邹奇奇演讲稿
Now,I wanna start with aquestion:When was the last time you were called childish?For kids like me,being called childish can be afrequent occurrence.Every time we make irrational demands,exhibit irresponsible behavior,or display any other signs of being normal American citizens,we are called childish,which really bothers me.After all,take alook at these events:Imperialism and colonization,world wars,George W.Bush.Ask yourself:Who's responsible?Adults.Now,what have kids done?Well,Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust,Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in the United States,and,most recently,Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike.So,as you can see evidenced by such examples,age has absolutely nothing to do with it.The traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.
(Applause)
Thank you.
Then again,who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs?Maybe you've had grand plans before,but stopped yourself,thinking:That's impossible or that costs too much or that won't benefit me.For better or worse,we kids aren't hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things.Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking,like my wish that no one went hungry or that everything were free kind of utopia.How many of you still dream like that and believe in the possibilities?Sometimes aknowledge of history and the past failures of utopian ideals can be aburden because you know that if everything were free,that the food stocks would become depleted,and scarce and lead to chaos.On the other hand,we kids still dream about perfection.And that's agood thing because in order to make anything areality,you have to dream about it first.
In many ways,our audacity to imagine helps push the boundaries of possibility.For instance,the Museum of Glass in Tacoma,Washington,my home state--yoohoo Washington--(Applause)has aprogram called Kids Design Glass,and kids draw their own ideas for glass art.Now,the resident artist said they got some of their best ideas through the program because kids don't think about the limitations of how hard it can be to blow glass into certain shapes.They just think of good ideas.Now,when you think of glass,you might think of colorful Chihuly designs or maybe Italian vases,but kids challenge glass artists to go beyond that into the realm of broken-hearted snakes and bacon boys,who you can see has meat vision.(Laughter)
Now,our inherent wisdom doesn't have to be insiders'knowledge.Kids already do alot of learning from adults,and we have alot to share.I think that adults should start learning from kids.Now,I do most of my speaking in front of an education crowd,teachers and students,and Ilike this analogy.It shouldn't just be ateacher at the head of the classroom telling students do this,do that.The students should teach their teachers.Learning between grown ups and kids should be reciprocal.The reality,unfortunately,is alittle different,and it has alot to do with trust,or alack of it.
Now,if you don't trust someone,you place restrictions on them,right.If Idoubt my older sister's ability to pay back the 10 percent interest Iestablished on her last loan,I'm going to withhold her ability to get more money from me until she pays it back.(Laughter)True story,by the way.Now,adults seem to have apr evalently restrictive attitude towards kids from every“don't do that,”“don't do this”in the school handbook,to restrictions on school internet use.As history points out,regimes become oppressive when they're fearful about keeping control.And,although adults may not be quite at the level of totalitarian regimes,kids have no,or very little,say in making the rules,when really the attitude should be reciprocal,meaning that the adult population should learn and take into account the wishes of the younger population.
Now,what's even worse than restriction is that adults often underestimate kids abilities.We love challenges,but when expectations are low,trust me,we will sink to them.My own parents had anything but low expectations for me and my sister.Okay,so they didn't tell us to become doctors or lawyers or anything like that,but my dad did read to us about Aristotle and pioneer germ fighters when lots of other kids were hearing“The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round.”Well,we heard that one too,but“Pioneer Germ Fighters”totally rules.(Laughter)
I loved to write from the age of four,and when Iwas six my mom bought me my own laptop equipped with Microsoft Word.Thank you Bill Gates and thank you Ma.I wrote over 300 short stories on that little laptop,and Iwanted to get published.Instead of just scoffing at this heresy that akid wanted to get published,or saying wait until you're older,my parents were really supportive.Many publishers were not quite so encouraging.One large children's publisher ironically saying that they didn't work with children.Children's publisher not working with children?I don't know,you're kind of alienating alarge client there.(Laughter)Now,one publisher,Action Publishing,was willing to take that leap and trust me,and to listen to what Ihad to say.They published my first book,“Flying Fingers,”--you see it here--and from there on,it's gone to speaking at hundreds of schools,keynoting to thousands of educators,and finally,today,speaking to you.
