小学英语阅读之第十六篇

　　It was winter with cold air and strong wind. A seed was still lying down in the bulb under the ground covered with snow. One day, it was raining, and the raindrops that soaked into the thick ground, touched the bulb and told stories of the world above the ground. Soon, the sunlight passed through, shone on the frozen ground and tickled the bulb

　　"Welcome." A seed said. "I am not strong enough to open your door and walk in, but in summer, I can." The sunlight said. "When does summer come?" Whenever the sunlight came down, the flower asked the same question, but summer was still too

　　far away. There was snow on the ground, and the well was frozen hard at night.

　　"Oh, how much longer do I have to wait? I feel impatient. I want to go out. How glad I will be!" When the seed stretched in the bulb, the thin skin of the bulb was split. It was where the sunlight reached before. Green stems, a flower bud and leaves began to grow through the ground under the snow. There was still snow on the ground, but the flower could come out because the sunlight already passed through the ground.

　　"Welcome, come on!" The sunlight shouted. The bud stuck out her head of the ground covered with snow and saw the bright world. As the sunlight touched and kissed the bud, it started to open. It was a flower white as snow with thin green stripes. The flower lowered her head with a asant look and with modesty.

　　As soon as they saw the flower, the rays of sunlight said, "Oh, how beautiful you are! You are so full of life and pure. You are the first flower. Soon, snow will melt away, and the cold wind will stop. When we have control here, the whole world will turn green. And you will find your friends soon." It was such a big asure. The flower was so fragile and delicate that it seemed to be easy to break her down, but she was dazzlingly beautiful and kept singing for the coming summer.

　　But still it was far away from summer. The cloud hid the sun, and the strong wind blew hard. The cloud and the wind shouted to the flower. "You came out too early. We are still strong enough. It is not the right time to decorate yourself and walk around." "You will be broken. You will be frozen and dried to death. You were deceived by the temptation of the sun and bloomed too early. You are such a fool of summer which bloomed in winter."

　　It got colder, and there was not a single ray of sunlight in the dark sky even though many days had passed. She could freeze and die. But her faith that summer would come soon grew stronger and stronger. Even when cold snowflakes came down heavily, and ice-cold winds blew hard, she just lowered her head, and stood there in her white dress.

　　Then, children came out and shouted when they found the Anemone. "Wow, this is a fool of summer." It is not strange what they said. 'Anemone' means 'a fool of summer' in Danish.

　　"She is so beautiful and elegant. This is the first flower of this year and also the only flower in this garden. "The children said. The Anemone was so happy that she did not even know that they had pulled her up. One girl picked up and kissed the flower. She brought it to her house and put it in a vase. Anemone had the illusion that summer came because the air was so fresh and warm.

　　There was a custom that young peo used to give and take their poems with the first Anemone of the year. The girl's boyfriend was staying in a big city for his studying. Inside of the envelope it was as dark as inside of the bulb. The letter set out for the journey in a mail bag, and the Anemone got to the final destination in the end after several times of being squeezed and squashed.

　　The boy who received the letter was so happy, kissed the Anemone and put her in a drawer of his desk with the letter. There were many letters in the drawer, but only one letter had the Anemone. The Anemone was veut happy. She stayed in the drawer even after summer and long winter passed by.

　　When summer came again, the boy took out the letter again. This time, he crumd it harshly and threw it away on the floor of his room. The Anemone fell down to the floor from the impact. That's because the girl had another boyfriend. Even though the flower was dry and faded, she felt sad when she was treated that way.

　　The next morning, the sunlight came through the window and shone on the faded the 'fool of summer'. Then, a maid came into the room and found the flower. She put it in one of the books in the desk. The flower stayed inside the book with poems again, but those poems were much greater and more valuable than before.

　　Many years passed, and the book sometimes was taken out from the bookcase and read by someone. It was the book of a famous Danish poet. One day, a man was reading the book and shouted. "Oh, is this an anemone, a fool of summer? This poet was also a fool of summer who was ahead of his own age. Everybody used to laugh at him long ago, but he is the best poet of Denmark now. You look nice with this book!"

　　The Anemone was put in the book again. She was happy and proud of herself about how she was kept in that book of the poet. He was also a fool of summer who was standing firmly in the middle of cold winter dreaming summer just like the Anemone.

