The Little Turtle Who Wanted to Swim Far | 蓝思值480L · 适中难度版
There was a little turtle named Tim. Tim lived in the ocean near a small island.
One day, Tim met an old turtle. "Where are you going?" Tim asked.
"I'm going to a far beach," the old turtle said. "It's very far. It takes a long time to get there."
"How far is it?" Tim asked.
"About 500 kilometers," the old turtle said. "I go there every year to lay my eggs."
Tim wanted to go too. But he was small and scared.
"Can I come with you?" Tim asked.
"Of course," the old turtle said. "But you must be patient. The trip takes many days."
So Tim and the old turtle started swimming. They swam and swam. Sometimes the water was cold. Sometimes there were big waves.
After many days, they arrived! Tim saw a beautiful beach with soft sand.
"We made it!" Tim said. He was very happy.
The old turtle smiled. "You did it because you were brave and patient."
Tim learned something important: big dreams need time and courage to come true.

想要游向远方的小海龟
有一只叫Tim的小海龟。Tim住在一座小岛附近的海洋里。
一天，Tim遇到了一只老海龟。"你要去哪里？"Tim问。
"我要去一个很远的海滩，"老海龟说。"非常远。要花很长时间才能到。"
"有多远？"Tim问。
"大约500公里，"老海龟说。"我每年都去那里产卵。"
Tim也想去。但他很小，有点害怕。
"我能和你一起去吗？"Tim问。
"当然，"老海龟说。"但你必须有耐心。旅途要花很多天。"
于是Tim和老海龟开始游了。他们游啊游。有时候水很冷，有时候有大浪。
过了很多天，他们到了！Tim看到了一个美丽的海滩，沙子软软的。
"我们到了！"Tim说。他非常开心。
老海龟笑着说："你做到了，因为你勇敢又有耐心。"
Tim学到了一个重要的道理：大梦想需要时间和勇气才能实现。