I appreciate your attention today,because to show that you truly care,you listen.But there's aproblem with this rosy picture of kids being so much better than adults.Kids grow up and become adults just like you.(Laughter)Or just like you,really?The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult,but rather better adults than you have been,which may be alittle challenging considering your guys credentials,but the way progress happens is because new generations and new eras grow and develop and become better than the previous ones.It's the reason we're not in the Dark Ages anymore.No matter your position of place in life,it is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away.(Laughter)
Adults and fellow TEDsters,you need to listen and learn from kids and trust us and expect more from us.You must lend an ear today,because we are the leaders of tomorrow,which means we're going to be taking care of you when you're old and senile.No,just kidding.No,really,we are going to be the next generation,the ones who will bring this world forward.And,in case you don't think that this really has meaning for you,remember that cloning is possible,and that involves going through childhood again,in which case,you'll want to be heard just like my generation.Now,the world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas.Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed.Are you ready to make the match?Because the world's problems shouldn't be the human family's heirloom.
Thank you.(Applause)Thank you.Thank you.
首先我要问大家一个问题:上一回别人说你幼稚是什么时候?像我这样的小孩,可能经常会被人说成是幼稚。每一次我们提出不合理的要求,做出不负责任的`行为,或者展现出有别于普通美国公民的惯常行为之时,我们就被说成是幼稚。这让我很不服气。首先,让我们来回顾下这些事件:帝国主义和殖民主义,世界大战,小布什。请你们扪心自问下:这些该归咎于谁?是大人。
而小孩呢,做了些什么?安妮・弗兰克(Anne Frank)对大屠杀强有力的叙述打动了数百万人的心。鲁比・布里奇斯为美国种族隔离的终结作出了贡献。另外,最近还有一个例子,查理・辛普森(Charlie Simpson)骑自行车为海地募得12万英镑。所以,这些例子证明了年龄与行为完全没有关系。“幼稚”这个词所对应的特点是常常可以从大人身上看到,由此我们在批评不负责和非理性的相关行为时,应停止使用这个年龄歧视的词。
(掌声)
谢谢!
话说回来,谁能说我们这个世
篇2:邹奇奇的演讲稿
中文部分:
首先我要问大家一个问题: 上一回别人说你幼稚是什么时候? 像我这样的小孩, 可能经常会被人说成是幼稚。 每一次我们提出不合理的要求, 做出不负责任的行为, 或者展现出有别于 普通美国公民的惯常行为之时, 我们就被说成是幼稚。 这让我很不服气。 首先,让我们来回顾下这些事件: 帝国主义和殖民主义, 世界大战,小布什。 请你们扪心自问下:这些该归咎于谁?是大人。
而小孩呢,做了些什么? 安妮·弗兰克(Anne Frank)对大屠杀强有力的叙述 打动了数百万人的心。 鲁比·布里奇斯为美国种族隔离的终结作出了贡献。 另外,最近还有一个例子, 查理·辛普森(Charlie Simpson)骑自行车 为海地募得 12万英镑。 所以,这些例子证明了 年龄与行为完全没有关系。 “幼稚”这个词所对应的特点 是常常可以从大人身上看到, 由此我们在批评 不负责和非理性的相关行为时, 应停止使用这个年龄歧视的词。
(掌声)
谢谢!
