Champion 冠军

Today, I was at school. It was the Chinese Storytelling Competition and my friend and I were in the race! I dashed up the stairs quickly. I didn't want to be late for the competition! When I got up, the others were just reading 弟子规.

I was glad I wasn't late for the competition. I plopped down on the floor. I began to read with them, '' 弟子规,圣人训,首孝弟,次谨信......'' Finally we finished reading. As we stood up, it started to get noisy. '' Okay, 今天早上班的同学要在这里课外活动,所以等一下才有讲故事比赛。'' , said one of the teachers. So we went back to the class. After that, we went to the auditorium. I was very happy because the day before today, the students from standard one had their race in the assembly hall. I walked to the front row with my friend. So after three stories it was my turn. I got a little nervous as I walked up the stage. I took a deep breath and waited for the prefect to adjust the microphone. When the prefect finished adjusting the microphone, I started to tell my story:

“有一天,老虎走到森林边,看见一头驴在那儿吃草。可是老虎不知道那是什么东西,因为它没见过驴,就很小心的走近驴。

驴一抬头,看见老虎走到自己身边,吓了一跳。可是它马上镇静下来,抬起头对着大老虎说:“好一只肥大的老虎!我昨天吃掉的那只太瘦了,今天还没有吃到老虎,正饿得慌,就有老虎自动送到嘴边,我可真有口福!”

老虎一听,吓得扭头就跑,差点撞翻一只狐狸。

“哎哟喂呀,大王!”狐狸从地方爬起来喊:“您那么匆忙的跑什么呀?”
( At this part everyone laughed because I used a squeaky voice. )

老虎喘着气说:“快点跑吧!森林边上有个长脸大耳朵的家伙要吃我呢!”

狐狸一听,差点笑出声来。“大王,您说的是驴吧?那是天下最无能的东西,怎么能吃您呢?”
 ( At this part everyone laughed again. )

老虎怀疑的问到:“你说的是真的?”狐狸回答:“哎唷,我怎能骗大王呢?要不咱们回去看看。”

老虎仍不放心的说:“不,不,你想把我带到那儿,让它吃了我,然后自己逃走吗?” 狐狸建议把它们的尾巴栓在一起,老虎同意了。于是,它们将尾巴结实的栓在一块儿,向驴那边走去。

驴吓跑了老虎,以为说没事了。这会儿又看见狐狸和老虎一起来了,知道是狐狸出了坏点子。驴心里有了主意,当狐狸和老虎接近它的时候,它就用洪亮的嗓门说:“狐狸先生,你可真守信用,昨天送来的老虎有点瘦,我让你以后送只肥的来,今天果然送来了。你放心,我会把吃剩的给你一些。”

老虎一听,吓得魂都没了,任凭狐狸怎么叫喊,老虎也不停下来。最后,狐狸的头撞在石头上,不一会儿就死了。

同学们,这个故事告诉我们,当我们遇到危险时,应该冷静应对,才能更好的保护自己。

我的故事讲完了。谢谢。”

My story was over. So after 6 stories I was getting tired. Finally it was story 18, my friend's turn. Her story was 青蛙国王. When she finished her story I was starting to yawn. when the 'stories' were over it was time for the prizes. When they got to number 2, I thought that it would never be me. " 下一个是第几名?" asked the teacher. " 第一名!!!" we shouted. I heard some students chanting.

" 第一名的同学是 二J 班的陈予洁同学!" she announced. I was shocked. Was it really me?!?!  I thought. So I walked up the stage. I was extremely happy. I went down the stage with the other winners. The End!
