2
At the top of the hill, standing all on his own, is a curious creature a long way from home.
3
with a boulder sized body on short stumpy legs and a thin hairy tail all covered with pegs.
4
He has short little tusks and huge flappy ears and sad little eyes crying sad little tears.
5
It's Samson the Smellephant, a glum little chap with a knot in his trunk and a pong at the back.
6
He stays well away from the elephant fun as the herd romp and stomp in the warm summer sun summer sun.
7
They hop and they skip, they jump and they shout, but one sniff of his whiff, and he's always left out.
8
So Samson just sits, as they giggle and grin.
9
He watches them play, but he doesn't join in.
10
For this is the smellephunt, a lonely wee chap, with a knot in his trunk, and a pong at the back.
11
Now I know what you're thinking, he just needs a bath, a good scrub in the tub, and he'll be on the right path.
12
But it isn't that simple, and he'd rather stay dry.
13
He's terrified of water, but no one knows why.
14
So Samson just sits as they paddle and swim.
15
He watches them splash, but he doesn't join in.
16
For this is the smellephunt, a scared little chap with a knot in his trunk and a pong at the back.
17
But later that day, as they snooze by the pool, the sky turns black and the air grows cool.
18
A rumble of thunder, a flash of white light, and all of the elephants jump up with a fright.
19
But Samson just sits, as they tumble and spin.
20
He watches them run, but he doesn't join in.
21
For this is the Smellophon, a puzzled wee chap, with a knot in his trunk, and a pong at the back.
22
The clouds crash again, the herd huddles low, there's no place to hide, and no place to go.
23
As the storm rumbles on, the rain starts to fall.
24
Samson just shrugs.
25
This isn't scary at all.
26
But the herd's in a fix.
27
What a pickle they're in.
28
And with a flick of his tail, an idea comes to him.
29
For this is the smell elephant, a clever wee chap.
30
Three pegs in his trunk, and none at the back.
31
The rain rattles down.
32
The wind whistles by.
33
He pegs up their ears in the blink of an eye.
34
As if under a blanket, all cosy and warm, the herd snuggles down, now safe from the storm.
35
The rain gently fades.
36
Dark clouds drift away.
37
Birds sing in trees and the sun lights the day.
38
But where is the snow elephant?
39
A brave little chap with a knot in his trunk and a pong at the back.
40
They search high and low until suddenly they see a curious little creature.
41
No, could it be?
42
He has a boulder sized body on short stumpy legs and a thin soggy tail with no sign of the pegs.
43
He has short little tusks and huge flappy ears.
44
It's Samson, they cry, and his welcoming cheers.
45
But now he's a hero, that rain-washed wee chap, with a knot in his trunk and the sun at his back.
46
And as it sets over the hill, they all join in song about the tail of this elephant who got rid of his pong.
47
If you don't have books,
48
what are you waiting for?
49
It's a kid-safe ad-free library full of storybooks that are brought to life.
50
Ask your grown-up and start exploring more fun stories like these.
51
Seriously, you have to check it out. for free today.

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。
