My Bedtime Stories A long way out in the deep blue sea,
2
there lived a fish.
3
Not just an ordinary fish,
4
but the most beautiful fish in the entire ocean.
5
His scales were every shade of blue and green and purple with sparkling silver scales among them.
6
The other fish were amazed at his beauty.
7
They called him Rainbow Fish.
8
Come on Rainbow Fish, they would call.
9
Come and play with us!
10
But the Rainbow Fish would just glide past,
11
proud and silent, letting his scales shimmer.
12
The Rainbow Fish was the most beautiful fish in the sea,
13
but he never played with the other fish.
14
I'm too beautiful to play with them, he thought.
15
One day, a little blue fish followed after him.
16
Rainbow Fish, wait for me!
17
Please give me one of your shiny scales.
18
They are so wonderful and you have so many!
19
What?
20
You want me to give you one of my special skills?
21
Who do you think you are? cried the rainbow fish.
22
I will never give you any of my special skills.
23
Get away from me!
24
Shocked, the little blue fish swam away.
25
He was so sad and he told all his friends what had happened.
26
From then on, no one would ask the rainbow fish to play anymore.
27
They would turn away whenever he swam by and they stopped admiring how beautiful his scales are.
28
The Rainbow Fish noticed that he was being avoided and he felt that he's no longer admired by the others.
29
What good were the dazzling,
30
shimmering scales with no one to admire them?
31
Now he's the loneliest fish in the entire ocean.
32
One day he poured out his troubles to the starfish.
33
I really am beautiful.
34
Why doesn't anybody like me?
35
I'm sorry Rainbow Fish, but I can't answer that for you, said the starfish.
36
But beyond the coral reef is the deep cave.
37
There you will find the wise octopus.
38
Maybe she can tell you.
39
The Rainbow Fish then went to go find the deep cave.
40
The Rainbow Fish finally found the deep cave and it was very dark inside and he couldn't see anything.
41
Then suddenly two eyes caught him in their glare and the octopus emerged from the darkness.
42
I have been waiting for you,
43
said the octopus with a deep voice.
44
The waves have told me your story.
45
You are unhappy because no one would want to play with you.
46
You feel that the others have wronged you,
47
but it is you who has been wrong.
48
This is my advice.
49
Give a glittering scale to each of the other fish.
50
You will no longer be the most beautiful fish in the sea,
51
but you will discover how to be happy.
52
I can't, the rainbow fish said.
53
But the octopus had already disappeared into a dark cloud of ink.
54
Give away my scales?
55
My beautiful shining scales?
56
Never!
57
How could I ever be happy without them?
58
Suddenly, he felt the light touch of a fin.
59
The little bluefish was back.
60
Rainbowfish, please, don't be angry.
61
I just want one little scale.
62
The rainbowfish wavered.
63
Only one very very small shimmery scale, he thought.
64
Well, maybe I would've missed just one.
65
Carefully, the Rainbow Fish pulled out the smallest scale and gave it to the little fish.
66
Thank you!
67
Thank you, Rainbow Fish!
68
Thank you very much!
69
The little blue fish bubbled playfully as he tucked the shiny scale in among his blue ones.
70
A rather peculiar feeling came over the Rainbow Fish.
71
For a long time, he watched the Little Bluefish swim back and forth with his new scale glittering in the water.
72
The Little Bluefish whizzed through the ocean with his scale flashing.
73
So, it didn't take long before the Rainbow Fish was surrounded by the other fish.
74
Everyone wanted a glittering scale.
75
Me too, Rainbow Fish!
76
Can I have one too? said the other fish.
77
The Rainbow Fish shared his scales left and right,
78
and the more he gave away,
79
the more delighted he became.
80
When the water around him filled with glimmering scales,
81
he at last felt at home among the other fish.
82
In the end, the Rainbow Fish had only one shining scale left.
83
His most prized possessions had been given away,
84
yet he was very happy.
85
Come on Rainbow Fish, come and play with us!
86
Here I come, said the Rainbow Fish.
87
And happy as a splash,
88
he swam off to join his friends.
89
What are the lessons that we could learn from this story?
90
First, be humble.
91
The Rainbow Fish didn't want to play with the other fish because he thought that he's too beautiful to mingle with them.
92
Never look down on anybody.
93
Treat everyone with dignity and respect.
94
You may be successful and beautiful,
95
but that doesn't put you above everybody else.
96
Remember, we all have our unique gifts, talents, strengths, and weaknesses.
97
Be humble enough to know that you are far from perfect,
98
but confident enough to know that you can do anything you set your mind to.
99
Second, sharing.
100
Sharing comes in many forms.
101
It could be us sharing our time,
102
efforts, or whatever we have with other people.
103
We can help others even in our own simplest way.
104
3 Genuine Happiness Just like the rainbow fish,
105
you could be the most beautiful and the most successful,
106
yet still be the loneliest.
107
As cliché as it may sound,
108
but happiness really lies within us.
109
Sure, we will be happy when we have all the best material things in the world,
110
but that happiness is temporary.
111
Aim for that long-lasting and genuine happiness.
112
Remember, happiness is an inside job.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
