English Original
One day, a very hungry monkey met a turtle creeping along the road.
"My dear Slow Foot, can't you find anything for me to eat?" asked the monkey.
"Oh yes, Sly Head, I can," replied the turtle. "Come this way. There's a banana plant just over there."
Soon they reached the banana plant, which was bearing a lot of ripe fruit. The monkey climbed up, but before he could pick any bananas, the turtle cried out, "Run, Sly Head, run! Here comes a man!"
The monkey instantly climbed down and ran off in a hurry. The turtle, unable to run fast, caught the monkey's tail in her mouth, and the monkey pulled her along.
When they were safe, the monkey said, "Slow Foot, that man didn't catch you because I pulled you away."
"Oh no, Sly Head, no!" said the turtle. "You weren't pulling me. I was pushing you."
中文翻译
一天，一只非常饥饿的猴子遇到一只在路上慢慢爬行的乌龟。
“我亲爱的慢脚，你就不能给我找点吃的吗？”猴子问道。
“哦，当然可以，滑头，”乌龟回答。“这边走，那边就有一棵香蕉树。”
很快，他们来到了那棵结满成熟果实的香蕉树前。猴子爬了上去，但他还没来得及摘香蕉，乌龟就大喊：“快跑，滑头，快跑！有人来了！”
猴子立刻爬下来，匆忙跑开。乌龟跑不快，就用嘴咬住了猴子的尾巴，猴子就这样拖着她跑。
安全之后，猴子说：“慢脚，那个人没抓到你，是因为我把你拖走了。”
“哦不，滑头，不是的！”乌龟说。“你不是在拖我。是我在推你。”
