第12课  小鸭叫嘎嘎(Little Duck Says Quack)

Once a little yellow duck went for a walk.

As it went along the roud,it met a gray kitten.

"Mew,mew,"said the kitten.

"Oh!"said the little duck.

What a pretty way to talk!

I wish I could talk that way.

But little duck could not say mew.

All that was not pretty at all.

The little yellow duck went on down the roud.

Soon it came to a big brown dog.

“Bow-wow,"said the dog.

"Oh!"said the little duck.

What a prtty way to talk!

I wish I could talk that way.

But it could not say "bow-wow."

All the little duck could say was b-ack,b-ack.

And that was not pretty at all.

The little yellow duck went on.

By and by it saw a pretty bird.

“Tweet,tweet,”said the bird.

"Oh!"said the little duck.

What a pretty way to talk!

I wish I could talk that way.

But the little duck found that it could not say "tweet,tweet".

All little duck could say was "tyrack,tyrack."

And that was not pretty at all.

Little yellow duck was not happy.

It could not say "mew,mew."

It could not say"bow-wow."

It could not say"tweet,tweet".

So the little duck went home.

Mother duck saw it coming."Quack,quack",said Mother Duck.

"Oh!"said Little Duck.

That is a very pretty way to talk.

I think I will talk that way,too.

And little yellow duck found that it could say "quack,quack"very well.