话说回来,谁能说 我们这个世界不正是需要 某些类型的非理性思维吗? 也许你以前有过宏大的计划, 但却半途而废,心想: 这个不可能,或代价太高 或这对我不利。 不管是好是坏,我们小孩子 在思考不做某事的理由时,不太受这些考量的影响。 小孩可能会有满脑子的奇思妙想 和积极的想法, 例如我希望没有人挨饿 或者所有东西都是免费的,有点像乌托邦的理念。 你们当中有多少人还会有这样的梦想 并相信其可能性? 有时候对历史 及对乌托邦的了解, 可能是一种负担, 因为你知道假如所有东西都是免费的, 食物储备会被清空, 而缺失将会导致混乱。 另一方面, 我们小孩还对完美抱有希望。 这是件好事,因为 要将任何事情变为现实, 你首先得心怀梦想。
在很多方面,我们的大胆想象 拓宽了可能性的疆界。 例如,华盛顿州塔可马市的玻璃博物馆, 我的家乡华盛顿州——你好! (掌声) 这个博物馆里有一个项目叫“儿童玻璃设计”, 小孩们自由创作自己的玻璃作品。 后来,驻馆艺术家说 他们所有的一些极佳灵感就来自这个项目, 因为小孩不去理会 吹出不同形状玻璃的难度限制 他们只是构思好的点子。 当说到玻璃的时候,你们可能 想到的是奇胡利(Chihuly)色彩丰富的玻璃设计 或意大利花瓶, 但小孩子敢于挑战玻璃艺术家,并超越他们 进入心碎蛇 和火腿男孩的领地——看到了吗,火腿男孩有“肉视力”哦 (笑声)
我们先天的智慧 堪比内行人的知识。 小孩已经从大人身上学到许多, 而我们也有很多东西可以和大人共享。 我认为大人应该开始向小孩学习。 听我演讲的观众大都是教育圈子里的, 这其中有老师和学生。我喜欢这个类比。 不应该只是老师站在教室讲台上 告诉学生做这个做那个。 学生亦应教育他们的老师。 成人和儿童之间 应该互相学习。 不幸的是,于现实里,情况是截然不同的。 这跟信任的关系很大,或者说是缺乏信任的结果。
如果你不信任某人,你就给他们设限,对吧。 如果我怀疑我姐姐没有能力 偿还我给她的上一笔贷款的 百分之十的利息时, 我将要限制她再向我借钱, 直到她还清借款为止。(笑声) 顺便提一下,这是个真实的例子。 大人呢,似乎普遍地 对小孩持限制性的态度, 从学校手册里的 “不能做这个”、“不能做那个” 到学校互联网使用的各种限制性规定。 历史告诉我们,当政体害怕统治失控时, 它就会变得暴虐。 虽然大人可能不会 像独裁政权一样心狠手辣, 但小孩在制定规则方面是几乎没有话语权的。 而正确的态度应该是两者相互尊重的, 也就是说成人群体应该了解 并认真对待年幼群体的 愿望。
然而比限制更糟糕的是, 大人常常低估小孩的能力。 我们喜欢挑战,但假如大人对我们期望很低的话, 说真的,我们就会不思进取。 我自己的父母对我和姐姐 抱很高的期望。 当然,他们没有让我们立志成为医生 或律师诸如此类的, 但我爸经常读 关于亚里斯多德 和先锋细菌斗士的故事给我们听, 而其他小孩大多听的是 《公车的轮子转呀转》。 其实我们也有听这个,但《先锋细菌斗士》实在是比那个强多了。 (笑声)
四岁的时候我就喜欢上写作, 六岁的时候, 我妈给我买了台装有微软Word软件的个人手提电脑。 谢谢你比尔·盖茨!也谢谢你,妈咪! 我用那个小手提电脑 写了300多篇短篇故事, 而且我想发表我的作品。 一个小孩想发表作品 这简直是天方夜谭,但我父母没有嘲笑我, 也没有说等你长大点儿再说, 他们非常支持我。 但是很多出版社的回应让人失望。 颇具讽刺意味的是,一个很大的儿童出版社说, 他们不跟儿童打交道。 儿童出版社不跟儿童打交道? 怎么说呢,你这是在怠慢一个大客户嘛。 (笑声) 有一个出版商,行动出版社 愿意给我一个机会, 并倾听我想说的`话。 他们出版了我的第一本书《飞舞的手指》——就是这个—— 那以后,我到数百个学校去演讲, 给数千个老师作主题演讲, 最后,在今天,给你们作演讲。
我感谢你们今天听我演讲, 因为你们会倾听我, 这证明你们真的在乎。 但小孩比大人强得多的这幅乐观图景 是存在一个问题的。 小孩会长大并变成像你们一样的大人。 (笑声) 跟你们一样,真的吗? 我们的目标不是让小孩变成你们这样的大人, 而是比你们强的大人。 考虑到你们都这么了不起, 这可能颇具挑战性。 但进步 是因新的一代人和新的时期而发生, 不断的进步和发展,并超越之前的年代。 这就是为什么我们不再处于黑暗时代。 不管在生活中你的位置在哪里, 你必须给孩子创造机会。 这样他们才能成长并让你扬眉吐气。 (笑声)
大人和TED观众们, 你们需要倾听并向小孩学习, 信任我们和对我们怀有更高的期望。 今天你们需要聆听, 因为我们是明天的领导, 这意味着当你们年老体衰时, 我们会照顾你们。哈,只是开玩笑了。 确实,我们将成为推动世界前进 的下一代人。 而且,假如你认为这对你没有意义的话, 不要忘了克隆是可能的, 而这意味着童年可以重来, 这种情况下,像我们这一代人一样, 你也会希望大人倾听你们的心声。 世界需要产生新的领导人 和新想法的机会。 小孩需要机会去领导和取得成功。 你准备好去促成这一切了吗? 因为这个世界的问题, 不应该是人类家庭的传家宝。
谢谢你们! (掌声) 谢谢!谢谢!

