He felt bad for them.Ox lived in heaven, too. Ox was a hard worker. Ox was honest. The Emperor trustedOx to help him.“Ox!” called the Emperor. “Go down to the people. Tell them that they must work hard. Then they can have one meal every three days.”“Yes, I’ll do it right away!” said Ox.Ox started to run. He ran and ran and ran. He ran so far that he forgot what he had to say. Was it something about three meals and one day?Finally, Ox got to the people.He told them, “You must work hard. Then you can have three meals each day.”The people cheered. They began to work. They worked and worked and worked. Even when they were tired, they worked.The Emperor asked Ox, “What did you tell them?”“I told them to work hard. Then they would get three meals a day,” answered Ox.“No!” said the Emperor. “It was one meal every three days!”The Emperor remembered something.Ox was a hard worker. Ox was honest. But Ox was not good at talking to others.“What can I do?” the Emperor worried. “The people can’t work hard enough. They won’t make enough food. Not by themselves. They will think that I lied.”The Emperor got angry. He wanted Ox to pay for his mistake.He kept Ox in the human world.Ox had to help the people. He helped with farm work. He helped grow food. The people were able to eat three meals a day!The Emperor never let Ox back into heaven. That is why oxen still work hard in the fields today.Question: What is something that you have to work hard to achieve? 核心词汇 tough adj. 艰苦的，困难的 Emperor of Heaven 天帝 trust v, 信任 cheer v. 欢呼; 使高兴; 为…喝彩 honest adj. 诚实的 mistake n. 错误，过失，误解 He ran so far that he forgot what he had to say. 他跑的太快以至 于他忘记了他该说的话。本句中 so…that…句式的意思是如 此……以至于……，what 引导的宾语从句作为动词 forgot 的宾 语。 以下翻译来自百度翻译： 牛也住在天堂里。牛是个勤劳的工人。牛是诚实的。皇帝相信多克斯会帮助他。“牛！”皇帝喊道。“到人民那里去。告诉他们必须努力工作。这样他们就可以每三天吃一顿饭。”牛开始跑了。他跑啊跑啊跑。他跑得太远，忘了该说什么。是关于三餐一天的事吗？他告诉他们：“你必须努力工作，然后你可以每天吃三顿饭。”人们欢呼起来。他们开始工作。他们工作，工作，工作。即使累了，他们也在工作。“我告诉他们要努力工作。然后他们一天可以吃三顿饭，”牛回答。牛是个勤劳的工人。牛是诚实的。但牛不善于与人交谈。“我能做什么？”皇帝担心。“人们工作不够努力。他们不会制造足够的食物。不是靠他们自己。他们会认为我撒谎。”皇帝生气了。他想让牛为他的错误付出代价。他把牛养在人间。牛不得不帮助人们。他帮助做农活。他帮助种植粮食。人们一天能吃三顿饭！皇帝从不让牛回天堂。这就是为什么牛今天还在地里辛勤劳作的原因。
