The Story o f Doctor Dolittle
Ad ap t ed f r o m a story by Hugh Lofting
Once upon a time, m any years ago — when our grandfathers
were little children — there was a doctor and his name was John
Dolittle He lived in a little town called Puddleby-on-the-M arsh
All the people, young and old, knew him very well and when he
w alked down the street in his high hat everybody said:
“There goes the doctor H e ’s a very clever m an.”
All the dogs and cats knew him and even the birds that lived in
the roof of the church knew him
The house in which he lived was quite small but his garden was
very large and had a lot of grass and flowers His sister, Sarah
Dolittle, took care of the doctor and the doctor took care o f the
garden He loved anim als and kept m any pets He had goldfish in
the pond at the end o f the garden, rabbits, white m ice, a cow, a
horse, chickens and m any, m any more His favourite pets were
D ab-D ab the duck, Jip the dog and Polynesia the parrot His sister
alw ays said that she could never keep the house tidy w hen there
were so m any animals
11
Trang 15O ne day w hen an old lady cam e to see the doctor she sat o n a
he d g e h o g which was asleep on the sofa The o ld lady ne ve r came again Then his sister, Sarah D olittle, cam e to see him and said:
“ John, people will not com e to see you if you have so m any pets in the house A d oc tor c annot have a living room for hedgehogs and
m ice Mr Jenkins and M r Parsons say that they will never com e near your house again Soon we will have no money because the best
pe ople w o n ’t have you for a d o c to r.”
“ B ut I like my pets m ore than the ‘best p e o p le ’ ,” said the doctor His sister left the room , she knew she c o u ld n ’t talk to him about his pets
So, as time went on, the doctor got m ore and m ore pets but nobody came to see him Only the C a t ’s-m eat-M an came because he lik e d all anim als John Dolittle had more and more pets and it took
a lot o f money to buy them food So he sold his piano Then he sold his bro w n suit that he wore on Sundays And now w hen he walked dow n the street in his high hat people said to one another, “There goes John D olittle There was a time when he was the best d oc tor in town Look at him now He h a s n ’t any money and his socks and shoes are nothing b u t h o le s ” But the dogs and the cats and the birds loved him as before
One day the d oc tor was in his kitchen with the C a t ’s-m eat-M an
“ You should take care o f p e o p le ’s p e ts ,” said the C a t ’s-meat- Man The parrot Polynesia stopped talking and started to listen
“ You know so m uch about p e ts ,” said the C a t ’s-m eat-M an “My wife read your book about cats to me I t ’s wonderful You know how cats think You could m ake a lot of m oney Do you know that?
I can send you all the people who have pets that are not very well You can be their d o c to r ”
The C a t ’s-m eat-M an left the doctor to think about his idea The
pa rro t flew on to the d o c to r ’s table and said: “That m an is clever
T h a t ’s what you m ust do Take care o f anim als and not p e o p le ”
“ Oh, there are a lot of animal d o c to rs ,” said John Dolittle
“ Yes, there are a lo t,” said Polynesia “But they are not as good
as you Now listen and I ’ll tell you som ething Did you know that
a nim als can ta lk ? ” “I knew that parrots can ta lk ,” said the doctor,
“ Oh, we parrots can speak two languages — p e o p le ’s language and b i r d s ’ la n g u a g e ,” said Polynesia “If I say, ‘Polly wants a b i s
c u i t ,’ you u n d e rsta n d me But listen: Ka-ka, oi-ee, fee-fee^ ”
“W hat did you s a y ? ” said the doctor
“ I said, ‘Is the porridge hot y e t ? ’ — in b i r d s ’ language.”
“ You have never talked that way to me b e fo re ,” said the doctoi
12
Trang 16‘T e l l me some m o re ”
He went to get some paper and a pencil
“ Now d o n ’t go too fast and I ’ll w rite it down Give me the
B i r d s ’ A B C first — slow ly n o w ” And that is how the d oc tor came
to know that anim als have a language of their own and that they can
talk to each other Soon, with the p a r r o t ’s help, the doctor learnt the
language of the anim als so well that he could talk to them and
u n d e rsta n d what they said
W hen the C a t ’s-m eat-M an told everybody that John Dolittle
was now an animal doctor people began to bring him their pets He
had a lot m ore work than before And you will u nderstand that the
p ets were so happy that at last they had a doctor who really knew

The Frog Prince
Long ago there lived a king who had beautiful daughters The
y o u n g e st was the m ost be autiful of them all They all lived in a
v e ry large palace A round the palace there were w onderful gardens
13
Trang 17There was also a large forest and there under a tree was a pond
O ften on a warm day the little princess went into this forest to play with her ball It was a golden ball and it was her favourite toy She threw the ball and caught it Som etimes she threw it over the branches of the tree She liked to see how high she could throw it Now it so happ e n ed that one day the princess threw it so high that she c o u ld n ’t catch it and it fell in the pond The princess knew the pond was very deep Her father often told her not to go too near the pond because it could be dangerous She sat down and cried “I shall never see my beautiful ball a g a in ,” she thought
“W h a t ’s the m atter, little p rin c e s s? ” said a voice “W hy are you
c ry in g ? ” The little princess looked around her and saw a frog “Oh, what do you want, you ugly, old frog? I ’ve lost my beautiful golden ball for ever because i t ’s fallen in the p o n d ” “T h a t’s no p ro b le m ,” said the frog “I can easily find it for you W hat will you give m e if
I do it for y o u ? ” “I will give you all my dresses and my to y s,” said the little princess
“ Thank you but I d o n ’t want your dresses and your to y s,” said the frog “Can I be your friend, sit near you at the palace table, eat from your golden plate, drink from your golden cup and sleep near you in your lovely b e d ? ” “Oh yes, yes I ’ll do anything if you ju s t
b ring me my golden b a ll.” The princess thought that the frog could only live near water “ How could he come into the palace?" she thought
W hen the frog heard the princess say “ y e s” h e ju m p e d into the pond to find the ball Soon he was there again and the golden ball was in his mouth He dropped it on the grass next to the piinccss She was so happy to have her ball She threw it and c aught il She forgot about the frog and started to run home
“ W ait, w a it,” said the frog “ Please d o n ’t run sc fast I cannot go
