有一天，狮子对动物们说：“明天就是跑步健将选拔赛了，大家一定要做好赛前准备。”
One day, the lion said to the animals, "tomorrow is the running master trials, we must be ready for the race."
第二天，开始比赛了，选手是小狗、小松鼠和小鸭。裁判说：“你们必须绕过那些障碍。如果没有绕过障碍的话，就取消比赛资格。”动物们听了，心想，我可不能让大家看笑话，我一定要赢了这场比赛。
The next day, the competition began. The players were puppies, squirrels and ducks. The referee said: "you have to get around those obstacles. If you don't get around, you're disqualified. " The animals listened and thought, I can't let you see jokes, I must win the game.
一声枪响，大家都使劲地跑起来。来到第一个障碍前，大家都不吭声了。小鸭说：“游泳是我的特长，这次我赢定了。”可小鸭没想到，大家都会游泳。过了第一个障碍，它们继续跑着。到第二个障碍时，大家都在热身，是下河捉鱼。小鸭没管，它心想：“这次，我赢定了。”可是，却是平局。最后一个障碍是翻墙。小鸭以为自己能翻过去。可是，大家都翻过去了，它居然没能翻过去。
At the sound of a gun, everyone was running hard. When we came to the first obstacle, we were silent. "Swimming is my specialty," said the duckling. "I will win this time." But the duckling didn't expect that everyone could swim. After the first obstacle, they continued to run. When we reached the second obstacle, we were all warming up to catch fish in the river. The duckling didn't care. He thought, "this time, I'll win." But it was a draw. The last obstacle is to climb over the wall. The duckling thought he could turn it over. But everyone turned it over, and it didn't turn it over.
比赛结束了。小鸭把这件事告诉给家人，爸爸妈妈批评了它。它心想：都是骄傲惹的祸。我一定要改掉这个毛病，做一个谦虚的人。
The game is over. The duckling told the story to his family, and his parents criticized him. It thought: it's all about pride. I must get rid of this problem and be modest.