Every time we make irrational demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish, which really bothers me.

Now, what have kids done? Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust, Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Now, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids

Adults.Now, what have kids done? Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful

首先我要问大家一个问题: 上一回别人说你幼稚是什么时候? 像我这样的小孩, 可能经常会被人说成是幼稚。 每一次我们提出不合理的要求, 做出不负责任的行为, 或者展现出有别于 普通美国公民的惯常行为之时, 我们就被说成是幼稚。 这让我很不服气。 首先,让我们来回顾下这些事件: 帝国主义和殖民主义, 世界大战,小布什。 请你们扪心自问下:这些该归咎于谁?是大人。
而小孩呢,做了些什么? 安妮·弗兰克(Anne Frank)对大屠杀强有力的叙述打动了数百万人的心。 鲁比·布里奇斯为美国种族隔离的终结作出了贡献。 另外,最近还有一个例子,查理·辛普森(Charlie Simpson)骑自行车 为海地募得 12万英镑。 所以,这些例子证明了年龄与行为完全没有关系。 “幼稚”这个词所对应的特点 是常常可以从大人身上看到, 由此我们在批评 不负责和非理性的相关行为时, 应停止使用这个年龄歧视的词。
(掌声)谢谢!
话说回来,谁能说 我们这个世界不正是需要 某些类型的非理性思维吗? 也许你以前有过宏大的计划, 但却半途而废,心想: 这个不可能,或代价太高 或这对我不利。 不管是好是坏,我们小孩子 在思考不做某事的理由时,不太受这些考量的影响。 小孩可能会有满脑子的奇思妙想 和积极的想法, 例如我希望没有人挨饿 或者所有东西都是免费的,有点像乌托邦的理念。 你们当中有多少人还会有这样的梦想 并相信其可能性? 有时候对历史 及对乌托邦的了解, 可能是一种负担,因为你知道假如所有东西都是免费的, 食物储备会被清空, 而缺失将会导致混乱。 另一方面, 我们小孩还对完美抱有希望。 这是件好事,因为要将任何事情变为现实, 你首先得心怀梦想。

心狠手辣, 但小孩在制定规则方面是几乎没有话语权的。 而正确的态度应该是两者相互尊重的, 也就是说成人群体应该了解 并认真对待年幼群体的 愿望。
然而比限制更糟糕的是, 大人常常低估小孩的能力。 我们喜欢挑战,但假如大人对我们期望很低的话, 说真的,我们就会不思进取。 我自己的父母对我和姐姐 抱很高的期望。 当然,他们没有让我们立志成为医生 或律师诸如此类的, 但我爸经常读 关于亚里斯多德 和先锋细菌斗士的故事给我们听,而其他小孩大多听的是 《公车的轮子转呀转》。 其实我们也有听这个,但《先锋细菌斗士》实在是比那个强多了。 (笑声)
四岁的时候我就喜欢上写作, 六岁的时候, 我妈给我买了台装有微软Word软件的个人手提电脑。 谢谢你比尔·盖茨!也谢谢你,妈咪! 我用那个小手提电脑写了300多篇短篇故事, 而且我想发表我的作品。一个小孩想发表作品 这简直是天方夜谭,但我父母没有嘲笑我, 也没有说等你长大点儿再说, 他们非常支持我。 但是很多出版社的回应让人失望。 颇具讽刺意味的是,一个很大的儿童出版社说, 他们不跟儿童打交道。 儿童出版社不跟儿童打交道? 怎么说呢,你这是在怠慢一个大客户嘛。 (笑声) 有一个出版商,行动出版社 愿意给我一个机会,并倾听我想说的话。 他们出版了我的第一本书《飞舞的手指》——就是这个—— 那以后,我到数百个学校去演讲, 给数千个老师作主题演讲,最后,在今天,给你们作演讲。
我感谢你们今天听我演讲, 因为你们会倾听我, 这证明你们真的在乎。 但小孩比大人强得多的这幅乐观图景 是存在一个问题的。 小孩会长大并变成像你们一样的大人。 (笑声) 跟你们一样,真的吗? 我们的目标不是让小孩变成你们这样的大人, 而是比你们强的大人。考虑到你们都这么了不起, 这可能颇具挑战性。 但进步 是因新的一代人和新的时期而发生, 不断的进步和发展,并超越之前的年代。这就是为什么我们不再处于黑暗时代。 不管在生活中你的位置在哪里, 你必须给孩子创造机会。 这样他们才能成长并让你扬眉吐气。 (笑声)
