少儿睡前英语小故事-豹子身上的黑斑

Long, long ago, everything about the leopard was tan, don't have any spots. Right now, we see a leopard, cheetah, clouded leopard leopard have black spots, is this why?
Originally, the leopard is the earliest time to live in a great plains. , almost all the prairie is tan: sandy is tan, rock is tan, weeds are tan, not even a giraffe, zebra, antelope those living in the grasslands of the animals body also is tan. And grassland, however, the most similar color, but also the number of leopards. A leopard color and the color of the prairie is the same, so, when the leopard in front of you, if you don't watch carefully, may simply not found. But, a leopard this color for these animals giraffes, zebras and antelope is really too bad, because, the most like to eat these animals leopard. It always quietly hide in tan big rocks or grass edge, when the animals from passing, it suddenly jump out and eat them. So, grassland animals are very afraid of the leopard.
In the grasslands, but lived a hunter, the hunter's body is brown, and his body color and the color of the prairie is almost exactly the same! The hunter, like a leopard, also often want to capture the giraffes, zebras and antelope. He is just with bows and arrows, and the leopard with claws and teeth.
In the grasslands, almost every day have an animal to be a leopard or hunters, watching the animals less and less. The giraffe, antelope, zebra, and other animals are very anxious, because, who also don't know who will be the next be eaten. So giraffe summoned the animals for a meeting, discuss how to deal with the hunter and leopards. Animals from discussion in the morning to the afternoon, and from the discussion in the afternoon and evening, discussed the whole day and night, also didn't come up with a good solution. Finally, they decided to leave the grassland, together with all the animals from the leopard and the hunter far, go to a place they have never been to. Because the giraffe's longest legs, so, the animals chosen giraffe as guide, lead them out of the prairie.
Under the guidance of the giraffe, the animals could, ran forward to vastly. Who also don't know where to go, they are constantly run, run, run, run, run for three days and three nights, they saw a big forest.
The forest is very large, and trees, so the inside black, opaque.
"Hi, friends, let's stay here, you see?" A giraffe asked you later.
Zebra ran to the forest and have a look, hurriedly say: "oh my god, it's too dark, what all can't see! That's terrible!"
Antelope ran in looked, said: "is a bit black, but, we're not going to find a safe place? So dark inside, the leopard and the hunter could not find us."
"How do you think? The giraffe and you advice.
Attached to run for three days and three nights, the animals are already very tired, and their thoughts and antelope, also feel the great forests so black, hunters and leopards are hard to find them. So, they have lived in this forest.
No threat of the hunter and leopards, the animals live a carefree life here, very happy day. But they also did not dare to come out of the forest, for fear of the hunter and leopards chase. Although most of the areas are dark in the forest, but sun occasionally gap shone through the leaves. In some places can according to the sun in the forest, in some places as less than the sun, so on some of the animals on the place will often be the sun that some places are always less than the sun. After a period of time, the giraffe brown skin and long out of the chunks of spots; The beige skin also appeared a series of stripe; Antelope also becomes gray, there are some crooked back of grey absolute, looks like a piece of bark. Their body color and the color of the forest is very like. So, even if other people can hear their voice, smell the smell of them, it is hard to find them.
When the leopard and the hunter found all the animals were gone, they are very angry. Then, they keep looking on the prairie, vowed to get these animals back, otherwise, they don't eat anything. Of course, in the end they have to catch some mice ah, beetles, or something to eat. Because, in didn't find the giraffe before them, they have't stand the hungry.
One day, just as the leopard and the hunter tummy grumbles, they met with a gorilla, the gorilla is the cleverest animal in the forest.
"Hey, gorilla! Do you know the animals ran to the grasslands where go to?" The leopard asked.
Although gorilla know those animals ran out into the forest, however, it finds the leopard too polite, so it is not responding to it.
At this moment, the hunter and gorillas greeting: "hello, Mr Gorilla! Can you tell me the prairie animal ran to where go to?" Gorillas, however, want to put the shelves, so still blinked, ignore the hunter.
So, the hunter had to ask again: "dear Mr Gorilla, trouble you can tell me the forest the animals all ran to where go to? Thank you!"
Now gorilla to lazily opened the mouth, it said: "all those animals ran to another place, anyway, you also can not find, I beseech you, do not waste time."
"Words are say so, but, since they had gone, we do not not sweet every day, because less so a group of good partners, we feel very lonely." The hunter said in her cheek.
"Oh, come on! I don't know your thoughts. To tell you the truth, they don't run into a large forest, even if you find the forest, also can not find them." The gorilla said.
"Why?" The leopard feel very strange.
