有人能挪一下那个西瓜吗？

Once upon a time there was a big bathtub1 that had been thrown in themiddle of the forest. It was the best home for all types of little insects. They had tobe careful of just one thing while living there： To make sure the plughole2remained3 free from obstruction4 because they might all drown5 if rain fellsuddenly6. The burly7 beetles were put in charge8 of keeping an eye on theplughole to make sure that it was never blocked9.

But one day the plughole was blocked by something very big—awatermelon！ The watermelon was so big that not even the biggest beetle， noteven the five biggest， could move it. In fact， it was so big that not even all ofthe beetles working together could move the watermelon from the plughole.

All the strongest insects tried their very best to move the watermelon butcouldn’t move it even the tiniest bit. Some of the insects then tried to come up witha way to move the watermelon， but they had no luck either. At last， the wisestinsects started to plan the run away from the bathtub.

An ant asked if she could take the watermelon away with her.Very funny！ But the ant wasn’t joking at all！ At the end of the day，she came back and this time with thousands upon thousands of otherants. In perfect order， each ant went up to the watermelon， bitoff a piece and walked off with it.

Just a few days later， there was not a single trace10 of thebig watermelon. From that day on， many of the most difficultjobs in the bathtub became small ones that were easier tocarry out little by little.

从前，有一个巨大的浴缸被扔在森林的中央。这是所有小昆虫最好不过的家园。住在那里时，它们只需小心一件事：确保排水孔畅通无阻，因为如果突然下雨，它们可能都会淹死。那些魁梧的甲虫负责盯着排水孔，确保它永远不会被堵住。

但是有一天，排水孔被一个很大的东西堵住了———一个西瓜！这个西瓜太大了，即使是最大的甲虫，甚至是五只最大的甲虫一起上也没法移动它。事实上，它是如此之大，以至于所有的甲虫一起努力也不能把西瓜从排水孔那儿移走。

所有最强壮的昆虫都尽了最大努力去移动那个西瓜，但却一点都移动不了。还有的昆虫试图想出一个移动西瓜的方法，但是它们也没想出来。最后，最聪明的昆虫开始计划逃离浴缸了。

一只蚂蚁问它是否可以把西瓜带走。真好笑！但是这只蚂蚁一点也没有开玩笑！在这一天晚上，它回来了，这次带着成千上万只蚂蚁。所有蚂蚁都井然有序地走到西瓜前咬下来一片，然后轻松带走。

仅仅几天后，那个大西瓜就不见了踪影。从那天起，浴缸里许多很困难的工作都拆解成了小事，一点一点地就变得更容易完成了。
