　　小学英语阅读：Thumbelina

　　Once upon a time， there lived a woman who had no children. The woman went to a sorcerer and begged， “I want to raise a pretty baby.” The sorcerer then gave her a flower seed. As soon as the seed was planted， a tulip blossomed forth. From the floral leaf， a lovely baby girl who was as short as a thumb was born.

　　“Mother， how are you？” The baby girl who came out from the flower said hello to her mother with a beautiful voice. The woman was very happy and wanted to give her a pretty name. “A baby who is as short as a thumb...I will name her as Thumbelina.”

　　Thumbelina led a happy life sailing her ship across a pond filled with flowers. But one night， there appeared a horrible-looking toad when Thumbelina was asleep. “She is really a pretty girl. I am going to make her my bride.” The toad carried the sleeping girl on his warty back and went to his pond. Thumbelina woke up in the morning， and was so surprised that she could do nothing but weep silently.

　　She thought that she would rather die than become the wife of a toad. The fish who saw this unhappy event were sympathetic towards the poor girl， and said， “Thumbelina is pitiful. Let‘s help her.” The fish cut the leaf of a lotus flower on which Thumbelina was riding， so that she could run away from the toad. She was roaming around the riverside riding on the leaf of a lotus flower. At that time， a beetle came flying about and spied the top of the head of Thumbelina.

　　“Uh！ She is a very pretty girl. Okay， I am going to make her my friend.” The beetle grabbed Thumbelina and flew into the forest. “How about that？ She is my friend. Isn’t she very pretty？” The beetle bragged about her to his other beetle friends， but they all thought that she was an odd creature. “What？ She only has two legs but has no wings like we do. It is really strange.”

　　With his friends making fun of him， the beetle began to dislike Thumbelina. He went away with his friends， leaving the girl alone in the branches. She spent many lonely days eating tree fruits and flowers. “Dear God， please send me to my mother.” Thumbelina wandered around the forest shivering from cold and hunger.
