苹果大争夺
一则关于两位朋友、一个苹果，以及学会分享的动画短故事
故事内容
影片为英文旁白，每个场景下方附中文译文。
One apple on the branch
High on a branch above the riverbank hangs one apple — round, red, and the only one left on the whole tree. A bear cub spots it from below. A little bird spots it from above. Both of them stop, and both of them are quite certain the apple is theirs.
河岸上方的一根高高树枝上，挂着一个苹果——圆圆的、红红的，也是整棵树上仅剩的一个。树下的一只小熊发现了它。树上的一只小鸟也发现了它。它们都停了下来，而且都十分确定：这个苹果是自己的。
Both of them are sure
The bear cub reaches up on his back paws. The bird flutters down to the branch. Neither one will give way. The argument grows louder, the branch begins to sway, and the apple sways with it — while the two friends are far too busy quarrelling to notice.
小熊用后腿站起来，努力伸爪去够。小鸟扑扇着飞到树枝上。谁也不肯让步。争吵声越来越大，树枝开始摇晃，苹果也跟着摇晃——可两位朋友忙着吵架，完全没有注意到。
Into the river
With one last shake of the branch, the apple slips free. It drops past the bear cub, past the reeds, and lands in the river with a splash. The quarrel stops in an instant. Now nobody has the apple, and it is floating away.
树枝最后猛地一晃，苹果滑落了。它从小熊身边掉下，掠过芦苇，扑通一声落进河里。争吵一下子停住了。现在谁也没有苹果了，而它正漂走。
Fishing it out together
The bear cub wades in and stretches out a paw, but the apple bobs just out of reach. The bird flies ahead and nudges it back downstream, closer and closer, until the bear cub can finally close his paws around it. It takes both of them. Neither could have done it alone.
小熊走进水里，伸出爪子去够，可苹果一浮一沉，总在爪子够不着的地方。小鸟飞到前面，把苹果轻轻推回下游，越来越近，直到小熊终于能用两只爪子把它抱住。这需要它们两个一起努力，谁也无法独自做到。
One half each
Back on the bank, dripping and out of breath, they look at the apple and then at each other. They split it neatly down the middle — one half for the bear cub, one half for the bird — and sit side by side to eat it. The apple they nearly lost tastes better shared than it ever would have alone.
回到岸上后，它们浑身湿淋淋的，还喘着气。它们看看苹果，又看看对方。它们把苹果整整齐齐地从中间分开——小熊一半，小鸟一半——然后肩并肩坐着吃起来。这个差点失去的苹果，分享着吃比独自吃更香甜。
家长与老师指南
很适合在孩子刚刚和人争执之后观看，而不是之前。影片没有说教：两位朋友想要同一样东西，没有谁是坏人，解决办法也是他们自己想出来的。问问孩子，如果是他们会怎么处理这个苹果——不止一种好办法，这正是重点。
