Sam and Tod    

    Sam had a dog. lts name was Tod. lt was very helpful, but it ate too much. So Sam didn't like it, and he wanted to kill Tod, He tied Tod in a bag and put it in a small boat. He rowed the boat to the middle of a big river. Just as he threw the poor animal into the river, the boat began to go down. Both Sam and Tod fell into the river.

    Tod was able to swim, but Sam couldn't. The dog bit the rope and got out of the bag. lt tried its best to swim to save Sam. The man was saved, so he was very thankful to the dog. He did not want to kill the dog any more. From then on, he gave the dog as much food as it wanted.

萨姆与托德

        萨姆有一只狗(dog)。他的名字叫托德。它很有用(helpful)，但它吃的太多(eat too much)。所以萨姆不喜欢他。萨姆想杀死(kill)托德。萨姆把托德绑(tie)在一个袋子里，把它放进一只小船(small boat)。他把船划(row)到一条大河(river)的中央(middle)。他正要(just)把这只可怜的动物(poor animal)扔(throw)下河的时候，船开始下沉，萨姆和托德两个都(both)跌入(fall into)河里。

    托德能(be able to)游泳(swim)，但萨姆不会。狗把绳子(rope)咬断，从袋子里出来(get out of the bag)。它竭尽全力(try one's best)游过去救(save)萨姆。萨姆获救了，所以他对托德是非常感激的(thankful).他不再(not… any more)打算杀它了。从那以后(from then on)，小狗想要吃多少食物(food)萨姆就给多。