　　银莲花

　　那是一个寒冷的空气和强风的冬天。一颗种子仍躺在灯泡下，地面被雪覆盖着。有一天，天在下雨，雨水浸湿了厚厚的土地，触动了灯泡，讲述了地上的世界的故事。不久，阳光穿过，照射在冻土上，使灯泡发痒。

　　“欢迎。”一个种子说。“我还不够强壮，不能打开你的门进去，但在夏天，我可以。”阳光说。夏天什么时候来？”每当太阳落下时，花儿问同样的问题，但夏天仍然如此。

　　远。地上有雪，井在夜里冻得很硬。

　　“哦，我还要等多久？”我感到不耐烦了。我想出去。我多么高兴啊！当种子在鳞茎中伸展时，鳞茎的薄皮就裂开了。那是阳光照到的地方。绿色的茎、花蕾和叶子开始在雪地下生长。地上仍然有雪，但花朵可以出来，因为阳光已经穿过地面。

　　“欢迎，加油！”阳光喊道。蓓蕾伸出她那铺满白雪的地面，看到了光明的世界。当阳光接触并亲吻花蕾时，它开始开放。那花像雪一样白，有绿色的条纹。那朵花低垂着头，带着愉快的表情和谦逊。

　　他们一看到这朵花，阳光就说：“哦，你真漂亮！你是如此的充满活力和纯洁。你是第一朵花。不久，雪就会融化，寒风也会停止。当我们在这里有了控制，整个世界都会变绿。你会很快找到你的朋友的。花是如此的脆弱，似乎很容易打破了她，但她鲜艳夺目，为夏天的到来一直歌唱。

　　但它仍然远离夏天。乌云遮住了太阳，狂风猛烈地刮着。云和风对花儿喊道。你出来太早了。我们仍然足够坚强。现在不是装饰自己走动的时候。你将被冻干至死。你被太阳的诱惑所欺骗，花得太早了。你真是个夏天的傻瓜，冬天开花。”

　　天气变冷了，即使在许多天过去了，黑暗的天空中也没有一丝阳光。她会冻死。但她坚信夏天即将到来的信念变得越来越强烈。即使冰冷的雪花重重地落下来，冰冷的风猛烈地吹着，她还是低下头，站在那里，穿着白色的连衣裙。

　　后来，孩子们发现了银莲花，就出来喊了起来。哇，这真是个愚蠢的夏天。“他们说的并不奇怪。”银莲花在丹麦是“夏天的傻瓜”。

　　“她是如此的美丽和优雅。这是今年的第一朵花，也是这个花园里唯一的花。孩子们说。银莲花高兴极了，甚至不知道它们把她拉上来了。一个女孩拾起并吻了花。她把它拿到家里，放在花瓶里。海葵以为夏天来了，因为空气新鲜而温暖。

　　有一种习俗，年轻人习惯于用中的第一支银莲花来给他们的诗歌送上诗歌。女孩的男朋友因为学习而留在大城市。信封里面的灯泡和灯泡里面一样黑。信在旅行袋里开始了旅行， 后几次被挤压和挤压后，海葵终于到达了 后的目的地。

　　收到信的男孩非常高兴，吻了银莲花，把她放在他书桌的抽屉里。抽屉里有许多信件，但只有一封信有银莲花。海葵是veut高兴。夏天过后，漫长的冬天过去了，她就呆在抽屉里。

　　夏天又来了，男孩又把信拿了出来。这一次，他狠狠地把它揉皱，扔到他房间的地板上。海葵从撞击中掉到了地板上。那是因为那个女孩有另一个男朋友。尽管花儿已干枯凋谢，但当她受到那样的对待时，她却感到悲伤。

　　第二天早晨，阳光透过窗户照到了褪了色的“夏日傻瓜”。然后，一个女仆走进房间，发现了花。她把它放在书桌上的一本书上。花又在诗歌中停留，但这些诗比以前更大更有价值。

　　许多年过去了，这本书有时被从书架上拿出来，由某人阅读。这是一本丹麦著名诗人的书。一天，一个男人在看书，大声叫道。哦，这是银莲花，夏天的傻瓜吗？这个诗人也是一个超前于自己年龄的傻瓜。大家都笑他很久以前，他是丹麦 好的诗人。你看这本书很好看！”

　　银莲花又被放进书里了。她为自己被保存在那位诗人的书中而感到高兴和自豪。他也是一个夏天的傻瓜，站在冰冷的冬天里，像银莲花一样，在梦中度过夏天。
