日课|英文故事:The Apple Thief
The Apple Thief
Mom loved apples. She liked to bake pie. She liked to put them in oatmeal. She liked to eat them right off the tree.
Mom and Maria lived on a farm. They had horses and cows. They had a lot of land. One day, she planted an apple tree. “Now, we can have fresh apples,” she told Maria.
First, the tree had flowers. Then it had little green apples. Finally, the apples were red and ripe. “Tomorrow, we will pick them,” said Mom.
But the next morning, all the apples were gone. “Did you pick the apples?” Mom asked Maria.
“No,” said Maria.
“Then where are they?”
They looked and looked. Then, they saw their black pony. She was lying down. Her tummy was swollen. She looked very full. “Look who ate the apples!” said Mom.

妈妈和玛丽亚住在农场。他们有马和牛,有很多土地。一天,她种了一棵苹果树。“现在,我们有新鲜苹果吃了。”她告诉玛丽亚。
起先,苹果树开了花。然后它长出了小绿苹果。最后,苹果红了成熟了。“明天,我们来摘苹果。”妈妈说。
但是第二天早上,所有的苹果都不见了。“你摘苹果了吗?”妈妈问玛丽亚。
“没有。”玛丽亚说。
“那他们去哪儿了呢?”
他们找了又找。然后,他们看到了他们的黑色小马。她躺在那儿。她的肚子胀胀的,看上去很饱。“看谁吃了苹果!”妈妈说。
