This is a very cute story about a humble and proactive little snail who plans ahead! I still remember my little sister coming home from preschool one day singing this song. I loved it then as I love it now! Such a sweet story with irresistable melody! Click here to print a PDF version of this free coloring page.
| 蝸牛與黃鸝鳥 園邊一座葡萄架 嫩嫩綠綠剛發芽 蝸牛背著重重的殼 一步一步的往上爬 樹上兩隻黃鸝鳥 嘻嘻哈哈在笑牠 葡萄成熟還早得很 現在你上來幹什麼 黃鳥黃鳥不要笑 等我爬上它就成熟了 |
Tale of the Snail and the Orioles A grape trellis stands by the edge of the garden The grape seed has just sprouted tender green leaves The snail carries his heavy shell Step by step he crawls up the trellis Two yellow orioles perch on a tree Heehee haha they laugh at him “There is still a long time before the grape will ripen What are you doing climbing up the trellis now?” Snail replies “Yellow oriole, yellow orioles do not laugh” When I get to the top, the grapes would be ripe by then.” |