大人和TED观众们, 你们需要倾听并向小孩学习,信任我们和对我们怀有更高的期望。 今天你们需要聆听, 因为我们是明天的领导, 这意味着当你们年老体衰时, 我们会照顾你们。哈,只是开玩笑了。 确实,我们将成为推动世界前进 的下一代人。 而且,假如你认为这对你没有意义的话, 不要忘了克隆是可能的,而这意味着童年可以重来, 这种情况下,像我们这一代人一样, 你也会希望大人倾听你们的心声。 世界需要产生新的领导人 和新想法的机会。 小孩需要机会去领导和取得成功。 你准备好去促成这一切了吗? 因为这个世界的问题, 不应该是人类家庭的传家宝。
谢谢你们! (掌声) 谢谢!谢谢!
篇4:邹奇奇TED演讲:大人可以跟孩子学什么
邹奇奇TED演讲:大人可以跟孩子学什么
邹奇奇,一个华裔小姑娘。12岁的时候在 TED 发表演讲,名字叫:What adults can learn from kids? 大人应当从小孩身上学习什么?演讲中,她代表孩子们发声,希望大人可以相信孩子、给孩子们期待,因为他们将是这个世界的引领者。以下是本次演讲的节选。
I appreciate your attention today, because to show that you truly care, you listen. But there's a problem with this rosy picture of kids being so much better than adults. Kids grow up and become adults just like you. (Laughter) Or just like you, really?
The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been, which may be a little challenging considering your guys credentials, but the way progress happens is because new generations and new eras grow and develop and become better than the previous ones.It's the reason we're not in the Dark Ages anymore. No matter your position of place in life, it is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away.
Adults and fellow TEDsters, you need to listen and learn from kids and trust us and expect more from us. You must lend an ear today, because we are the leaders of tomorrow, which means we're going to be taking care of you when you're old and senile. No, just kidding. No, really, we are going to be the next generation, the ones who will bring this world forward.
And, in case you don't think that this really has meaning for you, remember that cloning is possible, and that involves going through childhood again, in which case, you'll want to be heard just like my generation. Now, the world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas. Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed. Are you ready to make the match? Because the world's problems shouldn't be the human family's heirloom.
我非常感谢你们今天来听我的演讲,因为那说明你们真的在乎,你们在倾听。但是对于“孩子比大人好太多” 这件事仍有一个问题。孩子们长大会变成像你们一样的成人。(笑声)就像你们这样,真的吗?
