Little Fox One fine day,
2
a greedy dog took a walk.
3
He saw something in the grass.
4
Oh, it's a bone.
5
I love bones, he said.
6
What a lucky day.
7
Lucky day, lucky day.
8
How will I cook my new bone, he said.
9
Will I smoke it?
10
No. Will I boil it?
11
No. Will I fry it?
12
No way!
13
I will eat it as it is.
14
That is the best way to eat a delicious bone.
15
Lulu la la, Lulu la la.
16
He danced.
17
Oh, what if another dog sees me?
18
He said.
19
No, I will not!
20
I will not share my bone!
21
It is all mine!
22
Hmm, where can I hide my bone?
23
He looked around and quickly left the park.
24
He ran and ran.
25
Finally, he ran onto a bridge.
26
Phew!
27
Now my bone is safe, he thought.
28
The greedy dog was very tired,
29
so he rested on the bridge.
30
He looked down into the stream.
31
Hey, who is that?
32
He thought.
33
That dog has a bone too!
34
Hmm, his bone is bigger than mine.
35
And his bone still has meat on it.
36
The greedy dog wanted the other bone too.
37
Woof woof!
38
Gimme that bone!
39
He said.
40
Oh!
41
My bone!
42
It is gone!
43
Woof woof!
44
But it was too late.
45
His bone fell into the deep stream.
46
Once upon a time, there was a miser.
47
The miser loved gold, but he hated to spend it.
48
He just liked looking at it and keeping it for himself.
49
One day, the miser decided to bury his gold.
50
He dug a big hole in his garden.
51
Then he carefully put his gold in the hole.
52
Gold, you are all mine, the miser said.
53
No one except me knows where you are.
54
The miser laughed and did a funny dance.
55
Every day the miser went back to his garden.
56
He dug up his treasure and stared at the beautiful gold coins.
57
He watched them shine in the sunlight.
58
And every day the miser said the same thing.
59
Oh, no one except me knows where you are.
60
Then he laughed and did a funny dance.
61
One day, a thief was passing by the miser's garden.
62
He heard the miser laughing.
63
Why is that miser so happy?
64
The thief wondered.
65
He peeked over the fence.
66
He saw the miser hiding his gold, saying, Gold?
67
No one except me knows where you are.
68
Now I know where your gold is too, the thief thought.
69
He grinned greedily and rubbed his hands together.
70
That night, the thief returned to the garden with a shovel.
71
Quickly, he dug up the gold and hurried off.
72
The next day, the miser went to his garden.
73
He dug and dug in the ground but found no gold.
74
What?
75
No!
76
This cannot be!
77
The miser shouted.
78
My gold is gone!
79
Several villagers heard the miser shouting and came running.
80
What happened? a woman asked.
81
My gold!
82
Someone stole all my gold!
83
The miser cried.
84
Where was it? the woman asked.
85
I buried it here in the garden, the miser explained.
86
Every day I dug it up and looked at it.
87
And every day I put it right back in this hole.
88
The villagers shook their heads sadly.
89
They all knew the man was a miser.
90
They all knew he loved gold.
91
Did you ever take any gold out?
92
An old man asked.
93
Did you ever spend it?
94
Oh no, I only came to look at it, the miser said.
95
Then I buried it again.
96
So?
97
The old man shrugged.
98
You can still come and look at this empty hole every day.
99
You didn't spend your riches.
100
That's the same thing as having no riches at all.
101
Mel?
102
George and Mabel lived on a small farm.
103
Though they had little, they were happy.
104
But one year the weather was hot and dry.
105
Very few crops grew.
106
Even their last chicken died.
107
George looked at the vegetables and sighed.
108
We don't have much to sell at the market this year.
109
That means a very hard winter, Mabel.
110
Mabel looked nervous.
111
I hope we'll be okay.
112
At the market, George sold his vegetables for a few coins.
113
By the time he reached home,
114
he was even more worried.
115
This money will not last long, he thought.
116
Honk!
117
What's that?
118
George thought.
119
Honk!
120
George followed the noise to the empty chicken coop.
121
He saw a goose.
122
Where did you come from?
123
George asked.
124
Just then, something shiny caught his eye.
125
George looked in the coop.
126
He saw an egg.
127
He picked it up and his eyes went wide.
128
It wasn't just any egg.
129
It was a golden egg.
130
Mabel!
131
He cried as he ran inside.
132
We don't have to worry anymore!
133
Mabel looked at him confused.
134
What?
135
George showed her the egg.
136
Tears of joy filled Mabel's eyes.
137
We'll have food and fuel for the winter.
138
The next day, the goose laid another golden egg.
139
George was thrilled.
140
If the goose lays more golden eggs, we'll be rich.
141
You can buy new clothes.
142
We can build a huge house.
143
Now, now, Mabel said.
144
We don't need any of that.
145
We've lived just fine the way we are.
146
These two eggs will be a huge help.
147
That night, George kept thinking of the goose.
148
Surely it would lay more golden eggs.
149
I could get jewels for Mabel, he thought.
150
And some fancy shoes for myself and...
151
George sat up in bed.
152
I'll open the goose's belly.
153
Then I can get all the eggs at once.
154
George slipped outside.
155
Inside the coop, the goose was sleeping.
156
George reached for the goose and...
157
Honk, honk!
158
Suddenly, the goose bit George's arm.
159
Ouch!
