The Lion and the Rabbit
A cruel lion lived in the forest. Every day, he killed and ate a lot of animals. The other animals were afraid the lion would kill them all.
The animals told the lion, “Let’s make a deal. If you promise to eat only one animal each day, then one of us will come to you every day. Then you don’t have to hunt and kill us*.”
The plan sounded well thought-out to the lion, so he agreed, but he also said, “ If you don’t come every day, I promise to kill all of you the next day!*” Each day after that, one animal went to the lion so that the lion could eat it. Then, all the other animals were safe.
Finally, it was the rabbit’s turn* to go to the lion. The rabbit went very slowly that day, so the lion was angry when the rabbit finally arrived. The lion angrily asked the rabbit, “Why are you late?”
“ I was hiding from another lion in the forest. That lion said he was the king, so I was afraid.”
The lion told the rabbit, “ I am the only king here! Take me to that other lion, and I will kill him. The rabbit replied, “ I will be happy to show you where he lives.”
The rabbit led the lion to an old well in the middle of the forest. The well was very deep with water at the bottom. The rabbit told the lion, “Look in there. The lion lives at the bottom.” When the lion looked in the well, he could see his own face in-the water. He thought that was the other lion.
Without waiting another moment, the lion jumped into the well to attack the other lion. He never came out. All of the other animals in the forest were very pleased with the rabbit’s clever trick.

:نکته
.در زبان انگلیسی برای گفتن داستان از فعل گذشته استفاده می شود
1) If you promise to eat only one animal each day, then one of us will come to you every day.
The First Conditional
The first conditional has the present simple after ‘if’, then the future simple in the other clause:
- if + present simple, … will + infinitive
It’s used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we can’t know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come true.
- If it rains, I won’t go to the park.
- If I study today, I‘ll go to the party tonight.
- If I have enough money, I‘ll buy some new shoes.
- She‘ll be late if the train is delayed.
- She‘ll miss the bus if she doesn’t leave soon.
- If I see her, I‘ll tell her.
2) If you don’t come every day, I promise to kill all of you the next day!
The Zero Conditional
We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one in the ‘if clause’ and one in the ‘main clause’):
- If + present simple, …. present simple.
This conditional is used when the result will always happen. So, if water reaches 100 degrees, it always boils. It’s a fact. I’m talking in general, not about one particular situation. The result of the ‘if clause’ is always the main clause.
- If people eat too much, they get fat.
- If you touch a fire, you get burned.
- People die if they don’t eat.
- You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen.
- Snakes bite if they are scared
- If babies are hungry, they cry
First vs. Zero Conditional:
The first conditional describes a particular situation, whereas the zero conditional describes what happens in general.
For example (zero conditional): if you sit in the sun, you get burned (here I’m talking about every time a person sits in the sun – the burning is a natural consequence of the sitting)
But (first conditional): if you sit in the sun, you’ll get burned (here I’m talking about what will happen today, another day might be different)
3) Finally, it was the rabbit’s turn* to go to the lion.
