故事

很久很久以前，在神创造完所有动物后，它们都生活在一片非常美丽的森林里。

在森林的一角，有一条小小的溪流。这条小溪成为几乎所有小动物最喜欢的玩耍地点。

它们喜欢跳过小溪。每一只小动物都想跳得更远，看看谁跳得最厉害。

小鹿会跳得很高，轻松越过小溪。小象会抬起它粗壮的大腿，一步一步跨过去。小猴子会像荡秋千一样，从高处荡过小溪。有时候，一群小兔子会踩着溪里的小石头，一跳一跳地过河。

有一天，一只很小的小狐狸站在溪边，看着大家玩耍。他觉得看起来很好玩。

他正准备跳过去的时候，忽然发现自己只有三条腿。

他低头看着自己的腿，数了数：“1，2，3……我不是应该有四条腿吗？”

他看着其他四条腿的动物，又数了数：“1，2，3，4。”

他再看那些两条腿的动物，想：“他们本来就应该有两条腿，对，1，2。

可是我应该有四条腿，但我只有三条。”

他又数了一遍：“1，2，3！”

他觉得有点奇怪，于是跑去问神：

“神啊，你不是把我的爸爸妈妈都造得有四条腿吗？为什么我只有三条腿呢？”

他又低头数了一次：“你看，1，2，3。”

神满有慈爱地看着他说：

“亲爱的小狐狸，你有三条腿，是因为我给了你三条腿。你正是我所造的样子，是完美的。现在去和你的朋友们一起玩吧。”

小狐狸犹豫了一下，看见神正走向一男一女，他们躲在灌木后面，看起来有些害怕。

小狐狸心里想：

“我永远不会害怕神，因为祂说我是完美的，我知道祂爱我。祂给了我三条完美的腿，我也可以用它们跳过小溪。”

于是，小狐狸跑着、跳着，开心地来到小溪边。

他向朋友们点点头，说他也要试着跳过去。大家都为他欢呼鼓掌，他等待着轮到自己。

先是一只小鸟低低地飞过小溪。接着，两只小狗因为被一只小猪追赶，跳了过去。

然后轮到小狐狸了。

所有动物的目光都看着他。

小狐狸环顾四周，走到一根木头旁边，把它当作小船一样，漂过了小溪。

大家都笑了，小狐狸也开心地向大家鞠了一躬。

小溪边好像成了一个欢乐的马戏团。

经过一整天的跳跃和玩耍，所有动物都在森林茂盛的草地上快乐地吃草休息。

突然，大家听到一声巨响，大地开始震动。

一开始很轻微，但越来越强烈！

发生了地震！

大家看到神似乎正指向森林之外的方向，正和那一男一女说话。

地面再次震动，所有动物都朝同一个方向跑去，好像有人在带领它们。

地震使小溪变得更宽了，但大家必须到达对岸。

因为小动物们每天练习跳跃，它们都顺利跳过了小溪。

除了那只三条腿的小狐狸。

他看见朋友们都已经在对岸，只有他还留在这边。

于是他望向神，看见神正对他微笑。

小狐狸也笑了，因为在他的心里，他知道神一定会帮助他跨过这条宽阔的小溪，即使他只有三条腿。

这一次，他甚至不需要木头。

他跳得比任何狐狸都更高、更远。

所有动物都为他鼓掌欢呼。

当他低头看看自己落脚的地方时，他心里充满喜乐。

其他动物也惊讶地看着眼前的一幕。

它们和小狐狸一起数：

“1，2，3，4！”

是的，他现在有四条完美的小腿了。

他和所有动物一起，用各自特别的声音赞美神。

当小狐狸最需要帮助的时候，神与他同在。

The Three Legged Fox

A fictional story near the time of creation about a small fox who had big faith in God.For storybook version Click here 

The fawn would jump very high over the creek. Then a baby elephant would lift its big legs one at a time to cross over. The monkey would swing over the creek from high above like on a trapeze. Once in a while, a bunch of baby rabbits would use little rocks in the creek to hop across.

One day, a very small fox stood by the creek, watching the others. He thought it looked like fun. He was about to jump across too, when he realized that he only had 3 legs. He looked at his legs and counted, “1, 2, 3, Am I not supposed to have 4 legs?” he asked himself. He looked at the other four legged animals and counted, “1, 2, 3, 4.” Then he looked at the two legged animals and thought, “They are supposed to have two, that’s right, 1, 2, but I am supposed to have 4, and I only have 3.” He counted again, “1, 2, 3!”

He felt a little weird, so he ran to God and asked Him. “God, did you not make my mother and father with 4 legs, how come I only have 3?” He looked down again and counted, “See, 1, 2 , 3.”

“God looked at him with love and said, "My dear little fox, you have 3 because that’s all I gave you, and you are perfect the way I made you. Now, go along and play with your friends.”

The fox hesitated for a moment and watched God walk towards a man and woman who were hiding under a bush looking afraid. He thought to himself, “I will never be afraid of God, because He said I am perfect and I know He loves me. He gave me 3 perfect legs that I can use to jump over the creek.” So he ran, and skipped and hopped. When he reached the creek, the little fox nodded to his friends and announced that he was going to jump too. Everyone cheered and clapped, and he waited for his turn.

First, a bird flew very low over the creek. Next, two dogs jumped across because there was a pig chasing them. Then it was his turn.

Everyone’s eyes were on him. The little fox looked around, stepped onto a log, and used it as a raft to cross the creek. Everyone laughed as the fox gleefully bowed his head. It seemed like fun circus going on at the creek.

After a long day of jumping and playing, all of the animals happily grazed in the lush green parts of the forest.

Suddenly, everyone heard a loud rumble and the ground began to shake. It was slow at first, but it became stronger and stronger! It was an earthquake! Everyone looked around and saw that God seemed to be pointing beyond the beautiful forest as He spoke with the man and the woman. The ground shook again and all the animals started to run in the same direction, as if someone were leading them there.

The creek was much wider now because of the earthquake, but they needed to get to the other side. Because the little animals practiced every day, everyone made it across, everyone that is except for the 3 legged fox. He looked across and saw all of his friends on the other side, everyone except him.

Then he looked towards God, and saw God smile at him. The little fox smiled too because deep in his heart he knew God would help him cross the very wide creek, even with only 3 legs. This time he didn’t even need a log. He jumped the highest and the farthest that any fox could, and all the other animals clapped and cheered.

He was filled with joy when he looked down at where he landed, and everyone else was in awe for what they saw. They all counted with the little fox. “1, 2, 3, 4” Yes, he now had 4 perfect little legs. He and all the animals praised God, each with their own special voices. God was there for the little fox, when the fox needed Him the most.
