武太白·白话英语·总目录合集（2016-2020）
朋友们都知道，昨天我发了一条音频消息，名字也叫“The Naughty Mole”，就这样：
01 The Naughty Mole
事实上，这是A Child's First Library of Values（孩子的第一套品德书）的第一个故事。这个系列总共15本小书，每一本都讲了一个有关小朋友基础品德的故事，比如这第一个故事，讲的就是关于“服从”（即我们大人口中的“听话”）obedience的事情。
昨天的音频消息，是没有对照英文的，我只是写了一条简介在上面：
家长千叮咛、万嘱咐，淘气的小鼹鼠还是独自跑出去滑冰玩了，结果出了事故，要不是兔子父子经过，他说不定就真的淹死了。小老鼠看到了整个经过，把这件事告诉了出来找孩子的鼹鼠爸妈，一家这才团圆。这个故事告诉我们，小朋友一定要听大人的话，不然真的会很危险的！
不过，这毕竟是全英文朗读的故事，如果完全不给对照文字，那么小朋友们的进步就会打折扣。我想来想去，决定今天出一个新的、带对照文字的版本，并且，今后我都要这样，先放音频和简介，然后放对照文字版，最后再加一两道理解题。
为了这些对照文字，我可是下了大功夫！我这是全网独家文本，好不容易吭哧吭哧听写出来的。所以，请多帮转！

A Child's First Library of Values
The Naughty Mole
The cold, snowy days of winter have arrived, but inside the mole’s house, it is warm and peaceful.
“Let's all have a long sleep -- until the warm spring comes again,” say Mr and Mrs mole.
Everybody in the mole family is tucked up in their beds -- except Ben, that is. Ben doesn't feel even a little bit sleepy.
“It's boring to go to bed. I want to stay up and play.” “Be quiet, Ben. Your noise is keeping us all awake,” says his father. “I'm sorry,” says Ben. Ben goes quietly back to bed, but he has a plan.
As soon as everyone is asleep, Ben packs a small bag and sneaks out of the house.
“Wow! It's all white,” he says. As he sets out on his adventure, Ben leaves deep footprints in the snow behind him.
“Whee --” Ben slides down the hill and slips around in the snow. He is having so much fun, he doesn't even notice the big snowflakes falling around him. The crisp new snow is just right for building a snowman. Ben gives his snowman some eyes, and adds a mouth. By the time Ben finishes, he feels very cold. He wants to go back to his cozy, warm house. But when he looks back, he sees that the falling snow has covered up his footprints. He can't find his way home. Ben wanders along miserably. Even though the snow is no longer falling, he doesn't recognize anything. And his home feels a long way away.
Then he sees a young mouse skating likely across an icy pond.
“Hello, my name is Ben, what's yours?” “I'm Tess. Do you like my skating?” “Skating looks fun,” says ben. “I think I'll try it.”
He slides carefully onto the ice. Soon he reaches the middle of the pond. But just he is about to make a turn, the ice under his feet begins to creak and crack.
“Splash!” Ben falls through the hole in the ice, into the freezing water below. “Help!” cries Ben. “It’s sooo-- cold!”
Luckily, Mr rabbit and his son are collecting firewood nearby. They hear Ben's cry and rush to help him.
“Quick! Catch the rope!”
Mr rabbit wraps the shivering Ben in a blanket and lifts him onto their sledge. They set off for the rabbit’s home, just as the sun begins to set. The rabbit family hangs Ben’s clothes up to dry and leaves him to sleep beside a roaring fire.
“He's so tired,” says Mrs rabbit. “When he wakes up, we will find out where he lives and take him home.”
Back at home, Mr and Mrs mole discover that Ben is missing.
“But it's so cold outside,” his mother cries. She lights some lanterns and the whole family sets off in search of ben. They are all really worried about him. After a while, they come to the house of Mr Mouse. “Sorry to disturb you,” says mister mole, “we're looking for our son, Ben. We are worried that he is lost in the snow.”
“I know where he is,” says Tess. She tells them about skating on the pond and Ben’s rescue by Mr Rabbit. “Hurry, we must go to the Rabbit house at once,” says Mrs.
Mole.
“Ben! Thank goodness, you are all right!” says Mrs Mole, giving him a big hug.
“We were all so worried about you.”
The mole family thanks the rabbit family for their kindness. Nobody scolds Ben for causing so much trouble.
“I'm sorry, I didn't do as I was told, mom,” says Ben.
“I promise never to be so selfish again.”
