猴子旅行團

世界究竟有多大？眼見不為實。

One day the zoo monkeys decided to make an educational trip. They walked and walked. Then they stopped and one asked：

What do you see？

The lions cage， the seals pool and the giraffes house.

What a big world， and how instructive is travelling.

They started again their journey and stopped only at midday.

What can you see now？

The giraffes house， the seals pool and the lions cage.

What a strange world， and how instructive is travelling.

They started travelling again and stopped at sunset.

What is to be seen？

The lions cage， the giraffes house and the seals pool.

What a boring world： you always see the same things. And travelling is no use at all.

Of course！ They travelled and travelled but they had not got out of their cage and did nothing but going round and round as the horses in a merry-go-round.

某天，動物園里的猴子們決定組織一次具有教育意義的旅行。它們走著走著，停了下來，其中一只猴子問：

你們看見什么了？

獅子籠、海豹池，還有長頸鹿家園。

世界真大啊！旅行真是讓人受益匪淺。

它們又開始了一段旅程。這次，到中午就停下了腳步。

你們看見什么了？

長頸鹿家園、海豹池，還有獅子籠。

世界真奇妙啊！旅行真是讓人受益匪淺！

它們又開始旅行了，到黃昏才告一段落。

你們看見什么了？

獅子籠、長頸鹿家園，還有海豹池。

這世界太單調了！看來看去老是那幾樣。旅行一點兒意義都沒有。

當然啦！它們旅行了一次又一次，全都沒有走出它們自己的籠子。它們哪兒都沒去，只不過像旋轉木馬一樣在原地打轉罷了。
