初中英语课文《猴子和老虎》

Once upon a time, a little monkey called JOE lived in the forest. He loved the forest very much and always jumped up and down to pick fruits and sent them to other animals in the forest. All of the animals in the forest loved the monkey, except the tiger, RICHARD,who lived in the forest, too. He did not like the monkey at all. He said: I will finally eat JOE one day. He always wakes up in the morning! RICHARD went to see JOE, but JOE was busy picking banana. He wanted to send these banana to the little rabbit TINA, who was sick yesterday because of a heavy rain. RICHARD reached out his arm, but he could touch JOE's tail.
Hey, JOE, get down, i will eat you!said RICHARD.
NO, I am busy picking banana to TINA, she was sick yesterday.said JOE.
Get down now, I order you! roared RICHARD.
Why do you want to eat me?asked JOE.
Because you always disturbs my sleep!answered RICHARD.
I am so sorry. But you never get up untill the noon. You are so lazy! I will always wake you up to exercise.So you will become stronger and stronger. said JEO.
RICHARD jumped again and again but could not reach JOE, so he had to leave disappointedly. As soon as RICHARD left, JOE got down and went to TINA's house and sent these banana to her. TINA was so happy.
Thank you, JEO, you are so kind. You are a brave and clever monkey. We all like you.said TINA.
JOE and TINA laughed happily. All the animals came to TINA's house and danced together.
