Python saves his trick for last - and if it hadn’t been for Elephant happening to pass by, he might have had the last laugh...What Python’s trick is, and how the animals were deceived by him, is told with wit and zest by one of our greatest picture book storytellers.

在深深的叢林裡，有一隻很餓的蟒蛇，
他厭倦了總是要不停的找食物，
而且動物們總是躲他躲得遠遠的，
於是，他想出了一個狡猾的計畫。
「朋友們，我要舉辦一個派對，邀請你們所有人來參加！」
他在樹上大聲宣布道，但動物們都害怕的不敢接近。
「拜託，我保證我會乖乖的，這會是一個很安全的派對。」
他說。
山羊和狐狸覺得他們應該給蟒蛇一次機會，而且他們很喜歡派對，
於是他們說服了其他動物一起來參加。
蟒蛇說：「太好了！現在我們可以來比賽，誰能夠表演最炫的特技」
鸚鵡自願當主持人，於是，動物們在鸚鵡的介紹下，紛紛登場：
野牛、叢林野雞和變色龍組成三人組，表演了令人印象深刻的特技，動物們興奮的鼓掌；
鬣狗表演了在哈密瓜上行走，也讓大家大為驚嘆；
獅子表演了猜謎，惹得大家哈哈大笑......
此外，還有斑馬、狐狸、海貓、花豹、猴子都表演了厲害的絕技，
接著，最後一個節目登場：鵜鶘將要表演牠能將多少動物朋友都放到大嘴巴裡！鸚鵡興奮的邀請自願者上台。
當然，鵜鶘事先安排了暗樁，事先說好的動物們紛紛爬進鵜鶘的大嘴裡，其他動物們紛紛發出敬畏的驚讚聲，派對已經進入了高潮。
然而此時，蟒蛇卻說：
「哼，我的嘴巴可以比鵜鶘塞下更多的動物！」
到這裡，動物們全都興奮到不行：「好吧！如果你可以，你就試試看啊！」
於是，動物們一隻接著一隻爬進蟒蛇的嘴裡......
天啊，蟒蛇的「詭計」能夠得逞嗎？
猜猜看，最後是誰給了狡猾的蟒蛇一個教訓呢？

About the Author/作者介绍： Brian Wildsmith（1930年1月22日 - 2016年8月31日）
英國兒童文學繪本大師，曾在1962年獲得英國凱特格林威大獎，而且是以一本無字的ABC字母書得獎，就如同這本驚艷世界的字母書一般，在他的所有繪本中，圖像就跟文字一樣重要，他曾兩度獲得國際安徒生文學獎銀牌獎章，一生著作超過80本圖畫書，他的作品在世界各地獲得無數好評，尤其是他對大自然和野生動物的描繪，他精湛細膩的手法和自學獨創的藝術風格，直到今日仍居經典地位。
Brian Wildsmith was raised in the mining village of Penistone, near Sheffield. He won a scholarship to the Slade School of Fine Art, where he studied for three years, then spent his National Service teaching music at the Royal Military School of Music. After his time in the Army, he became an art master, but soon gave up teaching to pursue his life-long ambition of becoming a painter.
He believes that children like good illustrations and well-designed books and are much better able to understand "difficult" art than some adults acknowledge. He says: "Picture books give an opportunity for a marriage between painting and illustrating, and the challenge of designing each page is very stimulating. I believe that beautiful picture books of the right kind are vitally important in subconsciously forming a child’s visual appreciation, which will bear fruit later in life."
Brian’s work is both provocative and stimulating and he now enjoys a world-wide reputation as one of the greatest living children’s illustrators. He is particularly popular in the USA, Europe and Japan. In Leningrad he was responsible for all the sets and some of the costumes for the film The Blue Bird, based on Maurice Maeterlinck’s famous play, and in 1996, as a celebration of Brian’s special relationship with Japan, Oxford University Press published Katie and the Dream-Eater written by Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado of the Japanese Imperial Family. Brian has published over 70 books with OUP over his career.
Brian’s hobbies include music, cricket (he has played League cricket for Yorkshire and won cricket colours for University College, London), and tennis. He is married with four children and now lives in the South of France.
