I m good at that I ll do tumbling said Polar Bear No one tumbles quite like me I ll do singing said Seal Everyone says I have a very fine voice Then I ll do diving said Whale I won a prize for diving at school you know They all looked at Walrus What will YOU do they asked But Walrus was not good at anything He wasn t good at skating and he wasn t good at tumbling He was terrible at singing and when he tried to dive he always got water up his nose He sat and chewed his whiskers sadly Never mind said Arctic Fox You can watch us Arctic Fox and Polar Bear and Seal and Whale practised hard for the big show Walrus hid behind a snowdrift and watched and chewed his whiskers He wished he was good at something 2 The big night At last the big night arrived Everyone sat down and waited for the show to begin Walrus sat in the front row He was very excited Fox came onto the ice and bowed Everyone cheered Then Fox began to skate Fox skated forwards and backwards and sideways She skated in perfect circles and figures of eight She was elegant and amazing Walrus watched and he loved what he saw Fox made it all look so easy Walrus was sure that if he really tried he could skate just like Fox He couldn t stop himself He just had to leap onto the ice and join in with Fox I can skate he cried Look at me But Walrus couldn t skate at all He could only trip up and fall over He bumped into Fox and Fox went flat on her face FLOMP Fox was very upset Walrus has RUINED my act she wailed Next it was Polar Bear s turn He rolled out across the ice like a big white snowball Everyone clapped wildly Then Polar Bear began to tumble He did jumps and spins and somersaults and stood on his head Walrus watched and he loved what he saw Polar Bear made it all look such fun Walrus was sure that this time if he really tried he could tumble just like Polar Bear All of a sudden Walrus just couldn t stop himself and he leaped onto the ice I can tumble too he cried Look at me But Walrus couldn t tumble at all He could only trip up and fall over He tripped up Polar Bear who came down with a WALLOP Of course Polar Bear was pretty angry Walrus has RUINED my act he wailed 3 From bad to worse 典范英语

the night Walrus listened What a beautiful song Surely if he really tried he could sing as beautifully as Seal Oh dear Walrus just couldn t stop himself again I know that song he cried I can sing it too He leaped up and started singing along with Seal But Walrus couldn t sing He sounded terrible In fact he sounded like a rusty old bucket Seal stopped singing and burst into floods of tears Walrus has RUINED my song she wailed Wale was last He was pretty certain that Walrus could not ruin his act Whale leaped high out of the water Then he fell back with an enormous splash Walrus watched He wished that he could dive like that His flippers began to twitch and his whiskers bristled with excitement He tried and tried his very best not to join in But then he had a brilliant idea I ll hold my nose when I dive he thought Then the water won t go up it Walrus just couldn t stop himself He had to join in Everybody look at me he cried as he leaped into the water I can dive too But just at that moment Whale was getting ready to spout a big jet of water WHOOSH Whale spouted Walrus high into the air Everyone was watching Walrus now They clapped and cheered as Walrus landed back in the sea with a SPLOSH Whale was furious You are a meddling incompetent BUFFOON he roared You have RUINED my act Now GET OUT OF MY SIGHT Whale was pretty scary when he was angry Walrus turned tail and fled He hid behind a snowdrift feeling sad and very sorry 4 The show will go on The show was over Fox and Polar Bear and Seal and Whale stood in a line blushing and wishing that Walrus had not ruined everything But everyone was cheering like mad Well done Polar Bear well done Seal Well done Fox and Whale they shouted But where s the clown Why isn t he here Where s Walrus Behind is snowdrift Walrus heard the cheers Were they really cheering for him too Yes They were He shuffled up to Fox and Polar Bear and Seal And Whale I m very sorry he said So you should be said Fox At least everyone thought you were part of the show said Polar Bear I suppose said Seal if Walrus was really part of our next show it couldn t be any worse Walrus was overjoyed Me he cried Truly Can I be part of the show Can I join in next time Yes said Whale It will be a lot safer that way You can be the clown As long as you do it properly Walrus practiced hard and became a very good clown indeed Now he is so good that 典范英语 7 3
