Once upon a time, there was a little old man and a little old woman.
Their names were Mr. and Mrs. Ping.
They lived in a tiny house by a river.
Every day, they weeded the plants in their vegetable plot…fed the animals in their field…and watered the flowers in their garden.
“The beans look beautiful.”
“The hens look happy.”
“The lilies look lovely.”
They had everything they wanted…well, almost.
“I wish we had some children,” said Mrs. Ping, one evening.
“Only a teeny child could fit in our tiny house,” said Mr. Ping, sadly.
“But small things can be special too,” said his wife.
“I wouldn’t care if they were just one inch tall,” she added.
At that moment, a fairy flew by. She heard what Mr. and Mrs. Ping said.
She noticed their lovely vegetables…happy animals…and tall flowers.
“These people are kind,” thought the fairy. “I’ll be kind to them.”
She waved her wand and whispered some magic words.
“Jumping beans and flying fish, Give these folk their dearest wish.”
Soon afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Ping had a teeny weeny boy.
In fact, he was just one inch tall!
“Let’s call him Issum-boshi,” said Mrs. Ping. “It means one inch boy.”
“Or Issy, for short,” said her husband. “Um, very short.”
Each year, the Pings’ vegetables grew better…their animals grew bigger…and their flowers grew taller.
But Issy stayed small.
“Maybe if I stand on tiptoe…”
Issy was tiny.
He had a bottle top for a bathtub.
He had a shoelace for a scarf.
He had a pea for a ball.
“Goal!”
He had a button for a dinner plate.
And he had a matchbox for a bed.

Issy用的东西实在是太有趣了，如果你也变成那么小，你会用什么东西来当你的餐盘和床呢？赶快告诉大熊吧！记住，用微信搜索“跟大熊玩英语”就能找到我，小朋友，我们下期见！Bye-bye!
