上次，我们少儿英语故事说到Happy Forest的新同学害羞龟Andrew，救下了掉入河中的Victor，却落下了一样东西在河里，他到底在找什么东西呢?
A little after he ran off, Andrew finally swam up to the bank. He was holding a painting, but all the color had washed away. Andrew began to cry.
过了一会儿，Andrew终于游上了岸，他手里抓着一幅画，可是画上的颜料全都被水冲掉了。Andrew伤心地哭了起来。
As it turns out, Andrew had signed up for an art competition. He had spent a lot of his time working on his painting. The competition was tomorrow, but his painting was destroyed! Teacher Rolin told Andrew, “Don’t worry. We still have time. You can just paint another one.”
原来，Andrew报名了一个画画比赛，这幅画花了他很长时间，眼看明天就要比赛了，画却毁了。Rolin老师安慰Andrew，“不要灰心，我们现在还有时间，重新画一幅就好了。”
Andrew wiped away his tears and took his paints and brushes out of his backpack. They had already gotten wet, and could no longer be used. There was also no time to buy new supplies. Andrew got more and more worried.
Andrew擦干眼泪，从书包里拿出颜料和画笔，可画具浸了水，已经不能用了，而且现在也来不及重新买画具了。Andrew越想越着急。
Teacher Rolin thought for a moment, turned to Junior the lion, and said, “Call everyone here, and then go get a large sheet of paper.” Junior nodded and in an instant had gathered everyone together. Teacher Rolin spread out the paper, smiled, and told everyone, “Andrew will be attending a competition tomorrow. Would you like to help him paint a very special painting?” Everyone was eager to try.
Rolin老师想了想，转头对小狮子Junior说：“你把大家都叫到这里，再拿一张大大的纸过来。”Junior点头，不一会儿就把大家全都叫了过来。Rolin老师把画纸摊开，笑眯眯地对大家说：“Andrew要参加明天的绘画比赛，大家愿不愿意和他一起，画一幅最特别的画?”大家听到这话，都跃跃欲试。
Iris mixed the paints, and everyone got to work. Pandora used her trunk to spray a beautiful blue sky onto the canvas, and then bright green to be the beautiful grass. Oxford the bull used his tail to paint beautiful willow branches. Junior dipped his paws in ink and ran across the painting to make beautiful flowers. Andrew was very surprised that everyone painted such a beautiful forest.
Iris调好了颜料，大家开始画画。Pandora用鼻子喷出蓝色的颜料，画出了天空，又用绿色的颜料，喷出一片草地;Oxford用尾巴上的颜料，甩出了长长的柳树枝条;Junior用爪子蘸颜料，在画纸上跑动，画出了一连串漂亮的梅花。Andrew非常惊讶，大家居然画出了一片美丽的森林!
The next day, Andrew brought his very special painting to the competition and he earned first place!
第二天，Andrew带着这幅特别的画参加了绘画比赛，竟然拿到了第一名!
Andrew gave the trophy to his classmates. Teacher Rolin patted Andrew on the head and said, “Next time you have a problem, you should ask for help. When everyone shares the load, even the biggest problems seem small.”
Andrew将奖杯送给大家。Rolin老师摸摸Andrew的头，“下次遇到困难，一定要开口请求帮助。你看，当大家一起分担的时候，再大的困难都是小事一桩。”
Andrew nodded his head. Not only did he make his dream come true, he made new friends. He smiled and hugged his classmates, but discovered that Oxford the bull was missing. Where did he go? Let’s find out next week.
Andrew点点头，他不仅实现了自己的梦想，也收获了新朋友。他笑着拥抱大家，却发现牛津牛Oxford没有在现场，Oxford去哪里了呢?我们下周再见。
Goodnight. Sweet dreams.
晚安，好梦。