"Because of their living environment has changed, so their appearance has changed, perhaps the giraffe giraffe become no longer like before, zebra zebra also become no longer like before." The gorilla said.
"Oh? I have so return a responsibility? We'd like to see what they are now became." The hunter is very interested in.
"If you want to see them now, unless you first change yourself now." The gorilla said. "Well, thank you Mr Gorilla!" The hunter said happily. Then, he walked on and leopards, they know to go to the forest this time.
In this way, they kept to find ah find ah, find a lot of days, a lot of walking, finally came to the beside a big forest.
"Yi? What is this place, inside black goodness, but some of the light." Said the leopard.
"Yes, this place is very strange! Will forest is the big gorilla said? I smelled a smell of giraffe, also can hear the sounds of it, but I can't find it!" The hunter said.
"Yes, yes, I also smelled the smell of the zebra, heard the sound, can't see where it is! I think this may be because of we had just come from the light." Said the leopard.
"Ooops! I think it's because we have not seen them for a long time, so they all like to forget. Even see also don't know." The hunter said.
"Nonsense!" Leopard roars way, "but I clearly remember their appearance: giraffes have more than five meters high, from head to toe is dark brown, zebra, body is light brown!"
"Oh! Sorry! That said, in the black forest of goodness, giraffe they should look like a ripe banana." The hunter said.
But, as said the gorilla, the animals are not that look before. So, although the leopard and the hunter in the forest around a day, zebra, giraffe and antelope everywhere, but they didn't find anything. Although they can hear their voices, can smell the scent from them, but they did not even find their shadow.
To lunch at the time, the leopard has been hungry grumbles, it is gas and urgently to the hunter said: "for god's points, let's take a break, I'm exhausted. Broad daylight, let's actually even catch no an antelope or a zebra, that if let others know is sure to laugh at us for a lifetime. We'd like to say again after dark."
Then, they sitting around in the forest, waiting for the dark. Is very not easy finally dark, at this time, the leopard heard the breathing, the voice is from behind it! The leopard thrusts a turn, ran toward the voice of place. It smells like a zebra, however, feels like a zebra, kick look like zebra, but is can't see it. Leopards on its head, and said: "no talking, you are such a strange guy! I want to sit on your head until the morning, I want to see you really look like? What is the monster?"
After a while, the leopard heard the hunter aside shouted, "I caught an invisible stuff! It smells of a giraffe, but the appearance of the kick and giraffe very much like, however, is to see it would look like!"
"If you don't know what is it, that you sit on its head, has been sitting in the morning, I'll see what they!" Said the leopard.
In this way, the leopard and the hunter has been sitting in the morning.
Leopards hunter asked: "hey, you what is sitting there?"
The hunter scratched his head and said: "should be a giraffe, but it was filled with spots, visible, it is not a giraffe. Brothers, you sit under what is it?"
The leopard also scratch scratch my head and said, "should be a zebra, but, it was full of stripes. You're honest metasomatism, zebra! Why are you turned out to be like this?"
"That you first let us up, we'll tell you what it is." Said the zebra.
So, hunter and leopards have offspring of a zebra and a giraffe. Zebras and giraffes run to the bottom of the tree, I saw them in some places the sun, in some places have not been to the.
"Do you see? It's as simple as that. Ok, we have work, walked first. You go to other places to find food!" Offspring of a zebra and a giraffe say that finish turned and disappeared.
Leopards and hunter zheng big eyes looking for offspring of a zebra and a giraffe, but they are only one to see the sun shining into the forest, a little, can't find their figure.
"Hey! We are cheated! However, we should indeed listen to gorillas, we have to change our skin color. Otherwise, the animals can see us, and we can't see them, so that we don't want to catch them." The hunter said.
"To change the color of skin? You didn't make a mistake? What are you going to make the color of the skin to look like?" The leopard was surprised to ask hunter.
"I want to become dark brown, zebras and giraffes so they can't see me." The hunter said.
"Where should I go? What colour my skin to become?" The leopard asked.
"You'd better get some stripes or spots, and giraffe or and zebras look like so a few." The hunter said.
"I just don't want to and zebras! It longer is ugly." Said the leopard.
"Then you can get spots, they appear more handsome!" The hunter said.
"Alas...... that is all right! You help me with some spots. However, you can never make spots is too big, it seems too tacky, I do not want to grow and giraffes like!"
"No problem, I use my fingers for you some spots." The hunter said.
So the hunter put all of your body with black color, and then, the five fingers together, their unwanted black color point on the leopard. So, we will find a leopard spots are now five heap, five of the heap. At the hunter for the leopard spots, sometimes fingers sliding, so, a leopard spots are a little fuzzy.
When a leopard has spots, it lives in the forest down, because it can make use of the advantage of their body colors to catch animals.
很久很久以前，豹⼦浑⾝上下都是黄褐⾊的，根本没有什么斑点。

