　　小学英语阅读：The Beetle Who Went on His Travels

　　Once upon a time， a King had a horse with golden horseshoes. That horse had slender legs， bright eyes and a mane covering above its neck like a veil. It was very beautiful.

　　The horse rode through the gunpowder smoke and a rain of bullets carrying the King on its back in the battles. He beat off enemies by kicking his legs， and saved the King‘s life by crossing the dead bodies of his enemies. It was more valuable than anything else. That’s why the horse got the golden horseshoes.

　　A Beetle who listened to the news came out of his barn and went to the horseshoer. “I want to have golden horseshoes like the horse has. Why can‘t I be as good as the horse？ People always bring it food and drinks and comb its hair. I am living in the King’s barn， too.”

　　“But do you know how the horse got the golden horseshoes？” The horseshoer shouted at the Beetle. “ I know I deserve better than I am treated now. I will go to the outside world and will have great success.” The horseshoer yelled at the Beetle wanting him to go away.

　　It was not clear how far the Beetle had flown， but the Beetle arrived in a beautiful garden full of roses and lavender fragrance. The Ladybugs of the garden said， “This is such a wonderful place. Isn‘t it beautiful？” “I used to live in a much better place than this. I don’t understand what you said.” Beetle said arrogantly.

　　As the Beetle flew farther， a cabbage worm was crawling under the hay， and said， “What a beautiful world this is. There is the Sun with warm light. Someday， I will be born again with the beautiful wings of a butterfly.”

　　“You will you fly like a butterfly？ I am on the way from the King‘s barn. Even the horse that used to put on my old and worn shoes does not dream such an empty hope. That horse is now wearing golden horseshoes. Will you fly with wings？ I can fly right now！” Beetle stretched his wings and flew away boastfully.

　　After a short time， Beetle faced a sudden shower while he was sleeping in a wide lawn. Beetle swam to avoid the rain， but it sometimes fell down and turned him over because the Beetle was soaked in rain.

　　After a long time， the rain abated a little. The Beetle took shelter on wet a linen wrinkled from the heavy rain. A day passed， and the sky was bright and clear. Two frogs were talking to each other delightfully on the linen.
