第34章 吸血蝙蝠

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep。Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it。He told them to go away and let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in。

“OK,follow me”he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him。Down through the valley they went,across a river and into a forest full of trees。Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him。

“Now,did you see that tree over there?”he asked。“Yes,Yes,Yes!”the bats all screamed in a frenzy。“Good”said the bat,“Because I didn't as hell!”

夜里,一只吸血蝙蝠拍着沾满血的翅膀飞进了洞穴,它把自己倒挂在穴壁上想睡一会儿。很快其他的蝙蝠都闻到了它身上的血腥味然后开始骚扰它问从哪儿吸到血的。

它想睡会儿觉,让它们都走开。但是它们坚持要问,它后来不得不让步了。

它说:“好吧,跟我来。”然后就飞出了洞穴,身后跟了好几百只蝙蝠。它们飞过了山谷和小河,然后飞进了树林。最后它的速度放慢了下来,其他的蝙蝠都兴奋地在它身边转来转去。

它问:“现在你们看到那边那棵树了没?”其他的蝙蝠疯狂地叫道“是的!是的!是的!”他说:“太好了。因为我根本就没看到!”
