Little Bears mother was ill, so he had to(1) send for a doctor. On his way, he thought,
“I didnt know Dr.(2) Giraffe(3) well. I should turn to (4) his good friend Woodpecker (5).”
In the forest(6), he saw Woodpecker and told him about it. But Woodpecker said,
“I am only Dr. Giraffes colleague(7), and I am not familiar(8) with him. Little Deer is his relative(9), and maybe he would help you.”
Then Little Bear came to Little Deers, and asked her to lend him a hand(10).But she said regretfully (11),
“Im sorry! I will go out, and the car is now waiting for me. So I am not able to help you. But I think Fox can help you, because he is clever and full of ideas(12).”
After Fox knew Little Bears intension(13), he blinked(14) his eyes and said, “You should buy some presents for Dr. Giraffe. And I will pass them to him for you(15). Then he will surely cure(16) your mother of her illness very soon.”
Little Bear took his advice(17) and bought some presents in a shop. When Fox received(18)the presents, he told him,
“Ok! You go back now, and the doctor will look in(19) your mother after a while(20).”
After Little Bear left, Fox laughed,
“Hey!I will enjoy these presents myself. Fool!”
A few minutes later, Little Bear got home. What did he see? Dr. Giraffe was giving his mother an injection(21). He went over and asked Dr. Giraffe happily, “Dr. Giraffe, have you received my presents so soon?”
“Presents? What presents?” Dr. Giraffe was very surprised.
He told Dr. Giraffe what had happened, then Little Bearunderstoodthat Fox had cheated(22) him.
“I am so stupid! I should ask you for help directly(23)!”