最终的目标并不是把孩子变成你们这种大人,而是变成比你们更好的大人,考虑到你们已经是比较成功的成人,这可能有一点难度。但是这个过程在发生,因为新的一代的成长和发展并变得比前一辈更好。这就是我们不再处于黑暗时代的原因。不论你处于生生活中何种状态,为你的孩子创造机会很重要,这样他们才能超越你们。
大人和TED的关注者们,你们需要从孩子那里倾听和学习,相信我们并且给我们更多期待。你们今天必须倾听我们,因为我们是明天的领导者,因为我们会在你们年老力衰的时候照顾你们。不,开个玩笑。不,说真的,我们将会成为推动这个世界前进的下一代。
然而,如果您认为这个对您来说没有意义,请记住克隆是可能的,那意味着你们将再次体验童年,您会像我们这一代人一样,渴望被倾听。现在,世界应当为新的领导者和新思想提供机会。孩子们需要机会去领导和成功。你准备好与时俱进了吗?因为我们不应当将前人的错误传递给下一代。

我最喜欢的动物是我家楼下的一只猫。
这只猫的皮毛有着深黄色的条纹,很漂亮。它长着圆圆的头,两只小灯笼似地眼睛总是在夜间发着光。它嘴两边的胡须直直的.翘着,嘴里不停地发出喵喵的叫声。
有一天,我放学回家的时候,它拦在我的前面,跟着我走,我只好藏了起来,可是它却去我们家找我了,我家正好开着门,他就悄悄的走进去,并且跳到了床上。我看到了连忙说“你快下来”,他扭了扭身子竟卧在了床上,嘴里还喵喵叫了两声,像对我撒娇“嗯,不下来”我生气了,瞪着它,它看到我真生气了,赶快一溜烟的跑了。
不久,它和一只漂亮的猫小姐结婚了。有一天我看见有人喂它们美食,我看到他很绅士的让它的妻子先吃,嘴里喵喵叫着,在告诉它的妻子“亲爱的,你先吃”我为它有这样的品德所感动,觉得它非常的特别,就给它起了一个名字叫奇奇。
我非常喜欢奇奇,现在奇奇当上了爸爸,它的孩子和它一样可爱,它们是幸福的一家子。

篇6:奇奇奇遇记
“不好,‘不明物’又来抓人了!”人们慌忙逃走,场地上只留下奇奇和开开心心,他们仔细地观察着远处天边的‘不明飞行物’,只见它高约几千米,像一个巨大的黑龙,上接天空,下连地面,不停地翻滚着,所经过的地方房倒屋塌,毁坏性极强。
“是龙卷风!”奇奇和开开心心忙躲进指挥中心里。
“看我的!”开开心心忙织起了一张大网,牢牢地网住了龙卷风。
风停了,云散了,大地恢复了宁静。这时,所有的人都围住奇奇和开开心心跟前,询问他们这个怪物的情况,于是,奇奇耐心地向大家讲起关于龙卷风的知识。原来,龙卷风是一种灾害现象,它喜欢到没有草,没有树,只有沙漠,干旱的地方,这里正好是它最喜欢来的地方。
大家不得不回头看看:天哪,到处光秃秃的,没有生命,没有绿树,没有河流。奇奇打开这个城市的资料库:一年平均砍伐十万科树!!每年约有一百万亩的土地变成沙漠!!每年约有一条河流(湖泊)干涸!!
看来人们真的是错了。
奇奇说:“你们只有多植树、保护大自然才行啊!”
于是,从这以后,人们开始植树种草,绿化家园,对环境特别重视。奇奇和开开心心每天都去帮助人们种树、浇水、施肥、、、没过多长时间,小城的空气开始变得清新,鸟语花香,到处是绿草茵茵,人们把这里叫做“绿城”。
奇奇和开开心心该走了,人们依依不舍地送他们出了黑洞,而他们又将进入另一个“世外桃源”。
篇7:奇奇的故事
奇奇的故事1500字
奇奇极不情愿地走出山洞,刚迈出家门几步,“嘣”的一声,一个庞然大物从天而降,正中奇奇的山洞,洞内的东西东倒西歪,一副狼狈的模样。奇奇睡意全无,被这庞然大物的坠落给吓坏了,好久才反映过来,一看自己可爱的家就这么被毁了,心中既是伤心又是气愤,一边喊一边哭了起来:“我可怜又可爱的屋啊!我该怎么办呢?”还说是鼠年,我却倒了霉运啊!”
