24
What is it?
25
Are you okay?
26
There!
27
Over there!
28
A snake!
29
Uh...quack?
30
I don't mind sharing my pond with fish, but a snake is just too...
31
Black!
32
What?
33
That's not a snake.
34
It's a stick.
35
Of course it's a stick.
36
Pretending to be a snake.
37
I didn't know you were scared of snakes, Quack.
38
Me?
39
I am not afraid of snakes.
40
It's just, you know how snakes are.
41
They sneak up on you and tickle your feet.
42
I'm pretty sure snakes don't do that.
43
You clearly don't know snakes.
44
Anyway, we have to get rid of it.
45
I'll just pull you out of the ground so you can't...
46
...uh, scare ducks.
47
Whoa!
48
Okay...
49
I'll dig you out.
50
Peep, lend me a foot, please.
51
This is a really big stick.
52
Are you sure you want to dig it up?
53
Of course I'm sure.
54
It was bothering me, wasn't it?
55
Ah!
56
This must be the biggest stick in the world.
57
You could be right.
58
Which makes this an amazing discovery.
59
And me, an amazing discoverer.
60
I'll be famous.
61
You think so?
62
Definitely.
63
Everybody loves big stick stories.
64
And so, using a digging stick, little bird toes, and big duck feet, the three friends dug and dug and dug.
65
And dug and dug and dug and dug and dug.
66
Hey!
67
Be careful with those feet!
68
That's not a snake, is it?
69
I don't think so.
70
Sorry, but we're digging up the world's biggest stick.
71
Sounds exciting, but I feel I speak for all earthworms when I say, please dig carefully.
72
We live here.
73
You live in dirt?
74
Why? Because we eat dirt.
75
And then we like to move it around.
76
So it's just very convenient.
77
Bye!
78
So once again, the three friends dug and dug and dug and dug...
79
Until...
80
Look!
81
A tunnel!
82
Hello down there!
83
Hello up there!
84
The power of duck feet!
85
The power of mole feet!
86
Howdy!
87
Moe's my name, and digging tunnels is my game!
88
Hi, I'm Peep, and this is Chirp and Quack.
89
Aren't you the ones digging up the world's biggest stick?
90
Yes, that's right.
91
How did you know?
92
I can't see very well, but I have great hearing.
93
And one of you is very loud.
94
I am not loud.
95
I'm exuberant.
96
Well, anywho, all play and no hole makes for one homeless mole.
97
Ciao.
98
Once more, the three friends, dog and dog.
99
Hey, I found a berry.
100
Let me take a look.
101
Hmm, round, check, small, check.
102
Yep, that's a berry, all right.
103
Who wants to play berry?
104
Me.
105
Me, not me.
106
Hmm?
107
A talking berry?
108
Could this be, dare I say it, Another amazing discovery?
109
I'm not a talking berry.
110
I'm a pill bug.
111
Why were you rolled up like that? For protection.
112
See my shell?
113
It's hard as a rock.
114
Keeps me safe.
115
Well, sorry to disturb you, but we're digging up this stick because Quack is afraid of snakes.
116
I am not.
117
Why not?
118
Well, anyway, we have to dig it up.
119
Good luck!
120
By now, Peep, Quack, and Chirp were hot and tired.
121
So they were very happy when the stick led them into the shade of Newton's tree.
122
Hmm.
123
I think our stick is stuck to Newton's tree.
124
Really?
125
Well, we'll have to dig up the tree then.
126
Hmm.
127
We're going to need a couple more ducks for that.
128
Quack, we can't dig up Newton's tree.
129
Well, I can't live with a snake.
130
I mean, I could.
131
But I don't want to.
132
It's not a snake.
133
It's a stick.
134
It's not a stick or a snake.
135
It's a root.
136
It brings water to my tree.
137
But I thought roots were under the ground.
138
We kind of made a mess, didn't we?
139
Don't blame me.
140
Blame that snake!
141
And so it turned out to be a perfect afternoon.
142
Just right for covering a root with dirt.
143
Come on, Quack.
144
We have to undig all our digging.
145
When we get to your pond, we can bury the snake, a stick, a root, under a rock or something.
146
Is a duck's work never done? the duck asked.
147
Capri and Hazel and I are digging holes.
148
I found a worm right there. Where?
149
Right there.
150
Pick it up.
151
They actually do help you.
152
They make the soil nice and clean again.
153
Hello, Dippies.
154
I found a rock.
155
This rock has some yellow in it.
156
Maybe the leaves that fall on the ground, when they get crumbled, they go into the ground
157
and they make dirt and they might have gave the dirt a little color to give the rock a little color.
158
Ooh, what the heck is this?
159
It's reddish-orange-ish and it's squished in the back.
160
I think it's a tail of a different room.
161
We are finding living things and things that are not living.
162
It's green!
163
Is it a marble?
164
It probably is a marble or a little ball.
165
I found a rock.
166
It's a big one too.
167
I know.
168
It looks like a bunch of rocks glued together.
169
It looks like it could be a chunk of sidewalk or something.
170
I have a baby worm in my hand.
171
And it's a little green worm.
172
So maybe it's a tree worm that blends into the trees and stuff.
173
See what you can find when you dig some holes.

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。
