Little Bop!
2
Howdy!
3
Long ago, lots of folks wanted a new life.
4
So they headed way out west.
5
This story is about two of them.
6
Their tale begins in a crowded city.
7
Thief!
8
A mink shouted.
9
You stole my pearl necklace!
10
The thief was a cat named Cleo.
11
She darted down the street, smiling.
12
As she turned a corner, that smile disappeared.
13
Roscoe was blocking her path.
14
That dog was the toughest cop in town.
15
You're under arrest, Cleo.
16
No way, Roscoe!
17
Cleo yelled and ran the other way.
18
She looked back.
19
Roscoe was behind her.
20
Cleo ran faster.
21
She turned a corner and slipped through an alley.
22
Phew!
23
Cleo said.
24
I lost him.
25
She turned down another alley.
26
She ran past the barrels and stopped.
27
Oops!
28
This is a dead end!
29
Cleo spun around and gulped.
30
Roscoe!
31
You're trapped, Cleo.
32
The dog said.
33
Cleo sighed and handed over the necklace.
34
You caught me.
35
But I'll have better work next time.
36
There won't be a next time, Roscoe said.
37
You're going to jail.
38
Cleo's shoulders slumped.
39
Roscoe smiled.
40
And I'm catching the next train out west.
41
Huh?
42
That was a surprise.
43
West?
44
Cleo said.
45
Roscoe nodded.
46
A little town called Prickly Pear needs a sheriff.
47
Maybe I'll get some peace and quiet for a change.
48
When are you leaving?
49
Cleo asked.
50
Now, Roscoe said.
51
I was on my way to the train station.
52
But then I saw you steal the necklace.
53
He grabbed her paw.
54
Let's go.
55
The train leaves soon.
56
I don't have much time.
57
They walked to the police station.
58
Cleo saw his train ticket and had a sneaky idea.
59
As they passed an apple cart, Cleo grabbed an apple.
60
She tossed it in the air.
61
It landed on Roscoe's hat.
62
The apple seller frowned.
63
You have to pay for that!
64
Huh?
65
Roscoe said.
66
You have one of my apples, the seller said.
67
He's right, Cleo said.
68
It's on your hat.
69
Huh?
70
How did it get up there?
71
Roscoe said.
72
As Roscoe reached up, Cleo grabbed his train ticket.
73
Then she ran fast.
74
At the train station, a whistle blew.
75
The train!
76
Cleo thought.
77
It's leaving the station!
78
Cleo hopped on and gave her ticket to the conductor.
79
She sat down and let out a long breath.
80
Phew!
81
Hey!
82
Hey!
83
Then she heard a shout.
84
Out the window, she saw Roscoe.
85
Stop the train!
86
The poor dog was trying to catch the train.
87
Leo laughed as the train sped up.
88
She was headed west.
89
Cleo woke to the sound of a train whistle.
90
The train rocked gently as it chugged along.
91
Outside, she saw dirt, rocks, and cacti.
92
Cleo smiled.
93
I'm not in the city anymore.
94
The train stopped.
95
End of the line, folks, the conductor said.
96
Prickly pear!
97
Cleo followed other passengers off the train.
98
She reached into her pocket and pulled out two coins
99
Two coins won't buy much Cleo thought she looked around wondering what she could steal
100
But nobody was wearing a pearl necklace or any other jewelry Soon,
101
the other passengers were gone.
102
A tumbleweed rolled by.
103
Then Cleo heard a rabbit and a mole talking.
104
Where's the new sheriff?
105
The rabbit asked.
106
The mole shrugged.
107
This telegram just says the new sheriff will arrive today.
108
It doesn't say who it is.
109
Now to a sneaky cat,
110
this was some mighty good luck.
111
Cleo had to pinch herself to stop from laughing.
112
First I stole Roscoe's ticket, she thought.
113
Now I'll steal his job.
114
Cleo walked right up to that rabbit and mole.
115
Hello, I'm Cleo.
116
Your new sheriff.
117
They tipped their hats.
118
Howdy, the rabbit said.
119
I'm Mayor Wayne, and this is Fritzie.
120
He runs our local newspaper, the Prickly Pear Times.
121
We're glad you're here, Fritzie said.
122
Cleo followed the mayor and Fritzie to the sheriff's office.
123
It was a small building.
124
Dust covered everything.
125
Sorry about the mess, Mayor Wayne said.
126
The last sheriff left a while ago.
127
He sure was in a hurry, Fritzie said.
128
Cleo sneezed.
129
I've been in jails that were nicer than this.
130
The mayor and Fritzie gave her a funny look.
131
Cleo pretended to laugh.
132
I mean, I've worked in jails that were nicer than this.
133
But it's fine.
134
I'll clean it up.
135
We know the place is humble, Mayor Wayne said.
136
But we're humble folks here.
137
He reached into his coat pocket.
138
Here's your badge.
139
And these are the keys to the doors and jail cells.
140
Oh, and here are some handcuffs and your slingshot.
141
Cleo could hardly believe it.
142
She was the sheriff with a badge and a slingshot.
143
And best of all, Prickly Pear seemed peaceful.
144
Cleo wouldn't have to do a thing.
145
I'm probably the only criminal here, Cleo thought.
146
Maybe I'll even like this town.
147
We'll let you get settled in, Mayor Wayne said.
148
Thanks for taking the job.
149
Cleo smiled.
150
It's no problem at all.
151
Finally, Fritzie grinned.
152
We have someone to stop the Calamity Gang.
153
Cleo gulped.
154
The Calamity Gang?
155
It's a good thing cats have nine lives.
156
because the kitty from the city was in deep trouble.
