The monster and the hunter 怪物和獵人
Long ago, there lived a huge monster. The monster looked like a human, but had a large body and much hair. His eye was in the middle of his forehead.
People were really afraid of this monster. That is because the monster ate up people. The people did not go neat the woods where the monster lived.
One day, a young hunter went hunting in the woods where the monster lived. He did not know that the monster lived there. He ran into the monster.
The brave hunter took out his arrow1 and shot2 the monster. The monster did not feel any pain and attacked the hunter. "How come he got shot, but he is alright..." The hunter shot a few more arrows,but the monster was not injured3 at all. The hunter only had one arrow left.
"That monster has to have a weak spot. Right! It must be that eye." The hunter shot his last arrow to the monster's eye. The monster was hit. It screamed and fell. The hunter barely4 killed the monster and realized it was the monster that people feared.
"This monster has to be burned so it won't ever bother people again." The hunter made a fire and turned the monster into ashes. Suddenly, a strong wind came and the ashes turned into an insect.
The insect attacked the hunter and began sucking5 his blood. The hunter ran away from the insect. The ashes became a mosquito6 that still bothers us on a hot summer day.
很久以前，有過一個巨大的怪物。怪物看起來像一個人，但有一個很大的身體和很多毛。他的眼睛長在他額頭中間。
人們真的很害怕這個怪物。這是因爲這個怪物會吃人。人們不敢靠近怪物生活的樹林。
有一天，一個年輕的獵人在這個怪物居住的樹林裏打獵。他不知道怪物住在這裏。他跑進了怪物的地盤。
勇敢的獵人拿出了他的箭，並射向這個怪物。怪物沒有感到任何疼痛，並攻擊獵人。“無論它怎麼被射殺，但它還是沒事......”獵人又射出了幾箭，但是在這個怪物還是沒有受傷。獵人只剩一隻箭了。
“那怪物一定有一個弱點。對了!一定是它的眼睛。”獵人把他最後的一隻箭射向怪物的眼睛。怪物被射中了。它尖叫着倒下了。獵人好不容易殺死了怪物，然後意識到這就是人們害怕的那隻怪物。
“這個怪物必須燒燬了，然後它就不能再不會打擾人類了。”這個獵人生了火，把怪物化爲了灰燼。突然，吹起了一陣奇怪的風，而這些灰燼變成一種昆蟲。
這些昆蟲攻擊獵人，並開始吮吸他的血。獵人從昆蟲那裏逃走了。這些灰燼變成了蚊子，仍然在每個炎熱的夏天來騷擾我們。
