清晨In the morning，金色的阳光洒进森林forest，小动物们animals都开始忙碌busy起来。小兔子little rabbit背着书包schoolbag一蹦一跳hops地去上学，小猴子little monkey在树上欢快地采摘着果子，小松鼠little squirrel也忙着储存过冬的粮食food。

In the morning, golden sunlight spills into the forest, and all the little animals start to get busy. The little rabbit hops to school with a schoolbag on its back, the little monkey happily picks fruits on the tree, and the little squirrel is busy storing food for winter.

可是，小蜗牛Little Snail的房间room里，小蜗牛Little Snail还在呼呼大睡。蜗牛妈妈Mama Snail轻轻地推开门，温柔地说：“小蜗牛，快起床wake up啦！今天你要去参加森林运动会the Forest Sports Meeting，可不能迟到don’t be late呀！”小蜗牛Little Snail揉了揉眼睛eyes，迷迷糊糊地说：“妈妈，我再睡一会儿嘛。”

But in Little Snail’s room, he is still fast asleep. Mama Snail gently pushes the door open and says tenderly, &#;Little Snail, wake up! You need to go to the Forest Sports Meeting today—don’t be late!&#; Little Snail rubs his eyes and mumbles sleepily, &#;Mom, let me sleep a little longer.&#;

过了好久，小蜗牛Little Snail终于慢吞吞地爬下了床。它慢悠悠slow地穿衣服，系鞋带，每一个动作都像放慢了无数倍。等它好不容易准备好，太阳 sun 都已经升得老高了。

After a long time, Little Snail finally crawls out of bed slowly. He dresses and ties his shoelaces in a slow way, every action like it’s in slow motion. By the time he’s finally ready, the sun has risen high in the sky.

小蜗牛Little Snail这才不紧不慢地朝着运动会场地爬去。一路上，它看到路边美丽的beautiful花朵flowers，就停下来欣赏一会儿；遇到小蚂蚁little ants搬家，又停下来看了好久。

Little Snail then crawls toward the sports meeting venue unhurriedly. Along the way, he stops to admire the beautiful flowers by the road and watches the little ants moving house for a long time.

当小蜗牛Little Snail终于爬到运动会场地时，比赛都已经结束了。小兔子little rabbit、小猴子little monkey、小松鼠little squirrel都拿着奖牌，开心地笑着。小蜗牛Little Snail看着它们，难过地低下了头。

When Little Snail finally arrives at the venue, the competitions have already ended. The little rabbit, little monkey, and little squirrel are all holding medals and laughing happily. Little Snail looks at them and lowers his head sadly.

这时，聪明的clever小猴子little monkey走过来，轻轻地说：“小蜗牛Little Snail，做事不能总是这么拖拉lazy呀！如果你早点起床，不浪费时间，说不定就能参加joined比赛，还能拿到奖牌呢！”小蜗牛Little Snail听了，红着脸点了点头。

Just then, the clever little monkey comes over and says softly, &#;Little Snail, you can’t always be so拖拉 (lazy/dilatory). If you had gotten up earlier and not wasted time, maybe you could have joined the competition and even won a medal!&#; Little Snail blushes and nods.

从那以后，小蜗牛Little Snail 改掉了拖拉的坏毛病。每天早上，它都早早地起床gets up early，认真地完成每一件事情。慢慢地，小蜗牛Little Snail发现，自己有了更多的时间去做喜欢的事情，还交到了更多的好朋友。小蜗牛Little Snail开心地笑了，它知道，做事不拖拉，真的太棒啦！

From then on, Little Snail breaks the bad habit of procrastination. Every morning, he gets up early and finishes each task carefully. Gradually, he finds that he has more time to do things he loves and makes more good friends. Little Snail smiles happily—he knows that not being拖拉 (procrastinating) is truly wonderful!