160
George cried.
161
The goose flapped its wings and chased George.
162
Honk!
163
Honk!
164
George tripped and fell on his face.
165
When he looked up, he saw the goose flying away.
166
Mabel ran outside.
167
What's going on?
168
George told Mabel what happened.
169
He hung his head in shame.
170
The goose could have helped us a lot.
171
But now, because of me, we lost it.
172
Maple sighed.
173
Oh, George.
174
Bad things happen when people become greedy.
175
Once upon a time, there lived an old fisherman and his wife.
176
They lived in a modest hut on a small island.
177
Every day, the fisherman went fishing with his net.
178
Usually, he did not catch many fish,
179
but one day, his luck changed.
180
Oh, my!
181
The fisherman exclaimed as he started to haul in his heavy net.
182
I must have caught an enormous fish!
183
But when the fisherman looked in the net, he was stunned.
184
The heavy net was empty except for one tiny golden fish.
185
The fisherman peered more closely at the fish.
186
Suddenly, the creature opened its mouth, startling the man.
187
Please do not kill me, the golden fish pleaded.
188
Return me to the sea,
189
and I will do whatever you wish.
190
This is no ordinary fish, the old man realized.
191
He took pity on the small creature.
192
I am content, he said.
193
I do not need anything from you.
194
Go back to the sea.
195
At home, the fisherman's wife asked,
196
as she always did, Did you catch anything today?
197
The fisherman shrugged.
198
Nothing but a small golden fish.
199
Then the fisherman told his wife about the extraordinary golden fish in his net.
200
When the man relayed that he had let the golden fish go,
201
his wife's face darkened with fury.
202
You fool! she bellowed.
203
That was a magic fish!
204
Why did you let it go?
205
Why did you not wish for something like bread for us to eat?
206
The wife reprimanded her husband all night long.
207
Finally, the fisherman couldn't stand his wife's complaints anymore.
208
He returned to the sea to look for the magic fish.
209
Little fish!
210
Little fish!
211
The man called out.
212
Soon, the golden fish swam to the shore.
213
What do you want, old man?
214
My wife is very angry, the fisherman said.
215
She wants me to ask you for something.
216
What does she want? asked the fish.
217
She wants bread, replied the man.
218
You gave me my life, answered the fish.
219
Go home, and you will find what your wife wished for.
220
Then it swam away.
221
When the man returned to his hut,
222
he asked, Do we have bread now?
223
We have plenty of bread now, his wife informed him.
224
But our hut is in disrepair and about to collapse.
225
Return to the golden fish and demand a fine new cottage.
226
Little fish, little fish, the man called out.
227
Soon the golden fish swam to the shore.
228
What do you want, old man?
229
My wife is discontent.
230
Now she wants a fine new cottage, the man answered.
231
Go home, and you will find what she wished for, said the fish.
232
Then it swam away.
233
When the man returned home,
234
he was amazed to see that a fine new cottage had replaced his small, modest hut.
235
Just then, his wife ran toward him.
236
Go back to the golden fish, she demanded.
237
And tell the fish I want to be queen of this island.
238
Again, the fisherman obeyed his wife's command and headed back to the sea.
239
Little fish, little fish, he called out.
240
Soon, the golden fish swam to the shore.
241
What do you want now, old man?
242
My wife wants to be the queen of the island.
243
Go home, and you will find what she wished for, said the fish.
244
Then it swam away.
245
When the fisherman arrived home,
246
he stopped in his tracks and stared in amazement.
247
A magnificent palace, bustling with guards,
248
horses, and servants, had replaced the cottage.
249
The old man entered the palace.
250
Sitting on a golden throne,
251
dressed in the elegant attire of a queen, was his wife.
252
Pardon me, wife?
253
The man spoke quietly.
254
Wife?
255
How dare you address the queen as your wife?
256
She screamed loudly.
257
Guards, take this disgusting man away!
258
The guards dragged the fisherman away.
259
While his wife ruled the island,
260
he spent his days sweeping the palace like a servant.
261
Then one day, the queen summoned the fisherman.
262
You old fool! she ordered him.
263
Go back to that fish and tell him that I no longer want to be queen.
264
Now I want to be the empress of the sea!
265
What?
266
The man stared at his greedy wife in disbelief.
267
No!
268
He refused, slowly shaking his head.
269
You already have more than you need.
270
Go to the fish, or I will chop your head off!
271
Threatened the queen.
272
The fisherman was taken back to the sea.
273
Little fish!
274
Little fish!
275
But this time, the golden fish did not appear.
276
Little fish!
277
Little fish!
278
The man called again.
279
Still, the golden fish did not answer.
280
The old man called out a third time.
281
Little fish!
282
Little fish!
283
Suddenly, the sky turned dark,
284
and the waves in the sea crashed and roared.
285
At last, the golden fish swam up to the shore.
286
What do you want, old man?
287
The fisherman bent his head low and spoke in a trembling voice.
288
My, my wife, now she wants to be the empress of the sea.
289
The fish did not say a word.
290
Instead, it simply turned and disappeared into the churning waters.
291
When the old man returned home,
292
he could not believe his eyes.
293
The magnificent palace was gone.
294
In its place stood their old, modest hut.
295
The fisherman and his wife returned to their former life.
296
Every day the fisherman went fishing as usual.
297
But he never caught the extraordinary golden fish again.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
