小马过河

  小马和他的妈妈住在绿草茵茵的十分美丽的小河边。除了妈妈过河给河对岸的村子送粮食的时候,他总是跟随在妈妈的身边寸步不离。
  他过的很快乐,时光飞快地过去了。
  有一天,妈妈把小马叫到身边说:“小马,你已经长大了,可以帮妈妈做事了。今天你把这袋粮食送到河对岸的村子里去吧。”
  小马非常高兴地答应了。他驮着粮食飞快地来到了小河边。可是河上没有桥,只能自己淌过去。可又不知道河水有多深呢?犹豫中的小马一抬头,看见了正在不远处吃草的牛伯伯。小马赶紧跑过去问到:“牛伯伯,您知道那河里的水深不深呀?”
  牛伯伯挺起他那高大的身体笑着说:“不深,不深。才到我的小腿。”小马高兴地跑回河边准备淌过河去。他刚一迈腿,忽然听见一个声音说:“小马,小马别下去,这河可深啦。”小马低头一看,原来是小松鼠。小松鼠翘着她的漂亮的尾巴,睁者圆圆的眼睛,很认真地说:
  “前两天我的一个伙伴不小心掉进了河里,河水就把他卷走了。”小马一听没主意了。牛伯伯说河水浅,小松鼠说河水深,这可怎么办呀?只好回去问妈妈。
  马妈妈老远地就看见小马低着头驮着粮食又回来了。心想他一定是遇到困难了,就迎过去问小马。小马哭着把牛伯伯和小松鼠的话告诉了妈妈。妈妈安慰小马说:“没关系,咱们一起去看看吧。”
  小马和妈妈又一次来到河边,妈妈这回让小马自己去试探一下河水有多深。小马小心地试探着,一步一步地淌过了河。噢,他明白了,河水既没有牛伯伯说的那么浅,也没有小松鼠说的那么深。只有自己亲自试过才知道。
  小马深情地向妈妈望了一眼,心里说:“谢谢你了,好妈妈。”
  然后他转头向村子跑去。他今天特别高兴,你知道是为什么吗?