157
The Calamity Gang, Cleo said.
158
Are they outlaws?
159
Ritzy bit his lip.
160
The meanest outlaws in the West.
161
Mayor Wayne nodded.
162
They're the reason we needed a new sheriff.
163
It seemed like Cleo's good luck had run out.
164
I can't stop a gang of outlaws, she thought.
165
She looked at Mayor Wayne and Fritzie.
166
But I can't tell them that.
167
Cleo puffed out her chest.
168
You can count on me.
169
Glad to hear it, Mayor Wayne said.
170
He and Fritzie left.
171
I need to get out of this town!
172
Cleo thought.
173
There must be some money around.
174
She looked through every drawer and cabinet.
175
All she found was an old boot.
176
Cleo sighed.
177
Maybe someone in this town has money I can steal!
178
She opened the front door.
179
A young owl stood in her way.
180
Howdy, miss!
181
I'm Oswald.
182
Are you the new sheriff?
183
I sure am, kid, Cleo said.
184
But I'm busy right now.
185
I need to check out the town.
186
Great!
187
Oswald said.
188
I'll show you around.
189
Oswald showed Cleo almost every building in town.
190
That kid sure could talk.
191
But Cleo wasn't paying much attention.
192
She was too busy looking at everyone.
193
I have to find someone with money, she thought.
194
But nobody here looks rich.
195
Here we are, Oswald said.
196
The Prickly Pear Saloon.
197
Cleo and Oswald went inside and sat down.
198
A badger named Buster poured two glasses of cactus juice.
199
Cleo took out her coins.
200
Oops!
201
She thought.
202
It wasn't enough to pay for the juice.
203
I'm sorry, she said.
204
But I don't have...
205
I'll pay for that, someone said.
206
Cleo looked up.
207
A fox stood nearby.
208
She wore a long dress with a torn hem.
209
Miss Annie!
210
Oswald grinned.
211
Sheriff Cleo, Miss Annie is my teacher!
212
Annie smiled.
213
You must be our new sheriff.
214
My name's Cleo, but you don't have to...
215
Annie held up a paw.
216
In Prickly Pear, we help each other out.
217
Cleo couldn't believe it.
218
Annie seems poor, she thought.
219
But she's helping me anyway.
220
Early the next morning, the train chugged along.
221
Roscoe couldn't sleep.
222
He was still mad.
223
If I ever see Cleo again,
224
I'll throw her in jail.
225
He thought.
226
She's the worst.
227
Roscoe looked out the window.
228
Riders on horseback raced alongside the train.
229
Oh no. Roscoe said.
230
Bandits!
231
The End The End The End The End Cleo was asleep at her desk.
232
Mayor Wayne shook her awake.
233
Wake up, Sheriff!
234
The Calamity Gane is attacking the train!
235
You need to stop them!
236
Cleo said.
237
The mayor led her outside.
238
Cleo blinked.
239
A group of townsfolk stared at her.
240
Their faces were full of hope.
241
You'll stop the Calamity Gang, right, Sheriff?
242
Oswald said.
243
Uh-uh.
244
Leo gulped and climbed onto her horse.
245
Sure, kid.
246
Then she thought, I'll ride away and never come back.
247
As she left town, everyone cheered.
248
Hooray for Sheriff Cleo!
249
They think I'm a hero.
250
Cleo thought.
251
But I'm just astray from the city.
252
So, how?
253
Cleo thought of Annie's kindness.
254
Cleo made a fist.
255
I'll stop those outlaws!
256
Screech!
257
Roscoe felt the train stop suddenly.
258
An outlaw burst into the car.
259
It's Mad Dog Bell!
260
A passenger yelled.
261
Roscoe stood up.
262
Mad Dog drew his slingshot.
263
Don't move!
264
Three more bandits entered the car.
265
Mad Dog's eyes narrowed.
266
No one's going anywhere.
267
Cleo saw the train stop.
268
She heard shouts.
269
I must be crazy.
270
She thought, galloping toward the train.
271
But if I don't stop the Calamity Gang, who will?
272
Mad Dog snarled at the passengers.
273
Everyone hand over your wallets and purses.
274
Roscoe reached for his slingshot.
275
One outlaw pointed.
276
Look out, boss!
277
He's got a slingshot!
278
Mad Dog stepped toward Roscoe.
279
I'll take that, too.
280
It was four against one.
281
But Roscoe was tough.
282
And smart.
283
He held up a paw.
284
Okay, I'll hand it over.
285
Don't hurt me.
286
Roscoe held his slingshot out.
287
Mad Dog reached for it.
288
Then Roscoe threw it in his face.
289
Ouch!
290
Roscoe quickly grabbed his slingshot and loaded a pebble.
291
Whack!
292
The other outlaws aimed their slingshots.
293
Cleo approached the train.
294
Twat!
295
Twat!
296
Slingshots fired inside one of the passenger cars.
297
Cleo heard shouts.
298
The train's being robbed!
299
Help!
300
help!
301
Cleo was scared, but she had to do something!
302
Those passengers are counting on me!
303
She thought.
304
Just then, an outlaw flew from the train!
305
Ugggghhh, that dog is tough!
306
Cleo pounced on him!
307
You're under arrest!
308
She said, slapping handcuffs on the outlaw!
309
That wasn't hard, Cleo thought.
310
I can do this.
311
She took a deep breath and jumped into the train.
312
Whoa!
313
Roscoe stood over three other outlaws.
314
They were tied up.
315
He glared at her.
316
What are you doing here?
317
Cleo laughed nervously.
318
Ha!
319
Um, howdy Roscoe!
320
I'm the new sheriff!

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
