎車從洞里拉了出來，然后這個人付給他很多錢。這個男人看著農(nóng)夫說，“你日夜從這個洞里拉轎車出來一定賺了很多錢。”

“實(shí)際上不是這樣，”農(nóng)夫說。“為什么不?”這個男人問。“這個洞非常深，有很多陷進(jìn)去的人請求幫助。但是我沒有日夜賺錢，因?yàn)槲以谕砩喜焕嚦鰜怼?rdquo;

“在晚上我忙著往這個洞里面注水，”農(nóng)夫回答。
