青蛙卖泥塘

青蛙qīng wā住zhù在zài一yí个gè烂làn泥ní塘táng边biān，想xiǎng把bǎ泥ní塘táng卖mài掉diào。他tā站zhàn在zài塘táng边biān喊hǎn：卖mài泥ní塘táng喽lóu，卖mài泥ní塘táng！

A frog lived beside a muddy pond and wanted to sell it. Pond for sale! he croaked from the bank.

老lǎo牛niú说shuō：塘táng里lǐ水shuǐ太tài少shǎo。野yě鸭yā说shuō：塘táng边biān没有méi yǒu草cǎo。小xiǎo鸟niǎo说shuō：塘táng边biān没有méi yǒu树shù。

The ox said: too little water. The wild duck said: no grass. The little bird said: no trees.

青蛙qīng wā听tīng了le，就jiù引yǐn泉quán水shuǐ、种zhòng青qīng草cǎo、栽zāi小xiǎo树shù，还hái修xiū了le路lù、盖gài了le房子fáng zi。

So the frog led in spring water, planted grass and trees, laid a path and even built a house.

泥ní塘táng变biàn得de又yòu绿lǜ又yòu美měi。青蛙qīng wā不bú卖mài了le——这么zhè me好hǎo的de地方dì fang，留liú给gěi自己zì jǐ住zhù。劳动láo dòng，能néng把bǎ烂làn泥ní塘táng变成biàn chéng好hǎo家园jiā yuán。

The pond grew green and lovely. No more selling - a place this nice, he'd keep for himself. Hard work turns a mud hole into a home.
