The Little Detective
故事全文
Once upon a time, there was a cute little boar. As he loved to help others, all the animals in the woods loved to be his friend and play games with him. However, some animals discovered that every time Little Boar came over to play, food would disappear from the fridge. Everyone began to suspect that it was Little Boar who sneakily ate people’s food when no one was looking.
One day, Little Monkey told Little Rabbit,“I invited Little Boar to my house to play, but after he went home, I couldn’t find my bananas. I heard many people saying that Little Boar keeps stealing food from others. Maybe the reason why Little Boar looks so round and plump is because he sneakily ate our food. I am pretty sure that Little Boar has eaten all my bananas.”
Little Rabbit asked Little Monkey,“Has anyone in this forest ever seen Little Boar stealing food from others?”Little Monkey thought for a while and shook his head and said,“No one ever saw Little Boar stealing food.”Little Rabbit continued,“Since no one ever saw Little Boar stealing food, why are you so sure that it was he who stole your bananas? Be cautious of believing this kind of baseless gossip. Or you might wrong Little Boar by mistake!”
Little Monkey thought about it and felt that Little Rabbit was right. So, he stopped believing in the gossip, and helped Little Rabbit to catch the real thief. Finally, they caught the thief – Little Rat. Little Boar’s popularity made Little Rat very jealous. And so, whenever Little Boar went to someone’s house to play, Little Rat stole food from them to make everyone think that it was Little Boar who was the culprit.
