　　In Calaveras, California, there lived a man whose name was Jim Smiley. Jim enjoyed betting somuch that he would bet on anything.

He didn’t care which side he bet on, as long as he had a bet.

　　One day, Jim showed a frog to a stranger who had just arrived in Calaveras, and bet thestranger forty dollars that the frog can jump farther and faster than any other in CalaverasCounty. The stranger said he didn’t see anything about the frog different from any other, and ifhe had a frog he would bet Jim. Jim left his frog with the stranger and go out to find a frog forthe stranger. Meanwhile, the stranger took out a bag of gunshot, forcing the frog’s mouthopen and poured the shot into it.

　　Soon Jim returned with a frog for the stranger.The two frogs were put on the floor, and theneach man gave his frog a push. The stranger’s frog hopped off smartly. But Jim’s frog just satthere, unable to move an inch. Jim had no choice. He gave forty dollars to the stranger, whotook the money and started away. Jim picked up his frog, and found it extremely heavy. Heturned it upside down, and the gunshot came out. He knew he had been fooled and, like a madman, started running after the stranger.

　　As he ran, he passed one of his friends, who asked him where he was going.

　　"To catch a thief!" shouted Jim. "No matter how fast he may run, I'll catch him. I'll bet you fivedollars!"

　　在加利福尼亞的卡拉維拉斯縣，有個(gè)人名叫吉姆•斯邁里。他好打賭，見什么賭什么。要是有人跟他說“早上好”，他會說，這天早上不怎么樣，不信就打個(gè)賭。只要有賽馬和斗雞，他都要去賭。在哪一邊下注他不在乎，有機(jī)會賭就行。

　　有一天，吉姆見到一個(gè)來到卡拉維拉斯縣的陌生人，就把自己的一只青蛙給他看，說這是卡拉維拉斯全縣跳得最快最遠(yuǎn)的青蛙，不信就打個(gè)賭，賭40塊錢。陌生人說他看不出那只蛙有什么非凡之處，如果他手頭有一只蛙，就賭一賭。聽了這話，吉姆就把自己的青蛙交給陌生人看管，出去為陌生人找一只蛙來。他不在的時(shí)候，陌生人掏出一口袋鉛彈，掰開青蛙嘴，把鉛彈灌了進(jìn)去。

　　不久吉姆就給陌生人帶了一只青蛙回來。兩只青蛙在地上擺好，然后各人將各自的青蛙輕輕一推。陌生人的青蛙一下子就跳起來，跳得好快好遠(yuǎn)。但吉姆的蛙卻呆在那里紋絲不動(dòng)，像釘在地上似的。吉姆無奈，只得交出40塊錢。陌生人拿了錢就走了。吉姆把自己的蛙拿起來，覺得沉甸甸的。他把蛙倒提起來一抖，鉛彈掉了出來。他知道自己上了當(dāng)，就像瘋子似的去追陌生人。

　　正跑著，一個(gè)朋友瞧見他，不問他風(fēng)風(fēng)火火地去干什么。

　　“去抓賊!”他吼道，“無論他跑得有多快，我都要追上他。不信打5塊錢的賭!”

According to legend, Paul Bunyan was a giant. He was so big that a small step he tookwas about three city blocks. He created much of America. He dug Puget Sound in Washingtonto float huge logs to the mill. He cleared trees from North and South Dakota and made the landin those states suitable for farming. He dragged his huge ax in the field of Colorado, and thuscreated the Grand Canyon. He also scooped out the Great Lakes to provide drinking water forhis giant blue ox, Babe. Babe weighed fifteen tons before breakfast and stood sixty feet tall.From the tip of one horn to the tip of the other, it measured 42 ax handles and a plug ofchewing tobacco. The ox ate tremendous amounts of hay and potato peels and could haul awhole forest of logs. When Babe needed new shoes, the blacksmith had to open a new ironmine in Minnesota. The shoes were so heavy that the blacksmith sank knee-deep into solid rockwhile carrying them. Babe hadn’t always been blue. But nobody knew for sure how it had cometo be that colour. Some said it had turned blue from playing outdoors too long during theWinter of the Blue Snow.

　　保羅·班揚(yáng)是美國傳說中的英雄。他是個(gè)伐木工，住在美國西北的伐木營地里。他由于力大無窮，伐木快如割草而威震四方。保羅是個(gè)巨人，他只須邁一小步就能跨過三條街。美國的大部分山山水水據(jù)說都是他創(chuàng)造的。他掘出了華盛頓州的皮尤吉特灣，好把木材從水路運(yùn)到鋸木場。他伐光了南北達(dá)科他所有的樹木，將林地改做農(nóng)田。他在科羅拉多的田野里拖了一下他的巨斧，結(jié)果劃出了大峽谷。他的藍(lán)牛貝貝口渴時(shí)，他就從五大湖里舀出水來給他喝。藍(lán)牛貝貝高六十英尺，早飯前重十五噸。兩角之間的長度為四十二斧柄外加一塊嚼煙。貝貝飯量極大，須為他準(zhǔn)備大量干草和土豆皮。但它的力氣也極大，一次就能拉走一座森林的木材。貝貝需要釘掌時(shí)，鐵匠就得在明尼蘇達(dá)新開一座鐵礦。那副牛蹄鐵重得嚇人，鐵匠搬它們時(shí)，兩腿陷在堅(jiān)硬的巖石里，深達(dá)膝蓋。藍(lán)牛并非生下來就是藍(lán)色的。它究竟是怎么變藍(lán)的，誰也說不清。有人說這是因?yàn)橄滤{(lán)雪那年冬天，貝貝貪玩兒，在外頭待得太久了。