可是，现在我们看到的⾦钱豹、猎豹、云豹等豹⼦⾝上都有⿊⿊的斑点，这是为什么呢？
原来，豹⼦最早的时候⽣活在⼀个⼤草原上。

⼀眼望去，那个草原上⼏乎全都是黄褐⾊的：沙⼟是黄褐⾊的，岩⽯是黄褐⾊的，野草是黄褐⾊的，就连长颈⿅、斑马、羚⽺等这些⽣活在草原上的动物们浑⾝上下也都是黄褐⾊的。

但是，和草原颜⾊最相近的，还要数豹⼦。

豹⼦⾝上的颜⾊和草原的颜⾊简直是⼀模⼀样，所以，当豹⼦在你⾯前的时候，如果你不仔细看，可能根本就不会发现。

但是，豹⼦⾝上的这种颜⾊对于长颈⿅、斑马和羚⽺这些动物们来说真是太糟糕了，因为，豹⼦最喜欢吃这些动物了。

它总是要悄悄地躲在黄褐⾊的⼤岩⽯或者草丛边，当那些动物们从它⾝边经过的时候，它就猛地扑出去，把它们
吃掉。

所以，草原上的动物⾮常怕豹⼦。

在这个草原上，还住着⼀个猎⼈，这个猎⼈浑⾝上下也是黄褐⾊的，⽽且，他⾝上的颜⾊和草原的颜⾊⼏乎也是⼀模⼀样的！这个猎⼈也像豹⼦⼀样，经常要捕捉长颈⿅、斑马和羚⽺。

只不过他是⽤⼸箭，⽽豹⼦是⽤⽖⼦和⽛齿。

在这个草原上，⼏乎每天都有⼀只动物要被豹⼦或者猎⼈捕杀，眼看着动物越来越少了。

长颈⿅、羚⽺、斑马和其它动物们都⾮常着急，因为，谁也不知道下次被吃掉的会是谁。

于是，长颈⿅召集动物们开了⼀次⼤会，商量怎么对付猎⼈和豹⼦。

动物们从早上讨论到下午，⼜从下午讨论到晚上，整整讨论了⼀天⼀夜，也没有想出⼀个好办法。

最后，它们决定所有的动物⼀起离开这个草原，离豹⼦和猎⼈远远的，去⼀个他们从来没有去过的地⽅。

因为长颈⿅的腿最长，所以，动物们推选长颈⿅作为领路⼈，带领它们离开草原。

在长颈⿅的带领下，动物们扶⽼携幼，浩浩荡荡地向前跑去。

谁也不知道要去哪⾥，它们就是不停地跑呀跑，跑呀跑，整整跑了三天三夜，它们看见了⼀⽚⼤森林。

这个森林⾮常⼤，⽽且树⽊茂盛，所以⾥⾯⿊乎乎的，伸⼿不见五指。

“嗨！伙伴们，咱们就在这⾥住下了，你们看怎么样？”长颈⿅回头问⼤家。

斑马跑到森林⾥看了⼀看，赶紧出来说：“天啊，⾥⾯太⿊了，什么东西都看不见！太可怕了！”
羚⽺也跑进去看了看，说：“是有点⿊，可是，我们不是要找⼀个安全的地⽅吗？⾥⾯这么⿊，豹⼦和猎⼈就找不到我们了。

”
“⼤家觉得怎么样？”长颈⿅⼜征求⼤家的意见。

连着跑了三天三夜，动物们都已经很累了，⽽且，它们的想法和羚⽺⼀样，也觉得这个⼤森林这么⿊，猎⼈和豹⼦很难找到它们。

于是，它们就在这个⼤森林⾥住了下来。

没有了猎⼈和豹⼦的威胁，动物们在这⾥过着⽆忧⽆虑的⽣活，⽇⼦⾮常快乐。

可是它们也不敢从森林⾥出来，因为怕猎⼈和豹⼦追过来。

虽然森林⾥⼤部分地⽅都是⿊漆漆的，但是，阳光偶尔也会透过树叶的缝隙照进来。

森林⾥有的地⽅能照到太阳，有的地⽅照不到太阳，所以，动物们的⾝上有的地⽅也就常常被太阳晒到，有的地⽅永远都晒不到太阳。

过了⼀段时间之后，长颈⿅深褐⾊的⽪上长出了⼀⼤块⼀⼤块的斑点；斑马浅褐⾊的⽪上也出现了⼀道道的条纹；羚⽺也变得灰不溜秋的，背上有⼀些弯弯曲曲的灰道道，看上去就像是⼀张树⽪。

