Once upon a time, there was a beaver (海狸) named Furry living in the forest. He had lots of friends and liked to play outside. One day, a big wolf came and started saying, “This is my forest and I am bigger and stronger than you. So you will have to move out of the forest by tomorrow or I will destroy (摧毁) your house.”
Later that night Furry and his friends were thinking what to do. Furry suggested that they should build a trap (陷阱) to catch the wolf and teach him a lesson that there was somebody stronger than him. The beavers decided it would be a deep hole covered with sticks (树枝) on it.
One of the beavers asked, “How are we going to do that?” Furry suggested that they could ask the rabbits for help to build the trap. About one hour later the beavers went to the rabbits’ house and explained (解释) what was going to happen tomorrow morning.
The rabbits agreed to help. It took them the whole night but they finished it by the morning. In the morning they all hid up in the trees. The wolf came and barked at them to pack their bags and leave the forest as soon as possible. Since the wolf wasn’t looking where he was going, he fell into the trap.
All the animals came and saw that the wolf was trapped in the hole. The wolf kept asking whether they could let him out of the hole, but Furry said, “We would but since you have been so unkind to us we will not let you out of the hole.” Then the wolf promised that he would never tell them to move out of the forest and would be friendly to them.
Furry and his friends forgave (原谅) the wolf and they got a big stick and dropped it down the hole so that the wolf could climb out.
