Handa's Surprise

Handa's Surprise和姐妹篇Handa's Hen是我们都喜欢的绘本。Very exotic...考虑到这本书里的水果都被动物叼走了，强烈建议大家买书来听，可以和小朋友一边讲动物一边讲水果。

Handa put seven delicious fruits in a basket for her friend, Akeyo.

She will be surprised, thought Handa as she set off for Akeyo's village.

I wonder which fruit she'll like best.

Will she like the soft yellow banana...(画面上一只猴子monkey拿走了香蕉）

or the sweet-smelling guava? （鸵鸟ostrich叼走了番石榴）

Will she like the round juicy orange... (斑马zebra叼走了橙子）

or the ripe red mango? (大象elephant用鼻子trunk卷走了芒果）

Will she like the spiky-leaved pineapple...(长颈鹿giraffe卷走了菠萝）

the creamy green avocado...（羚羊gazelle叼走了牛油果）

or the tangy purple passion-fruit? （一只鹦鹉parrot叼走了百香果）

Which fruit will Akeyo like best? (篮子里的水果被动物们都叼走了，这时候一头山羊goat撞了一颗柑橘树，树上的果子都掉在了篮子里，但Handa不知道）

“Hello, Akeyo," said Handa. "I've brought you a surprise."

"Tangerines!" said Akeyo. "My favorite fruit." （歪打正着，Akeyo最喜欢柑橘了）

"Tangerines?" said Handa. "That is a SURPRISE!"