它们⾝上的颜⾊变得和整个森林的颜⾊⾮常像。

所以，即使别⼈能听得见它们说话的声⾳，闻得到它们⾝上的⽓味，也很难找到它们。

当豹⼦和猎⼈发现所有的动物都不见了的时候，他们⾮常⽣⽓。

于是，他们就不停地在草原上找来找去，发誓⼀定要把这些动物找回来，否则的话，他们就什么东西也不吃。

当然，最后他们还是得抓⼀些⽼⿏呀、甲⾍呀什么的来填饱肚⼦。

因为，在没找到长颈⿅它们之前，他们就已经饿得受不了了。

⼀天，正当豹⼦和猎⼈肚⼦饿得咕咕叫的时候，他们遇到了⼀只⼤猩猩，这只⼤猩猩可是森林⾥最聪明的动物。

“嗨，⼤猩猩！你知道草原上的动物都跑到哪⾥去了吗？”豹⼦问道。

虽然⼤猩猩知道那些动物都跑到森林⾥去了，但是，它觉得豹⼦太没有礼貌了，所以它不搭理它。

这时，猎⼈⼜和⼤猩猩打招呼：“你好，⼤猩猩先⽣！你能告诉我那些草原上的动物都跑到什么地⽅去了吗？”
可是，⼤猩猩想摆⼀下架⼦，所以还是眨了眨眼睛，不理猎⼈。

于是，猎⼈只好再问了⼀遍：“尊敬的⼤猩猩先⽣，⿇烦您能告诉我森林⾥的动物们都跑到哪⾥去了吗？谢谢您！”
这下⼦⼤猩猩才懒洋洋地开了⼝，它说：“那些动物们都跑到另外⼀个地⽅去了，反正你们也找不到，我劝你们还是不要⽩费⼯夫了。

”
“话是这么说，可是，⾃从它们⾛了之后，我们每天都茶饭不⾹，因为少了这么⼀群好伙伴，我们觉得很寂寞。

”猎⼈假惺惺地说。

“哼，算了吧！我还不知道你们的⼼思。

实话告诉你们吧，那些动物都跑到⼀个⼤森林⾥去了，就算你们找到那个森林，也未必能找得到它们。

”⼤猩猩说。

“为什么？”豹⼦觉得很奇怪。

“因为它们的⽣活环境变了，所以它们的样⼦也发⽣了改变，也许长颈⿅变得不再像以前的长颈⿅，斑马也变得不再像以前的斑马了。

”⼤猩猩说。

“哦？真有这么回事？我们倒想看看它们现在都变成了什么样⼦。

”猎⼈很感兴趣地说。

“如果你们想看到它们现在的样⼦，除⾮你们先改变⾃⼰现在的模样。

”⼤猩猩说。

　“好，谢谢⼤猩猩先⽣了！”猎⼈⾼兴地说。

然后，他就和豹⼦继续往前⾛，这次他们知道要去找森林了。

就这样，他们不停地找啊找啊，找了很多天，⾛了很多路，终于来到了那座⼤森林旁边。

“咦？这是什么地⽅，⾥⾯⿊咕隆咚的，却⼜有⼀些光线。

”豹⼦说。

“是啊，这个地⽅好奇怪啊！会不会就是⼤猩猩说的⼤森林？我闻到了长颈⿅的⽓味，也听到了它的声⾳，但是，我却找不到它！”猎⼈说。

“是啊，是啊，我也闻到了斑马的⽓味，听见了斑马的叫声，却看不见它在哪⾥！我想这也许是我们刚从亮处进来的缘故。

”豹⼦说。

“不对不对！我想是因为我们已经有好长时间没见过它们了，所以把它们的模样都给忘记了。

即使看见了也已经不认识了。

”猎⼈说。

“胡说⼋道！”豹⼦怒吼道，“我可是清清楚楚地记着它们的模样：长颈⿅有五⽶多⾼，从头到脚都是深褐⾊的；斑马呢，浑⾝上下都是浅褐⾊的！”
“哦！对不起！这样说来，在这个⿊咕隆咚的森林⾥，长颈⿅它们看起来应该像是熟透了的⾹蕉。

”猎⼈说。
