It was¹ a fine day. The trees were green, the flowers were red and yellow. A white lamb² was playing in the fields³. At that time, a wolf came⁴ and caught it. The wolf wanted to eat the lamb.

 

The lamb said⁵, "I'm thin now, please come to eat me next time."

 

The wolf asked, "What your name ? How can I find you next time?"

 

The lamb said, "I'm Clever. When you came next time, call out 'Clever, Clever, come to me! I'm coming to eat you' and you can find me.”

 

The wolf said, "OK, Don't forget to come. I'm going⁶ to eat you next time."

 

"See you," the lamb said and ran⁷ away.

 

A few⁸ days later⁹, the wolf came, "Clever, where are you? Clever, Clever, come to me! I'm coming to eat you." The lamb said from the sheep-pen, "I'm in the sheep-pen, how can you eat me? I'm 'Clever'. Last time if I was not clever, I couldn't run away from you, you might¹⁰ have eaten me. but now you can only go home hungry. Bye-bye."

 

那是一个晴朗的天，树绿绿的，花红红的、黄黄的。一只白色的小羊羔在四处游玩，就在这时，一只狼来了，捉住了这只羊羔，狼要吃掉这只羊。

 

小羊羔说：“现在我很瘦小，你等我长大了再来吃我吧。”

 

狼问：‘你叫什么名字？下次我怎么样才能找到你?”

 

小羊羔说：“我叫精灵，你下次来的时候，叫‘精灵，精灵出来，我来了’你就能找到我。”

 

狼说，“好吧，记住，我下次再来吃你。”

 

“再见，”小羊羔说着跑开了。

 

七天以后。狼来了：“精灵，你在哪儿？精灵，精灵，快出来！我来吃你来了。”小羊羔在羊圈里说：“我在羊圈里,你怎么能吃到我呢？我是‘精灵’如果我不精灵，上次我就不可能，想到对你那样说，我就不可能从你面前逃走，你上次就可能已经把我吃掉了。现在你只能饿着肚子回家去，再见。”
