1
Once upon a time, in a quiet green valley,
2
there lived a group of sheep.
3
Every day the sheep went out to the wide meadow to eat fresh grass.
4
The meadow was large and beautiful.
5
The sun was warm, the sky was blue,
6
and the grass was soft and green.
7
It was a peaceful place.
8
In this flock of sheep,
9
there was one small lamb.
10
He was very young.
11
He had soft white wool and big, curious eyes.
12
The little lamb was full of energy.
13
He loved to play and run around.
14
Sometimes he did not listen to the older sheep.
15
He liked to explore new places and do things on his own.
16
One morning, the shepherd opened the gate and the sheep went out to the meadow.
17
The little lamb followed the group,
18
jumping and playing along the way.
19
The older sheep walked slowly, eating the grass.
20
But the little lamb was feeling very playful that day.
21
He looked at the other side of the field.
22
It looked even greener and nicer.
23
So, without thinking, the little lamb ran away from the group.
24
He ran and ran until he found a place full of fresh, tasty grass.
25
Wow, the lamb said, this grass is even better than the other one.
26
He was happy.
27
He forgot about the other sheep.
28
He forgot about the shepherd.
29
He just wanted to eat and play.
30
But the lamb did not know that someone was watching him.
31
Behind a big bush, there was a hungry wolf.
32
The wolf had sharp eyes,
33
big teeth, and a thin body.
34
He had not eaten anything for many days.
35
He was weak and tired,
36
but when he saw the little lamb, his eyes lit up.
37
A lamb, all alone, no shepherd, no sheepdog.
38
What a lucky day, the wolf said to himself.
39
Slowly and quietly, the wolf started to follow the lamb.
40
The little lamb was still eating grass.
41
He was happy and full now.
42
Then he looked around and noticed something strange.
43
There were no other sheep.
44
There was no shepherd.
45
There were no fences.
46
He was all alone.
47
Oh no, the lamb said.
48
Where is my flock?
49
Where is the shepherd?
50
He started to feel scared.
51
He turned around to go back,
52
but then he saw the wolf.
53
The wolf was standing behind him with a big grin on his face.
54
The lamb's heart began to beat very fast.
55
He knew he was in danger.
56
He knew the wolf wanted to eat him.
57
The lamb stepped back and said,
58
Mr. Wolf, are you going to eat me?
59
The wolf showed his sharp teeth and said, yes, little lamb.
60
I am very hungry.
61
I need food.
62
I will eat you now.
63
The lamb was very scared,
64
but he also had a clever mind.
65
He thought quickly.
66
Maybe he could find a way to escape.
67
The lamb said, I understand,
68
Mr. Wolf, but can I ask you something?
69
The wolf was curious.
70
What do you want to ask?
71
The lamb said, I have eaten a lot of grass today.
72
My stomach is full of grass.
73
If you eat me now,
74
it will taste like grass.
75
Do you really want to eat grass?
76
The wolf thought for a moment.
77
He did not like the taste of grass.
78
He only liked meat.
79
The lamb continued, if you wait a little,
80
the grass in my stomach will digest.
81
Then when you eat me, it will taste better.
82
Don't you want to enjoy a nice meal?
83
The wolf rubbed his chin.
84
Maybe you are right.
85
I want to enjoy my meal.
86
All right, I will wait.
87
Thank you, Mr. Wolf, said the lamb.
88
You are very kind to wait.
89
The lamb sat down and waited.
90
The wolf waited too.
91
He was very hungry, but he wanted to wait so the lamb would taste better.
92
After a few minutes, the lamb stood up again.
93
Dear wolf, he said, the grass is not fully digested yet.
94
But if I dance, it will digest faster.
95
Dancing helps me move my stomach.
96
Then the grass will go down quickly.
97
Okay, said the wolf.
98
Dance if you want.
99
But do it fast.
100
I am very hungry.
101
The little lamb started to dance.
102
He jumped and spun around.
103
He moved his legs and wagged his tail.
104
He danced and danced with all his energy.
105
The wolf watched him and laughed.
106
You are a funny little lamb, he said.
107
I have never seen a lamb dance before.
108
The lamb danced for a long time.
109
Then he stopped and said,
110
oh no i cannot dance properly i need music the wolf
111
asked what music do you want the lamb said i have a bell on my neck
112
if you ring it it will make music then i can
113
dance better can you please help me please ring the bell the wolf wanted the lamb to finish dancing
114
so he could eat him So he said,
115
all right, give me the bell.
116
The lamb walked slowly to the wolf.
117
The wolf took the bell from the lamb's neck and began to ring it loudly.
118
Ding, ding, ding.
119
The sound went far and wide.
120
At that moment, something very lucky happened.
121
The shepherd was looking for the little lamb.
122
He had counted the sheep and saw that one was missing.
123
So he went out to search.
124
He walked around the meadow and called out,
125
Little lamb, where are you?
126
He was getting worried.
127
Then he heard a sound,
128
the sound of a bell.
129
Ding, ding, ding.
130
It was coming from far away.
131
That must be my lamb's bell, the shepherd said.
132
He ran quickly towards the sound.
133
As he got closer, he saw something terrible.
134
A wolf was standing next to his little lamb.
135
The shepherd picked up a big stick and ran towards the wolf.
136
He shouted loudly, hey, get away from my lamb.
137
The wolf turned and saw the shepherd.
138
He knew he was in trouble.
139
He dropped the bell and ran away into the forest.
140
The little lamb was safe.
141
The shepherd picked up the lamb and hugged him.
142
You're silly little lamb, he said.
143
You must never leave the flock again.
144
It is very dangerous.
145
The lamb nodded.
146
I'm sorry.
147
I didn't know the wolf was there.
148
I won't go far again.
149
The shepherd smiled.
150
You are lucky to be smart.
151
You saved yourself with your clever idea.
152
The little lamb felt proud.
153
He had used his brain to stay alive.
154
He learned an important lesson that day.
155
From that day on, the little lamb always stayed close to the other sheep.
156
He still played and had fun,
157
but he never wandered off alone again.
158
He knew that being smart and careful was better than being curious and careless.
159
And the wolf?
160
He ran deep into the forest and never came near the meadow again.
161
He was too afraid of the shepherd and his big stick.
162
Moral of the story.
163
You do not always need to be strong.
164
Sometimes, smart thinking can help you win,
165
even when you are weak.

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。
