Met a Snake by Accident

Last weekend， my cousin Linlin came to my house. She said， “Let’s fly a kite.” I was very happy. This was the first time for me to fly a kite.

Linlin was so clever that she made a kite by herself. She drew a picture on the kite. It looked very beautiful.

“Where are you going to fly？” I asked Linlin.

“We will fly on the hill behind your house，” she said with a smile.

The hill was not high. There were trees and flowers on the hill. Linlin was running with the kite and I was running after her. The kite was flying high in sky. How happy we were！

Suddenly， we stopped. There was a snake in front of us. It made us shocked. How terrible it was！

“Don’t fear. Keep still，” I said to Linlin. We kept silent. I stamped1 my feet without saying any words. The snake was running away soon.

“Why did you stamp your feet？” Linlin asked me in a surprise.

“Snake is not good at seeing things， but it is good at listening to sounds，” I said to her， “When I was a child， my father told me when you meet a snake， you should keep quiet. It will not attack2 you until you are moving all the time.”

遇蛇奇記

上個(gè)周末，我表妹琳琳來(lái)到我家。她說(shuō)：“我們?nèi)シ棚L(fēng)箏吧?！蔽液荛_(kāi)心。這是我第一次放風(fēng)箏。

琳琳很聰明，她自己親手做的風(fēng)箏。她在風(fēng)箏上畫(huà)了畫(huà)，看起來(lái)很漂亮。

“你打算去哪兒放風(fēng)箏呢？”我問(wèn)琳琳。

“我們?nèi)ツ慵业暮笊缴戏拧！彼χf(shuō)。

后山并不高。山上有樹(shù)有花。琳琳牽著風(fēng)箏跑，我在后面追著她跑。風(fēng)箏在空中飛得很高。我們玩得很開(kāi)心！

突然，我們停住腳步。在我們面前有一條蛇。我們大為震驚，太可怕啦！

“別害怕，別亂動(dòng)?！蔽覍?duì)琳琳說(shuō)。我們一直都不出聲。我不說(shuō)話只是跺了跺腳。蛇很快跑開(kāi)了。

“你為什么跺腳？”琳琳詫異地問(wèn)我。

“蛇視力不好，但是聽(tīng)力很好?！蔽艺f(shuō)，“小時(shí)候，爸爸對(duì)我說(shuō)過(guò)的。當(dāng)你遇見(jiàn)蛇的時(shí)候，你應(yīng)該保持安靜。蛇是不會(huì)攻擊你，除非你老是亂動(dòng)?！?/p>

我們聽(tīng)見(jiàn)爸爸在喊我們回去吃晚飯，于是轉(zhuǎn)身下山回家。我一回到家就把偶遇蛇的事情告訴爸爸。爸爸說(shuō)：“蛇和人類(lèi)也是朋友。我們不攻擊它們，它們也不會(huì)攻擊我們?！?/p>

We heard that my parents calling us to have dinner so we returned down the hill to back home. I told the accident to my father as soon as I got home. My father said， “Snakes and people are also friends. We don’t attack them， and they won’t attack us.”
