Soon, the sun began to set.

That cave is right near the pond.

It's pretty warm too!

He would drink fresh water from the pond, graze nearby and sleep peacefully inside.

Days passed and Bounty began to love his life in the forest.

But being a domestic buffalo, Bounty was a simple and innocent animal.
58
He wasn't aware that the forest was home to many animals and not all of them were as innocent as he was.
59
While Bounty happily carried on with his new life, there was someone who was keeping a watch on the buffalo, Timmy the fox.
60
Each day as Bounty left his cave to wander around, Timmy would tiptoe behind him everywhere.
61
Bounty was always so engrossed in his day-to-day activities, never felt Timmy's presence around.
62
Hmm...
63
This buffalo is pretty brave to roam around the forest all by himself.
64
Well, either he is too brave or too stupid.
65
I mean, does he even know whose cave he's living in?
66
Ha ha ha ha!
67
Let's have some fun!
68
Well, hello!
69
Are you new here?
70
I came to graze here every day now.
71
I wouldn't call myself new.
72
Oh, you are a witty little animal.
73
A fox calling a buffalo little is witty indeed.
74
How dare you make fun of me?
75
I am the king of the forest.
76
That's my cave you're living in.
77
All the animals are at my mercy here.
78
If you want to live, you will have to bow down to me.
79
You are right.
80
I am new here.
81
But that doesn't mean I am stupid to believe everything you say.
82
Listen, Fox.
83
I know you are not king of this forest.
84
In fact, I am sure you don't even know how big this forest is.
85
I suggest you stop wasting my time.
86
Timmy was seething inside.
87
He shivered with anger.
88
He swore that one day he will seek revenge for his insult.
89
Bounty, on the other hand, realized that he will have to be more cautious now.
90
That cunning fox knows where I live, which means he is keeping a watch on me?
91
Hmm.
92
Also, I don't think about this before, but that cave must belong to somebody.
93
What will I do once the rightful owner of that cave comes back?
94
I will have to be more careful around here.
95
That night, the moon shone brightly in the sky.
96
As Bounty lay down inside the cave, he heard something.
97
He peeped through a small hole and saw a strange shadow outside.
98
First, he thought that the fox is back to trouble him again.
99
But as the figure came closer, Bounty shivered with fear.
100
It was the grateful owner, the tiger.
101
Oh no!
102
Of course this cave belongs to the tiger.
103
What do I do now?
104
He will eat me up.
105
As the tiger kept coming closer, Bounty could not stop shivering.
106
Wait, wait, think clearly.
107
Calm down.
108
Aha!
109
I can see him, but he can't see me.
110
That's my advantage.
111
Here he comes!
112
Huh?
113
Shhh!
114
What is wrong with you?
115
He will hear us!
116
Alright, sorry, but look how delicious he looks!
117
Didn't I tell you the one who lives here is big enough for both of us to eat?
118
Alright, you were right!
119
Our dinner for today is sorted!
120
Absolutely!
121
It was the tiger's turn to shiver with fear!
122
Huh?
123
Who are these animals?
124
Why did he stop?
125
This is taking too long and I am too hungry.
126
Why don't we go out and attack him instead?
127
He can't fight both of us.
128
The trick worked.
129
Without another thought, Tiger leapt across the forest.
130
Bounty was relieved he now knew the importance of keeping calm in any given situation.
131
The next day, as Timmy was loitering in the forest, he bumped into the tiger.
132
Aaaaaaah!
133
Aaaaaaah!
134
Oof!
135
You scared me!
136
S-s-scared?
137
Wait, I scared you?
138
But you're a tiger!
139
Yeah, yeah, I know.
140
I am the big cat of the jungle.
141
But you are a fool if you think there are no bigger and.. and scarier animals than me here.
142
I ran into two of those last night.
143
They have captured my cave.
144
I will have to look for a new den.
145
Wait, what?
146
The one living in your cave is bigger and scarier than you are?
147
You are?
148
Are you kidding me?
149
He is a buffalo!
150
And what do you mean, two?
151
There is only one buffalo living in there!
152
You think I am a fool to run away from a buffalo?
153
There are two huge beings in there!
154
Beings?
155
Yeah, I don't really know who or what they are.
156
I didn't enter the cave.
157
Just heard their voices.
158
They were going to attack me.
159
I ran away before they could.
160
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
161
You poor tiger!
162
He played you.
163
There is no being in there.
164
It's a buffalo.
165
I am keeping a watch on him ever since he set his foot in this forest!
166
Shut up, Fox!
167
How dare you insult me?
168
You think I am stupid to mistake a buffalo for a scary animal?
169
I can prove it to you!
170
You are not his prey!
171
He is your prey!
172
Let's do one thing!
173
I will come with you!
174
We will enter that cave and I will help you capture whoever's inside.
175
I want to settle a score with that arrogant buffalo anyway.
176
But, in return for your cave, I want you to promise that you will never attack me.
177
Hmm, are you telling the truth?
178
But wait, what if you run away, leaving me behind?
179
Um, I know.
180
Let's tie a rope around ourselves.
181
One end to your stomach and the other to mine.
182
That way you can pull me back if I try to run.
183
Deal?
184
The tiger agreed.
185
They both tied a rope around themselves and began to walk towards the cave.
186
Fox was happy.
187
He had found a way to do both, teach Bounty a lesson and earn trust of the tiger.
188
As they approached the cave, Bounty saw them coming.
189
As soon as he saw the fox, he understood what was going on.
190
Hmm, he thinks he is smart?
191
Now, let me handle this, okay?
192
Enter the cave only when I ask you to.
193
You stupid fox!
194
I asked you to bring me two tigers, and you bring me only one?
195
Huh?
196
What?
197
We haven't eaten anything since last night, and now you want us both to share one tiger between us?
198
You work for them?
199
No, no, no!
200
This is not true!
201
Ah, you are good for nothing!
202
Fine!
203
Bring him here now!
204
No!
205
Tiger left for his life!
206
He was so scared that he didn't care about Timmy who was tied to the other end of the rope! rope!
207
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
208
This hurts!
209
Ha ha ha ha!
210
This will teach that fox!
211
I have learnt a very important lesson today.
212
Had I not kept myself calm, I could not have been able to chase those two away.
213
No matter how difficult the situation gets, we must always stay calm.
214
Bounty was right.
215
Only because he stayed calm in every difficult situation was he able to help himself.
216
And as for the fox...
217
Ow!
218
Ow!
219
Ow!
220
Ow!
221
Ow!
222
Nooooooooooooooo!
223
He must have learned his lesson too.
224
Thank you.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
