田野里有一种小动物，名叫“五鼠”。
In the fields, there was a small animal called "wu shu" (the flying squirrel).
它逢友便说:
It would say to everyone it met:
“我有五种本领:会飞、会走、会游泳、会爬树、还会掘土打洞。”
"I have five skills: flying, walking, swimming, climbing trees, and digging holes in the ground."
于是，小伙伴们讥笑它说:
Thereupon, its pals would laugh at it, saying:
“你虽然学了这几种本领，却一种也没有学好。”
"Though you have learned these skills, you have mastered none of them."
“会飞，却飞得不高;会游泳，却游得不远;会爬树，却爬不到树顶;
"You can fly, but not high; you can swim, but not far; you can climb trees, but not to the treetop;
会掘土打洞，却打得不深。”
you can dig holes in the ground, but not deep enough."
b鼠听了小伙伴们的话后，气呼呼地跑了。
When the flying squirrel heard what its pals said, it ran away manger.
是啊，A鼠是学了五种本领，但是用起来，却一种也不中用。
Indeed, the flying squirrel had learned five skills, but when put to use, they were useless.
这怎么能说是有真本领呢!
How could they be called real skills?
