There is a big tiger with sharp¹ teeth and claws in a forest. He is the king of the animals and every animal is afraid of him. He eats at least² one animal every day. But none of the animals can stop him killing them. One day， there come three lovely rabbits. All the animals become so excited³ because the rabbits want to stop the tiger eating them.

Rabbit1: Hi， I’m a rabbit. My name is Susie and I am a brave⁴ rabbit.

Rabbit2: Hi， I’m a rabbit， too. My name is Mike and I can fight with⁵ the tiger.

Rabbit3: Hi， I’m Jack. Susie and Mike are my good friends. Our hobby is to help the weak⁶ in the world.

Tiger: Hello， do you know who I am？I’m a tiger. Everyone in the forest is my slave⁷. I’m incharge of ⁸ thewhole

forest. Ha-ha…

Rabbit1: Hi， have you heard about a tiger？ He is so dangerous that he eats many small animals.

Rabbit2: Yes， one of my friends was killed by the tiger last year.

Rabbit3: Shall we go and stop him from murdering innocent⁹ animals？(意為：我們?nèi)プ柚顾蛔屗麣⒑o(wú)辜的動(dòng)物， 好嗎？)

Rabbit12: Why not! That’s a good idea. Let’s leave now.

The tiger is eating his lunch in a cave. There are lots of animal bones around him. Everything looks terrible in the cave. Now the tiger sees the rabbits.

Tiger: Oh， those rabbits look lovely and delicious! I would like to eatthem for lunch.

At the moment， when the tiger wants to catch them， the rabbits shout at the tiger loudly.

Rabbits: Don’t touch us， please! Our king will kill you if you dare to¹⁰ hurt us.

The tiger stops at once. He feels very strange when he hears about another king.

Tiger: Your king? Are you playing a joke？I’m the king here.

Rabbit1: No， we mean it！（意為：我們說(shuō)真的來(lái)著!） We don’t play jokes!

Rabbit2: Our king is the strongest in the world. Everyone in the forest is scared of ¹¹ him.

Rabbbit3: He says that he will challenge¹² youandwillkick you out of the forest.

The tiger becomes angry when he hears the news.

Tiger: Tell me where your king is！I will fight with him and I will win.

Rabbit1: Are you sure to meet him？

Tiger: Why do you say that？

Rabbit1: Our king will eat you for dinner if he sees you.

Tiger: Really？I don’t believe that! I’m the king here! Please show me to him!

Rabbit1: Are you really willing to go and see our king？

Tiger: Yes. I don’t want him to take charge of the forest.

Rabbit2: All right. But I suggest you should prepare a weapon¹³ for the fight.

Tiger: A weapon？No， I don’t need¹⁴ touse a weaponto beat him.

Rabbit3: Are you sure？You may regret¹⁵ it!

After talking， the rabbits take the tiger to a big river. They stop by the river.

Tiger: Hey， where is your king？ I can’t see him.

Rabbit3: Don’t be in a hurry. Our king is in the river. look at the water， please.

The tiger walks to the river slowly and looks for the king carefully.

Rabbit1: Mr. Tiger， can you see our king？

Tiger: Is this guy¹⁶ your king？He looks so ugly¹⁷！.

Rabbit2: Can you move close to¹⁸ our king？

Tiger: Yes， of course I can.

Rabbit3: Are you afraid to fight with him？You are so scared!

The tiger looks at the king angrily. The king looks at the tiger angrily， too.

The tiger shouts at the king. At the same time the king shouts back at the tiger.

Tiger: You bad apple!（壞家伙！） Go to hell!（去死吧！） I’ll kill you!

The tiger jumps into the river quickly. Time goes on and on， the tiger is never seen again. The rabbits win!

Rabbit1: Oh， thank God! The tiger must have died!（肯定死了！）

Rabbit2: He will never terrorize¹⁹ the forest!
