儿童英语-Curious George.pdf

This is George. He lived in Africa. He was a good little monkey and always very curious. One day George saw a man. He had on a large yellow straw hat. The man saw George, too. What a nice little monkey, he thought, I would like to take him home with me. The man put his hat on the ground, and of course George was curious. He came down from the tree to look at the large yellow hat. The hat had been on the man’s head. George thought it would be nice to have it on his own head. He picked it up and put it on. The hat covered George’s head. He couldn’t see. The man picked him up quickly and popped him into a bag. George was caught. The man with the big yellow hat put George into a little boat, and a sailor rowed them both across the water to a big ship. George was sad, but he was still a little curious. On the big ship, things began to happen. The man took off the bag. George sat on a little stool and the man said, George, I am going to take you to a big Zoo in a big city. You will like it there. Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble. George promised to be good. But it is easy for little monkeys to forget. On the deck he found some sea gulls. He wondered how they could fly. He was very curious. Finally he HAD to try. It looked easy. But -- oh, what happened! First this – and then this! WHERE IS GEORGE? The sailors looked and looked. At last they saw him struggling in the water, and almost all tired out. Man overboard! the sailors cried as they threw him a lifebelt. George caught it and held on. At last he was safe on board. After that, George was more careful to be a good monkey, until at last the long trip was over. Ge
