捉鸡

大年初三，我们一大群人兴致勃勃地去大山里玩。一路上我们有说有笑，枝头上的鸟儿唧唧喳喳地叫着，路边的野花野草快活地向我们招手。走了大半天，终于走到了大山里的一个小山村。

On the third day of the new year, a large group of us went to play in the mountains. Along the way we talked and laughed, the birds on the branches chirped and the wild flowers and grass on the roadside waved to us happily. After walking for a long time, I finally came to a small mountain village in the mountain.

小山村里有一户人家养着许许多多的大公鸡和大母鸡。大家觉得这些鸡挺不错的，就向养鸡的那位阿公提出买三只鸡。阿公觉得我们提出的价钱挺合适，就欣然同意了。

There is a family in the small mountain village that keeps many big cocks and hens. Everyone thought these chickens were very good, so they asked the man who raised them to buy three chickens. Gong felt that the price we offered was quite suitable, so he readily agreed.

阿公开始捉鸡了。要想捉住满山乱跑的鸡可不容易。阿公先从屋子里拿出一桶小麦，再把小麦撒在地上，然后扔些白菜，最后趁鸡在津津有味的吃东西的时候，冷不防地用手抓过去，总会抓住一两只特别贪吃的鸡。

A gong begins to catch chickens. It's not easy to catch the chickens running all over the mountain. Grandpa took out a barrel of wheat from the house, then sprinkled the wheat on the ground, and then threw some cabbage. Finally, while the chicken was eating with relish, he grabbed it by hand, and always caught one or two of the greedy chickens.

同学们，你们千万不要像那几只特别贪吃的鸡那样贪吃，否则后果会很严重的。

Students, you must not be greedy like those special greedy chickens, or the consequences will be very serious.
