hello students and welcome back to the English Danny Channel today I've got a new episode of 3
Way English with dr. Dunn but before I get into the story let me remind viewers to subscribe to
our Channel if you're enjoying this content and if you find this video helpful please like and
share it since it helps our channel a lot thank you okay let's start the episode remember with
3-way English I will tell you a story three different ways first in a very basic simple
way and then twice more with increasing difficulty the idea is to help you learn English grammar and
vocabulary in context the first time through I will use simple present tense only I will use
simple sentence structures and speak slowly with no contractions today's story is another fable
in English fable means a story which is meant to teach a moral lesson in fables you sometimes
see talking animals who represent different human characteristics or failings this fable
is about the Fox and the pheasants one night a fox walks through the woods he sees several
pheasants sitting out of his reach on the limb of a tall old tree he looks around and finds an area
of bright moonlight where the pheasants can see him clearly there he stands up and dances around
he spins and hops and jumps about the pheasants stare at him fearfully they can hardly even blink
their eyes because they are afraid to lose sight of him at one moment the Fox acts like
he will climb the tree at another he falls over and lies down as if he is dead and then he gets
up and jumps around again with his back in the air the whole time the bird's heads are full of
fear at the performance they become dazed as they watch him after a time the birds become so afraid
that when the Fox begins his performance once more they lose control and fall out of the tree one by
one they fall down into the paws of mr. Fox and he eats them up okay that was the first time through
now let's do the story again but this time we will use different verb tenses and some new vocabulary
I will speak a little faster this time and use a few contractions as well all right one night
a fox was walking through the woods when he saw several pheasants sitting just out of his reach
on the limb of a tall old tree he looked around and found an area of bright moonlight where the
pheasants could see him clearly there he stood up and danced around he spun and hopped and jumped
about while the pheasants stared at him fearfully they could hardly even blink their eyes for fear
of losing sight of him at one moment the Fox acts like he might climb the tree and get the
birds at another he falls over and plays dead and then he jumps back up again and leaps around with
his back in the air the birds watch in amazement dazzled and afraid their heads begin to whirl as
they watch him after a while the pheasants have become so fearful that when the Fox begins his
performance all over again they lose their balance and fall out of the tree one by one
they fall right into the waiting paws of mr. Fox and he eats them up okay so now you know the story
so this third time through I will use some more at anced vocabulary and a few differents sentence
structures I will also speak at more something closer to a native level speed and at the end
of the story I'll tell you what the moral of the story was so wait around till the end one moonlit
evening a fox was walking through the woods when he spied a group of pheasants sitting just out of
his reach on the limb of a tall old tree the Sly Fox soon found a bright patch of moonlight where
he knew the pheasants could see him clearly there he got up on his hind legs and started
dancing around spinning and hopping and jumping he whirled about while the pheasants fearfully
gazed on at him they could hardly blink their eyes for fear of losing sight of him for even
an instant now the Fox pretends to climb the tree now he falls over and feigns death now
he's back on his feet again jumping and weeping with his back in the air their heads in a whirl
the pheasants watch him at once captivated and petrified but still they can't stop watching for
fear he might snatch them when their backs are turned so fearful if they become that when the
Fox begins his show once more they start to lose their balance on the limb one by one they plummet
right into the waiting paws of mr. Fox who happily gobbles them up okay now the moral of this story
is that too much attention to danger may cause us to become victims of it maybe you can think of a
similar story or example of this lesson from your own life share some with us in the comment section