微风吹得树木“哗哗”响,又仿佛是在笑这只可爱、幸运又倒霉的小老鼠。奇奇从地上爬起来,径直像庞然大物走去,这是什么东西啊?尖尖的脑袋,圆圆的身子,还有一双脚。正当奇奇好奇时,尖尖的脑袋上长出了两对长长的天线,一个清脆的声音从那儿发了出来:“恭喜你,奇奇,你成了我的主人。”奇奇便被这一连串的.事儿给弄得稀里糊涂,瞠目结舌,它小心地问道:“你是谁?”“我是E星球的YC宝宝!我可以答应你两个愿望,你说吧!”“真的,我说什么都可以?”“只要不是伤天害理的事!”“我第一个愿望就是给我一个豪华的房屋,还要有所有设备,因为是你把我的小屋给破坏了。”“你的愿望太简单了。”YC宝宝伸出一双手,同时指向草地,“变”,一座小小的却很豪华的房子出现在眼前。奇奇跳了起来,正要跑进屋里去,YC宝宝急匆匆地说:“你把我变小,方便携带,我也要去看看!”“我该怎么做!”“冲我喊‘变小’就可以了。”“变小”,YC宝宝变得像橡皮那么大,奇奇把它放进了口袋里。
这是一个温馨、豪华的屋子,连电视机、电脑都有,零食整整齐齐放在了柜子上,奇奇简直不敢相信自己的眼睛,这是自己的家,比起那个简陋、又阴又潮的屋子真是天壤之别,它佩服YC宝宝的超能力,YC宝宝满意极了。
又是阳光明媚的一天,奇奇享受这种衣来伸手、饭来张口的生活已经一个星期了。它对这种生活既不习惯又不喜欢,因为聪明的人类有一句话:“安逸出懒汉,逆境出英雄。”奇奇不想当懒汉,准备恢复以前的生活。
它第二次走出了家门,YC宝宝总催它快说第二个愿为,好完成任务回星球。奇奇想做点有意义的事。
不知不觉中,已走了很多路,奇奇累了,走进了一个简陋的屋里。里面陈设极其简单,看来这是一个并不富裕的家庭。里屋传来谈话声,奇奇靠近那门仔细倾听。“医生,朵朵她的腿怎么了?”“朵朵爸妈啊,你们孩子的双腿必须割掉啊,不然病魔会吞噬她的生命!”“啊!”的一声,显然里面有人晕倒了,那人大概就是朵朵的母亲。这家子真可怜呀!奇奇的眼眶有些湿润了,向另一个屋子走去。
篇8:小松鼠奇奇
从前,在一个一望无际的森林里,有一个动物小镇,里面住了很多小动物,有大象,有狮子,也有百灵鸟、孔雀……其中,有一只小松鼠,名字叫奇奇。
在森林的旁边,有一个城市,市长叫迈克斯·克拉。有一天,市长在森林旁边散步,当他看着郁郁葱葱的森林时,心想:这里面藏了多少丰富的宝藏啊?光是这些树木,如果开采了就值多少钱了啊?于是,市长叫来了开采队。
这天,只听见“突突突……”“轰隆隆……”地一阵巨响,一群人拿着电锯,开着伐木机,浩浩荡荡地向森林“进军”。一天下来,森林有一大半树木成了树桩。第二天,又来了一群猎人,拿着猎枪,牵着猎狗,向森林“杀”去。小动物们吓得魂飞魄散,纷纷四散逃窜,举家逃难去了……动物小镇里静静的,小松鼠奇奇也踏上了逃难之旅,但是,厄运还是降临了。这天,小松鼠奇奇正在一棵古树上打盹,忽然,大树开始剧烈地摇动起来,奇奇猛地跳了起来,心想:地震了吗?它向下一看,一个“怪物”正在“吃”树!啊!不是怪物!是伐木机!奇奇马上从树上跳了下来,躲进草丛……
七天过去了,奇奇望着树桩都在流泪,伤心极了!这时,一个小女孩走了过来抱着奇奇说:“多可爱的小松鼠,跟我回家吧!”这个小女孩叫艾斯·克拉,是市长的女儿。艾斯每天都抱着奇奇玩,给它喂好吃的,给它按时喝水……她们成了亲密无间的好朋友。当奇奇知道她就是市长的女儿的时候,便趁着吃晚饭的机会跟市长说出了心中的苦痛,市长恍然大悟,马上下令解散了开采队伍,还让全城的人们都来植树,森林又回来了,小动物们也纷纷搬了回来,动物小镇又恢复往日的热闹了。
小松鼠奇奇看着这一切,开心极了!
