寧靈

春天，樹上長出了一片片新葉;夏天，枝頭茂密的樹葉可以為我們提供清涼的樹蔭;秋天，樹葉開始一片接著一片從枝頭飄落……樹葉的生命，就是這樣在四季中循環(huán)往復(fù)。樹葉說，能夠?yàn)榇髽涮峁B(yǎng)分，讓它長得那么壯實(shí)，真為自己感到自豪！就讓我們一起到繪本中去了解一片樹葉的一生吧！

I’m a leaf.

I live on a maple tree.

See the ladybug？

She’s crawling on me.

It tickles！

Many leaves live on my tree.

We have a summer job.

We make tree food.

We make it from air and sunlight.

That sun feels good.

We also need water to make tree food.

Rainwater goes into the soil.

It goes into the tree’s roots.

It goes up the tree.

It flows into my veins（葉脈）.

My veins are like little pipes.

I mix sunlight， air， and water.

Then I add something green.

It’s called chlorophyll（葉綠素）.

Chlorophyll is green.

It makes me green.

All summer long，

I have made tree food.

Once a caterpillar came by.

Nibble， nibble， nibble.

It ate a little hole in me.

But I still did my job.

Once a spider came by.

Busy， busy， busy.

It made a big web.

But I still did my job.

Once a squirrel jumped on me.

Boing， boing， boing！

It ran right over me！

But I still did my job.

Now fall has come.

My work is over.

My green goes away.

Now I am ...

Red！ Yellow！ Orange！

It’s party time！

All the leaves on my

tree are turning colors！

People ooh and aah.

The wind blows.

We break away.

We dance with the wind.

Gently， we land on the ground.

We rest.

Winter has come.

The forest is white with snow.

Some trees stay green.

They are called evergreens（常青樹）.

Slowly， leaves turn into soil.

The soil holds roots.

The soil holds water.

The soil holds animals sleeping in dens.

Winter is over.

The soil warms.

Hi！ I’m a baby leaf.

Spring is here.

I’m the first bud to sprout on my tree.

讀完了繪本，推薦你再去讀一讀美國作家巴斯卡利亞博士創(chuàng)作的繪本《一片葉子落下來》，進(jìn)行一次對比閱讀，相信你對樹葉和四季以及生命的意義會有更加深刻的理解！
