今天我期望而久的朗誦比賽,,終於到了!!

我今日一朝早,就是回來練習.有很多人,一早就回來,實在太令人感動了!!

我地以話劇的意念來表達這首"poem"

在這表演的三堂前,我們不斷地讀著這首"poem"

"

Jim Who Ran Away From His Nurse and Was Eaten by a Lion

by Hilaire Belloc

 There was a boy whose name was Jim
  His friends were very good to him 
  They gave him tea and cakes and jam
  And slices of delicious ham


  And chocolate with pink inside
  And little tricycles to ride
  They read him stories through and through 
  and even took him to the zoo
  But there it was the awful fate
  Befell him, which I now relate

  You know (at least you ought to know
  For I have often told you so)
  That children never are allowed
  To leave their nurses in a crowd

  Now this was Jim's especial foible
  He ran away when he was able
  And on this inauspicious day
  He slipped his hand and ran away
  He hadn't  gone a yard when 

             BANG

  With open jaws a lion sprang
  And hungrily began to eat
  The boy, beginning at his feet
  Now just imagine how it feels
  When first your toes and then your heels
  And then by varying degrees
  Your shins and ankles, calves and knees
  Are slowly eaten bit by bit
  No wonder Jim detested it
  No wonder that he shouted "Ai"
  The honest keeper heard his cry
  Though very fat, he almost ran
  To help the little gentleman
  "Ponto," he ordered as he came
  For Ponto was the lion's name
  "Ponto," he said with angry frown
  "Down sir, let go, put it down!"
  The lion made a sudden stop
  He let the dainty morsel drop
  And slunk reluctant to his cage
  Snarling with disappointed rage
  But when he bent him over Jim
  The honest keeper's eyes grew dim
  The lion having reached his head
  The miserable boy was dead
  When nurse informed his parents they
  Were more concerned than I can say
  His mother as she dried her eyes
  Said "It gives me no surprise
  He would not do as he was told."
  His father who was self-controlled
  Bade all the children round attend
  To James's miserable end.
  And always keep ahold of nurse
  For fear of finding something worse."

這首"poem"在我不知不覺間,

己經背了幾個星期了.........

這首"poem"是講述一個男仔有一天不理會nurse

的說話,走了,怎料就送人入虎口,

就這樣子就死了啦!!

當然他父母是十分傷心啦!

雖然我感受不到,但我已是盡了投入了!!

練了一陣子.終於要上車,到達會場了..

我們在車上不斷練,心中突然有一下子的快樂....

每一間學校都盡力為自己的學校出力,,

但當我們表演的時候,可能是太有趣,

令笑聲此起彼落..

當在評審員在宣佈結果時,

我們平靜了........

但在我的心目中我們並沒有落敗呀!!

後記:與第三名,只是失一分.
