小蚂蚁的大力量
王明和李红坐在公园里。
李红看着地上。”你看那只蚂蚁。”
地上有一只很小的蚂蚁。它嘴里有一块饼干。饼干很大。但是蚂蚁还在走。
“哇，”王明说。”它很厉害！”
“对，”李红说。”蚂蚁很厉害。”
王明看着蚂蚁。”如果我也这么厉害，我可以搬汽车。”
李红笑了。”你想搬汽车做什么？”
“我不知道，”王明说。
两个人看着蚂蚁走，走，走。
“它去哪里？”王明问。
“回家，”李红说。
王明点点头。”它很努力。”
The Little Ant’s Big Strength
Wang Ming and Li Hong were sitting in the park.
Li Hong looked at the ground. “Look at that ant.”
There was a very small ant on the ground. It had a piece of cookie in its mouth. The cookie was very big. But the ant kept walking.
“Wow,” Wang Ming said. “It’s so amazing!”
“Yes,” Li Hong said. “Ants are very amazing.”
Wang Ming watched the ant. “If I were that strong, I could lift a car.”
Li Hong laughed. “What would you want to lift a car for?”
“I don’t know,” Wang Ming said.
The two of them watched the ant walk, walk, walk.
“Where is it going?” Wang Ming asked.
“Home,” Li Hong said.
Wang Ming nodded. “It works very hard.”
