故事导读

众所周知,许多动物都是靠着保护色,让自己更好地隐藏并融入到大自然中,这样不仅能更好地跟踪它们的猎物,也能避免成为捕食者的下一顿饭。今天故事的主人公变色龙——卡尔却非常不喜欢自己的变色本领。失去变色功能后的他还能快乐地玩耍吗?让我们一起来读读这个故事吧!

Carl is a chameleon. He can change colors. When he is in grass,his skin turns green. When he is beside the red leaves on the tree,his skin turns red.

Other animals admire him,but he is sad. He doesnt like changing colors all the time. He would rather have his own color.

One day,Carl met a fairy,Flora.

“Dear Flora,I want to have my own color. Can you help me?” asked Carl.

“I made some dye. Let me brush it on your body,” said Flora.

Flora brushed the dye onto Carls body. Carl became colorful. “I have my own color now. A very special color. Thank you,Flora,” cried Carl.

Carl climbed in the grass. A snake spotted him and was about to attack him. Carl ran away.

Carl climbed a tree. An eagle spotted him. It swooped down towards him and was about to grab him. Carl ran so fast,he was out of breath!

Carl ran and ran. He jumped into a river. The colors on his body were washed off.

Carl quickly climbed a tree and hid under the leaves. He turned red,the same color as the leaves. The snake and the eagle couldnt find him. He was safe.

Now Carl is happy to change colors. He is happy to be himself again.