篇9:小木偶奇奇
作者:毛毛虫
小木偶奇奇走呀走,走出了树木郁郁苍苍的森林,来到了大海边,蓝色的天空与蓝色的大海连在了一起,沙滩上有许多小动物在玩耍,海浪拍打在沙滩上,发出有节奏的好听的声音。
“哇--”小木偶奇奇开心的喊到,飞跑着直奔蓝色的大海。
“嘿,你好!我是绵绵,你是谁呀?”这时从旁边跑来一只小白兔。
小木偶答道:“绵绵你好!我叫奇奇,”“我一直住在海边的树林里,你呢?”“......”奇奇还没有回答,天空就变了颜色,狂风大作,海浪立时也高高的舞动起来,这时从不远处的森林里传来:“暴风雨就要来临了。请海滩上的子民快离开!”动物们听了四处逃散。海浪打来,把许多来不及跑走小动物卷进了大海中,奇奇见了非常着急心想:“我要去救他们。”说救就救。奇奇先把就要被海浪卷走山羊拉上岸,又把一只幼小的松鼠救上来...奇奇利用自己的优势救了好多小动物,在救他们时奇奇还捞到了一只小皮球,奇奇很喜欢就偷偷藏在了沙里...
风小了,浪有恢复以前的温柔,刚才在沙滩上玩耍的动物们几乎都回家休息了,沙滩上只剩下了奇奇和绵绵。奇奇把藏在沙里的小皮球挖了出来想和绵绵玩耍,“这不是小猴皮皮的球吗?准是浪一来皮皮扔下球跑掉了,我们去还给他好吗?”木偶奇奇立刻脸就红了,结结巴巴的说:“这是我捡的,我只想到了咱俩玩,却不想还给失主我是不是很自私...”“奇奇你是好人,你救了我的好几个朋友怎么会自私呢?这样吧,咱们一起去找皮皮还有其他小动物咱们大家一起玩,好吗?”“太好了,那咱走吧!”
奇奇、绵绵手拉手朝森林走去...

当他来到山脚下,只见树木茂盛,景色秀丽,更增加了奇奇的信心。他爬到半山腰的时候,突然窜出一只面恶心善的老狼。它对奇奇说:“小朋友,你一定又饥又渴了吧,我家里有一些丰富的美食,还有一些可口的饮料,请你到我家来做客。”奇奇心想:这老狼看起非常很凶恶,我一定要谨慎些,以防老狼把我杀害了。走在去老狼家的途中,老狼装着要吃奇奇的样子作文人网 ,并说:“小朋友,对不起,不是我骗你,而是我的肚子太饿了”。说着说着就向奇奇扑去。幸好奇奇早有准备,他拿起一把常带在身上的攻击性很强的玩具枪,朝老狼冲去。老狼看到来势凶猛的样子,急忙下跪求饶:“我的小祖宗啊,请你不要把我打死,我会酬谢你的。”看到奇奇很有智有谋,老狼便从身上拿出一颗蓝宝石对奇奇说:“你可别小瞧这颗蓝宝石,它能给你变出美味可口的食物,还能逢凶化吉,请你收下吧。”同时还悄悄地把咒语告诉了他。
奇奇收下蓝宝石后继续往山上走去。到了山顶,他觉得应该检验一下老狼说的话是不是真的,于是他念着咒语,眼前的一片草地上出现了烤乳猪
