　　In the Amazon forest, there once lived tigers up to a meter long, with large tails and yellow fur with circular spots.

　　在亚马逊丛林中，曾经住着一群个个高达一米的老虎，它们拖着长尾巴，黄色皮毛上布满圆形斑点。

　　They were considered in this region to be the kings of the jungle, similar to the lions, who are the kings of the African Savannas.

　　在这片区域，它们和热带草原上的霸主狮子们一样，被视作丛林之王。

　　One day, a big tiger walked alone to find some food when he bumped into a small monkey that was out looking for sweet bananas.

　　一天，一头雄壮的老虎独自外出觅食，撞见了一只正在寻找甜香蕉的小猴子。

　　The fun monkey measured only thirty centimeters long and had a white face with fur of the same color and a spiral tail.

　　这只有趣的猴子不过三十厘米高，脸和皮毛都是白色的，还长了一条卷卷的尾巴。

　　As soon as the tiger saw the monkey, he circled the small animal and opened his mouth to show his big teeth, which smelled really bad.

　　这只老虎一看到小猴子，就绕着它转了一圈，还张开味道很难闻的大嘴，露出长长的牙齿。

　　Without fear, the little money confronted the tiger and smiled; saying, "You can't eat me old tiger because I am the king of the jungle."

　　但小猴子却一点也不害怕，它对着老虎微微一笑，说道，“你不能吃我，老家伙，因为我是丛林之王。”

　　The tiger looked at him in surprise and then began to laugh. "HA HA HA! You? The king?" said the tiger. "Don't be ridiculous. Prove it to me!"

　　老虎惊讶地盯着它，开始大笑。“哈哈哈!你?丛林之王?”老虎说道，“不要瞎扯了，有本事证明一下!”

　　The monkey looked confident and said to the tiger, "If you want, let's walk through the jungle, amongst the birds, reptiles and mammals. You'll see that no animal will dare touch me."

　　小猴子看起来信心满满。它对老虎说，“如果你愿意的话，咱们在丛林里走一走，到鸟类、爬行动物和哺乳动物面前去，你会看到没有动物敢接近我。”

　　The tiger accepted the amusing challenge, and after walking behind the monkey for more than half an hour.

　　老虎接受了这个有趣的挑战，在猴子后面走了半个多小时。

　　He confirmed that all of the birds, reptiles, and mammals of the region ran to hid once the pair showed up.

　　它确实发现，一旦它俩一起出现，这里的鸟类、爬行动物和哺乳动物全都跑着躲起来。

　　The tiger also ran away to hide, convinced that the monkey was the real king of the jungle.

　　甚至连老虎见了也这样，于是这只老虎便相信小猴子才是真正的丛林之王。
