Long long ago,The birds and the beasts……那是很多年前学校书本中的一个故事的开头

　　故事全文如下：

　　 Why The Bat Come Out Only At Night
　　Long long ago, there was a war between the birds and the beasts. No one knows what they fought about.
　　The bat did not know whose side he should take. He thought and thought, then decided he must try to be on the side of the winners.
　　So he watched from far away. After a while, it seemed that the birds were going to win.He flew over to join them.
　　"What on earth are you doing here?" a bird shouted at him.
　　"Can't you see I'm a bird?" the bat said with a smile. "Look , I have wings,just like you."
　　Come along,then,"said the bird."Don't hide behind others."
　　But things changed soon. Now it seemed that the beasts were winning. So the bat left the birds in a hurry and went over to the beasts.
　　"What are you doing on our side?" an animal called out to him. "Are you spying on us?"
　　"Don't you know I'm one of you?" asked the bat, showing his teeth."Look. Can't you see I've got teeth ,too?"
　　"Who are you trying to fool?" said the animals. "We saw you fighting on the side of the birds just now."
　　So the beasts drove him off. Of course the birds refused to take him back.
　　When the beasts and the birds saw neither side could win, they decided to stop fighting.
　　Neither beasts nor birds would have the bat as their friend,so he was afraid to leave his home. Ever since then, the bat comes out only at night.

再答： 　　 为什么蝙蝠只在夜间出动 　　很久很久以前，在鸟类和哺乳类动物之间展开了激战。没有人知道他们为什么交战。 　　蝙蝠不知道该站在谁的一边。他想了又想，然后决定必须站在胜利者的一边。 　　所以他从远处观看。过了一会儿，好像鸟儿会赢。他飞过去加入他们。 　　“你在这里干什么？”一只小鸟对他喊道。 　　“你没看见我是一只鸟吗？”蝙蝠笑着说。“看，我有和你一样的翅膀。” 　　“原来如此，欢迎！”鸟儿说。“不要躲在后面。” 　　 但事情很快发生了变化。 就目前的形式看来，野兽很有可能会取得胜利。这时，蝙蝠匆匆离开鸟类，而加入到野兽的阵营。 　　“你在我身边干什么呢？”一个哺乳类动物在招呼它。“你是在暗中监视我们吗？” 　　“难道你不知道我也是你们中的一员吗？”蝙蝠露出它的牙齿，问道：“你难道看不见我的牙齿吗？” 　　“你是试图在愚弄谁吗？”哺乳类动物说。“我们已经看到你刚才站在鸟类一方的阵营中了。” 　　因此哺乳类动物把它赶走了。鸟类当然也不肯收留它。 　　当哺乳类动物和鸟类看到哪一方赢，它们决定停止战斗。 　　哺乳类动物和鸟类都不把蝙蝠当作它们的朋友，因此它害怕出门。 从此以后，蝙蝠只在夜里出来。
