I’ll show you.But let’s find a new place for you.I’ve caught all the fish here.” “我用我的尾巴钓到的。我会教你，但是让我为你重新找个地方。我觉得我已经把这里的鱼钓光了。” So Fox led Bear to a different place and cut out a new hole. 于是狐狸带着大熊来到了一个不一样的地方，然后又凿了一个新的洞。 “Here is your new hole, Bear,”said Fox. 狐狸说道：“这是你的新的洞，大熊。” “Turn around and dip your tail into the water.Soon a fish will grab it.” “转过身去，把你的尾巴放到水里去。一会就会有鱼抓住它的，” Bear turned his back to the holeand dipped his beautiful tail into the water. 大熊背对着洞口，然后把他那美丽的尾巴浸到水里。 “I cannot see the hole.How will I know if I catch a fish? ”asked Bear. “我看不见那个洞。我怎么才能知道自己有没有抓到鱼呢？”大熊问道。 Fox said,“I will hide over there so the fish don’t see me.” 狐狸说，“我会藏到那边，这样鱼就看不见我了。” When I see a fish grab your tail, I will shout to you. 当我看见有鱼咬住你尾巴，我就会朝你喊一声。 Then you can pull the fish out of the water. 这样你就可以把鱼从水里拉出来了。 “Don’t move until I tell you to.” “在我告诉你之前，不要动啊。” Bear nodded his head. 大熊点了点头。 So Bear waited and waited. 于是大熊等啊等啊。 He was very tired. 他太累了。 Soon he fell asleep. 一会就进入梦乡了。 Bear slept all day and all night. 大熊睡了一天一夜。 His tail got colder and colder. 他的尾巴越来越冷。 The ice got thicker and thicker. 冰结得越来越厚。 Bear slept and slept. 大熊睡啊睡啊。 Fox waited by the tree. 狐狸在树旁等待。 He waited until Bear had slept all night long. 他等啊等啊，直到大熊睡了一整夜。 At last it was time. 最后，时机到了。 Fox crept up to Bear’s ear and shouted,“NOW, BEAR!!” 狐狸爬到大熊的耳旁，然后大吼道，“就是现在，大熊！！” Bear woke up and pulled his tail, but it wouldn’t move. 大熊醒来，拉自己的尾巴，但是尾巴一动也不动。 “Pull harder,”said Fox. “再使点劲儿拉，”狐狸说道。 “It must be a HUGE fish.” “这一定是一条超大的鱼！” Bear pulled and pulled, until…SNAP! 大熊拉呀拉呀，直到……“吧嗒”一声！ Bear turned around to see the huge fish he caught. 大熊转过身去看看自己钓到的超大的鱼。 But that is not what he saw. 但是他看到的却是另外的情景。 “My tail,”cried Bear. “我的尾巴，”大熊哭喊着。 “My big, beautiful tail!” “我的大大的，美丽的尾巴！” The fishing hole was gone. 钓鱼的洞不见了。 There in the ice was Bear’s tail. 冰里面的是大熊的尾巴。 The water had frozen while Bear slept, and his tail was stuck in the ice. 大熊睡觉的时候水结冰了，大熊的尾巴被卡在里面。
