六年级英语下册Reading for Pleasure《The Elephant and the spider》
It was afternoon in the forest.The sun was behind the trees.
The animals were quiet.They were waiting for the sun to go down.
There was an old spider.Slowly she worked on a web.It was a very large web.
The spider made the web between two trees.The web was silver and gold in the evening
sun.The spider worked,and the sun set.Night came.
Nearby an old elephant was dying.He walked slowly,swinging his old trunk.Then the elephant
slept.
There was a small,black bird in a tree above the web."So,what are you going to catch in
your web?"she asked.
"I'm going to catch an elephant,"said the spider.
All the animals laughed and laughed.
The spider worked and worked.
In the morning,the sun camp up slowly.
It shone on the web.The web was beautiful in the sunlight.
The elephant woke up and moved slowly.
He was looking for a place to die.
The bird watched from the branch.The snake watched from the tree.The mouse did not
move.The spider stayed at the edge of her web,and waited.
The elephant walked into the sunlight and he saw the web.The web was very colourful.It was
blue and silver,purple and gold,yellow,orange and green.
"This."thought the elephant,"is beautiful."
The animals watched in silence.The elephant lay down and the spider's web fell over
him."So".said the spider,"I caught an elephant.And now I need to sleep."
Later in the day,people came into the forest.There they found a dead elephant.And next to
the elephant was a small spider.

At night,the spider worked.Other animals watched her.
There were night birds that did not sleep.There was a snake in a tree.
A little mouse looked up at the beautiful web,silver and gold in the moonlight.
"Why are you working at night?"they asked.
"The other spiders are sleeping."
"You can see,"said the spider."This is going to be the most beautiful web."
"It's very large,"said the mouse.
"No flies are that large,"said the snake.
"I don't want to catch a fly,"said the spider.
