Here's a story on how strange is life with its changes
And it happened not long ago.
On a high mountain plain,where the sagebrush arranges
A playground south of the snow
Lived a lamb with a coat of remarkable sheen,
It would glint in the sunlight all sparkly and clean,
Such a source of great pride
that it caused him to preen.
And he'd break out in high stepp'n dance.
He would dance for his neighbors across the way.
I must say that they found his dancin' enhancin',
For they'd also join in the play.(sound of other animals)
Then one day…(*pulls sheep away and shaves fluffy coat off..all naked*)(sound of shears; then lightening,thunder,and rain)
Then a-boundin up the slope
Came a great American jackalope.
This sage of the sage,this rare hare of hope,
Caused to pause and check out the lamb.
"Hey kid,why the mope?"
(inpitiful voice)"I used to be something all covered with fluff,
And I'd dance in the sunlight and show off my stuff,
Then they hauled me away in a manner quite rough
And sheared me and dropped me back here in the buff.
And if that's not enough
Now my friends all laugh at me
Cause they think I look ridiculous,funny,and pink."
"Pink?Pink?Well,what's wrong with pink?
Seems you've got a pink kink in your think.
Does it matter what color?Well,that gets nope.
Be it pink purple or heliotrope.
Now sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down,
When you find that you're down well just look around:
You still got a body,good legs and fine feet,
Get your head in the right place and hey,you're complete!
Now as for the dancin',you can do more,
You can reach great heights,in fact you can soar.
You just get a leg up and ya slap it on down,
And you'll find you're up in what's called a bound.
Bound,bound,and rebound.
Bound and you're up right next to the sky,
And I think you can do it if you give it a try,
First get a leg up,slap it on down…"
(Music and bounding sound)
So every year,along about May,
They'd load him up and they'd haul him away,
And they'd shave him and dump him all naked and bare.
He learned to live with it,he didn't care,
He'd just bound,bound,bound,and rebound.
Now in this world of ups and downs…
So nice to know there are jackalopes around.
这个故事是关于生命变化莫测
它就发生在不久前
高山的平原上
有着植物和水塘,那是欢乐天堂
这里住着一头无忧无虑的羊
它的羊毛在阳光下闪耀
因为这身羊毛,让它非常骄傲
它会开心的表演舞蹈
它毫不保留跳给所有人看
邻居们被美妙的舞姿所吸引
一起加入与它同欢
有一天
从远方的山坡上
来了一只美洲跳跳羊
它最有智慧,带来希望之光
突然间,它开口问道：
“嘿,孩子啊!为什么悲伤?”
“我以前有羊毛和闪闪发光
让我在阳光下跳舞,感觉好棒
人类把我抓走,根本无力抵抗
我变成这样,不再神采飞扬
还不只这些呢,朋友全都在笑我
因为我……光秃秃很滑稽,浑身粉红色”
“粉红?粉红?那有什么不对
你的想法才需要改变
颜色能决定一切?
不,它当然不能
粉红色,紫色,都无所谓
生命会有高潮,偶尔也有低潮
当你心情低落就看看四周
你有健康身体,没痛又没病
只要换个角度想,世界多美丽
至于你的舞蹈,加点花招
想再创高峰,保证能成功!
先把脚抬高,然后用力的跳
你会发现能够自由自在的跳
跳、跳、不停的跳
跳到空中,像天那么高
只要努力去做
你一定会有收获
先抬高一脚,再用力的跳”
于是每年的某一天
羊被抓走,人类剪它的毛
回来的时候
总是全身光溜溜
它渐渐适应了,不再害羞
它会跳跳,不停的跳
人生在世,起伏不定
很高兴跳跳羊和我们相依
