危险的帮手

The Dangerous Helper

在一片茂密的森林中有一个湖。所有的动物都常喝湖里的水。这个湖的水很甜,许多鱼在那里生活了很长时间。湖里住着一只螃蟹。螃蟹最好的朋友是一只天鹅。那只天鹅也住在同一个湖里。他们在彼此的陪伴下很快乐。他们的快乐一直持续到有一天一条蛇在湖边安家。

In a dense^(1) forest, there was a lake. All the animals used to drink water from the lake. The water of this lake was so sweet that many fish lived there for long time. In this lake there lived a crab. The crab's best friend was a swan^(2). That swan was in the same lake. They were happy in the company of each other. Their happiness lasted until one day a snake made his home near the lake.
