Why The Bat Come Out Only At Night

Long long ago, there was a war between the birds and the beasts. No one knows what they fought about.

The bat did not know whose side he should take. He thought and thought, then decided he must try to be on the side of the winners.

So he watched from far away. After a while, it seemed that the birds were going to win.He flew over to join them.

"What on earth are you doing here?" a bird shouted at him.

"Can't you see I'm a bird?" the bat said with a smile. "Look , I have wings,just like you."

Come along,then,"said the bird."Don't hide behind others."

But things changed soon. Now it seemed that the beasts were winning. So the bat left the birds in a hurry and went over to the beasts.

"What are you doing on our side?" an animal called out to him. "Are you spying on us?"

"Don't you know I'm one of you?" asked the bat, showing his teeth."Look. Can't you see I've got teeth ,too?"

"Who are you trying to fool?" said the animals. "We saw you fighting on the side of the birds just now."

So the beasts drove him off. Of course the birds refused to take him back.

When the beasts and the birds saw neither side could win, they decided to stop fighting.

Neither beasts nor birds would have the bat as their friend,so he was afraid to leave his home. Ever since then, the bat comes out only at night.

讲蝗虫的英语文章是盐湖城的 Salt Lake City有海鸥的.

THE SEAGULLS OF SALT LAKE CITY
Salt Lake City is a beautiful city in the
west of North America, with was founded over a hundred years ago. At that time,
a group of men, women and children arrived at a valley with high mountains all
around it. They had begun their journey far away in the east. After they had
crossed the mountains, they found the valley. In the middle of it there was a
salt lake.This was where their city now lies.
The land seemed good, and they
decided to stay there. They built their homes, and made their farms, and planted
their crops. The people had to work hard on their farms. If they did not grow
enough food, they would have nothing to eat.
One day while they were working
in the fields, some farmers saw something strange in the sky. "What's that?"
asked one of them.
"Where?" asked another farmer, as he stopped to look.

"Over there," he answered.
They saw something coming towards them. It
looked like a cloud, but it was too low in the sky. As they watched, it came
nearer and nearer. Suddenly a shout went up:"Locusts! Millions of locusts!"

Everyone stopped working, and looked at the sky. They were all frightened,
because they knew what locusts could do. They had never seen so many of them
before.
In no time the locusts came down and started eating their crops-the
wheat, the vegetables, even the grass, and the leaves on the trees.

Everyone-men, women and children-tried to fight against the locusts. They
tried everything, but while they were killing locusts in one place, millions
more arrived in another. What could they do?
Suddenly they heard a great
noise. They looked up into the sky and saw another great cloud coming towards
them. To their surprise, they saw not locusts, but seagulls. The farmers cried
out, "They've come to eat what the locusts have left!"
But they found that
the seagulls had come to eat, not their crops, but the locusts. Ususlly, the
seagulls lived near the sea. But they had seen or smelt the locusts and had come
to eat them. Now they were eating the locusts. In a short while they ate up
millions of them. The farmers' crops were saved!
The people were very
thankful. They decided that from then on no one should ever kill a seagull. And
today, if you go to Salt Lake City, you can see a monument with seagulls on top
of it.
