原来狮子是林中大王，可是有一天狮子对动物们说他老了，要动物们从新选一个国王。为了慎重，决定先让每个动物试当一个周的国王。 It turns out that the lion is the king of the forest, but one day the lion told the animals that he was old and asked them to choose a new king. In order to be careful, we decided to let each animal try to be king for a week. 这个消息一传出，动物们都沸腾了，最后大家决定让猫头鹰当国王，因为它最勤快了。于是猫头鹰当选为第一周的国王。这下可热闹了，猫头鹰让动物们白天都睡觉，晚上在出来活动。这可把动物们累坏了，而有一些动物，像蝙蝠、猫头鹰却不以未然。 As soon as the news came out, the animals were boiling. At last, we decided to make the owl king, because it is the most diligent. So the owl was elected king of the first week. Now it's busy. Owls let animals sleep during the day and come out at night. It's exhausting the animals, but some animals, like bats and owls, are not. 第二周，动物们 一个个都成了“熊猫眼”，大家一致认为猫头鹰不适合当国王，又推选河马当国王。河马觉得猫头鹰这种做法不对，它要改一改，它说：“从今天起，你们都泡在水里洗澡。”大家一听，哭天喊地，可是没有办法，只好从命。 第三周，动物们的皮肤都特别“光滑”，这次又轮到长颈鹿当国王，它说：“从今天起，你们都必须伸长脖子，吃树上的枝叶。”动物们一听都吓的要命 ，它们的脖子怎么也够不着枝叶，再说了，还有一些食肉的动物，唉，这下动物们可惨了。 |
