小蝌蚪找妈妈 – 儿童故事

暖和的春天来了,池塘里有一群小蝌蚪。它们有大大的脑袋、黑灰色的身子和长长的尾巴,快活地游来游去。

小蝌蚪想:“我们的妈妈在哪里呢?”它们游啊游,看见鸭妈妈带着小鸭子。鸭妈妈说:“你们的妈妈有四条腿,眼睛大大的。”

它们又游啊游,看见一条大鱼,有大眼睛,可是没有腿。又看见一只乌龟,有四条腿,可是肚皮是白的吗?不是!乌龟说:“你们的妈妈肚皮是白色的,穿着绿衣服。”

这时,小蝌蚪已经长出了腿。它们看见荷叶上蹲着一只大青蛙,绿衣服、白肚皮、大眼睛。“妈妈!妈妈!”青蛙妈妈笑着说:“孩子们,你们很快也会变成青蛙的!”

道理 (Moral of the Story)

成长需要时间,坚持寻找就会有收获。
