He was a laughing stock among the small animals. jiǔ 久 jiǔ 久 yǐ 以 qián 前, hái 还 bú 不 是 sēnlín zhīwánɡ 森林之王, 它 suīrán 虽然 lì 力 dà wúqiónɡ 大无 穷 què, 却 méi 没 shénme 什么 bèn, 笨 得 lián 连 xiǎo tù 兔 zi 子 dǎi 逮 bú 不 dào 到 jīnɡchánɡ, 经 bèi 被 xiǎo dònɡwùmen 动 物们 cháo 嘲 xiào 笑 A cat with a striped tail lived by a river.

3 àn zhào 按照 zuò 做 Tiger always treated Master Cat with due respect, and he often brought licacies to his teacher. If Master Cat seemed a bit tried, Tiger would ask him to take a seat and offer him tea. dōnɡ xi 东西 duì 对 māoshī 猫师 孝 fu xiàojìnɡ 敬 fēichánɡ 非 shī 师 fù jiàn 见 zūnjìnɡ 尊敬, 经 jīnɡchánɡ lěi 累 dài 带 jiù, 就 hǎochī 好吃 qǐnɡ 请 它 zuòxià 坐下, 恭 ɡōnɡjìnɡ 敬地 shànɡchá 上 茶 Cat was touched by Tiger s sincerity. He passed on all of his regular skills. On top of that, he taught him three unique moves. The first one was Mighty Tiger Comes Down the Mountain. Tiger stood on some high ground and roared, rocking the entire forest down below. xiǎomāo 猫 jiào ɡǎndònɡ 感 三 动 kān jiā, 看家 sānshǒujuézhāo dì 手绝招 第 běn 本事 yī 招 ná 拿 zhāojiào 叫 猛 chū yòu 出, 又 měnɡ hǔ xiàshān 虎下山, zhàn 站 zài 在 ɡāochù 高处 dà hǒu 大吼 shēnɡ 声 zhèndònɡ, 震 动 shānlín 山林 The second move was cald The Superb Sweep. Using his tail as a weapon, Tiger jumped up in midair, gathered all his strength and, with a

However, he was also becoming more and more arrogant and had begun to look down on his teacher. I will soon become the real king of the forest, he thought to himself. How can I still call a small cat my master? xué 学 sān 三 nián 年, ɡāoqiánɡ 高 强 qǐ 起 它 yuè yuè 越越 ào kāishǐ 骄傲, 开始 qiáo bù 瞧不 qǐ 起 xīnxiǎnɡ, 心 想 : mǎshànɡ 马 上

5 jiù 就 yàochénɡwéi 要 成 为 sēnlín zhīwánɡ zěnme 森林之王, 怎么 hái 还 nénɡ 能 shī fù 师 ne 呢? Thus Tiger racked his brains for an ia about how he could get rid of Cat. But how could his scheming fool the cver Cat? I have taught you all of my skills, Cat said. Now you may ave. 聪 dǎ zhe 打着 cōnɡmínɡ yǐ 已 zǒu 走 明 jīnɡ 经 huài zhǔ yi xiǎnɡ 坏主意, 想 suǒyǒu 所有 chájué 察觉 zhǎo 找 jī 机 huì 会 chū jiù 出, 就 ɡěi 给 chúdiào 除掉 duì 对 你, 你 shuō 说 : kě yǐ 可以 Ha, thought Tiger, now that Cat has taught me everything, and he s no match to me in strength, this is the chance I must grasp. ɡěi 给 tīnɡ 听 xīnxiǎnɡ, 心, 它 想 lì qi 力气 jì, 既 yòu 又 rán 然 méiyǒu 没有 dà 大, 肯 kěndìnɡ 定 bú 不是 duìshǒu xiànzài 对手 现在 jiù 就 是 jī 机 huì 会!

6 Master, he said, What is that behind you? As soon as Cat looked over his shoulr, Tiger apt into the air, and with his enormous jaws wi open he lunged towards his teacher. shuō 说 shī : 师 fu huítóu kuài, 快 kàn 看 回头, hòumiàn tū 突 后 rán 然 面 是 ɡāo ɡāo 高高 shénme 什么? tiào 跳 qǐ 起 zhānɡ, 张 kāi 开 xuèpén dà kǒu xiànɡ 血盆大口, 向 pū qù 扑去 But Cat was fully prepared. He swiftly climbed up a giant tree. Tiger, he said furiously, how ungrateful you are!i taught you my skills, and now you want to eat me! Luckily I didn t teach you to climb trees. shùshanɡ 树 上 méiyǒu 没有 hǎoxīn 好心 zǎo 早 shēnɡ qì, 生 jiào yǒu 有 气 你 pá shù 爬树 地 fánɡbèi chī liū 防备, 哧溜 shuō 说 :, 你, 你 què 却 yí ɡěi 给 xià 下 yào 要 zhēn pá dào 爬到 真是 chī 吃 你! 忘 ɡāo ɡāo 高高 wànɡ ēn 恩 fù 负 xìnɡkuī! 幸亏 义

7 No matter how hard he tried, Tiger could not reach Cat. Aww! Aww! he roared in vain. But he had not arnt to climb and stood no chance of catching his cver teacher. Downcast, he had to go home. zěnme 怎么 yě 也 ɡòu bu zháo 够不着 qì, 气 áo 嗷 áo 嗷 dà hǒu 大吼 dàn 但 它 méiyǒu 没有 xuédào 学到 pá shù 爬树 ɡēnběn, 根本 zhuā bú dào 抓不到 zhǐhǎo, 只好 huīliū 灰溜 liū 溜 地 huí jiā 回家
