Summer was a month away. That meant the local pool was going to open soon. All the kids were excited, but Evans was not.

还有一个月就到夏天了，那意味着当地的游泳池很快就会开放了。所有的孩子都很兴奋，除了埃文斯。

Evans did not know how to swim. He signed up for swim lessons. He was very afraid of the deep water. "Evans," said his teacher. "You need to relax. Nothing will happen to you." Evans practiced every day.

埃文斯不会游泳，他报名了游泳课，他很害怕深水。“埃文斯，”他的老师说，“你需要放松，不会有事的”。埃文斯每天都练习。

When the pool finally opened, all the kids ran inside. Evans slowly walked to edge of the pool. The other kids laughed at him for being scared. Evans was embarrassed. To shut them up, he dove into the water from the high board. His swim lessons paid off.

当游泳池终于开放时，所有的孩子都跑了进去。埃文斯慢慢地走到游泳池边，其他的孩子们嘲笑他这么胆小。埃文斯感到很丢脸，为了让他们闭嘴，他从最高的跳板跳入水中。他的游泳课终于有了回报。

proudly challenged the turtle to a race. The hare started quickly but stopped to take a nap every now and then. The turtle walked slowly but surely. While the hare was sleeping, the turtle passed him. Finally, the turtle won the race. In the end, he was rewarded for his perseverance. We can all learn a lesson from the turtle.
