田鼠阿春的春天。这个冬天很冷很冷，寒风呼呼地掠过田野，发出令人心惊胆战的哀号。田鼠们躲在洞穴里，都焦急地等待着春天来临。但这个寒冬无比漫长，温暖的春天似乎遥遥无期。阿春在洞里冷得发抖。它是去年春天出生的，现在。它不知道自己能不能等到春天的再次来临。储藏的食物早已经吃完了，连洞里铺的干草也被吃得差不多了。不行，我要出去找点吃的，我一定要等到春天！想到这儿，阿春使劲地揉了揉自己的脚，然后小心地钻了出去。外面寒风呼啸，吹得它几乎睁不开眼睛。还好，它很快发现不远处的地上，滚落着几颗松果。它急忙跑过去，将这几颗松果抱在怀里。但就在这时，一只狐狸突然蹿了出来。阿春掉头就跑。这只狐狸很狡猾，它立即封住了阿春的退路。阿春只好慌不择路地逃命。狐狸的利爪几次都差点儿落到它的身上。这时，一个敞开的洞口出现在眼前。阿春急忙钻进去，拼命逃向黑暗的洞穴深处。老天庇佑，它躲过了这一劫。阿春趴在地上，呼呼地喘气。不过它马上又害怕起来，这个洞穴里弥漫着蛇的气息，这是一个蛇洞！阿春很快又松了一口气。是呀，现在是冬天，蛇正在冬眠，不会进食，也不会捕猎，根本不用怕它们。一些胆大的田鼠甚至还会专门找蛇来充饥。阿春可不敢去找蛇。蛇像一个噩梦，是它最恐惧的东西。它清楚地记得，在它第一次独自出来觅食的时候，它就遇到了蛇。但不知为什么，当它绝望地叫着妈妈的时候，那只缠住它的黑蛇竟然停住了。接着，它缓缓地松开了阿春。阿春这才死里逃生，捡回一条命我还是先暂时住在这里吧，等那只狐狸离开了再回去！阿春镇定下来，东钻钻，西瞅瞅，四处察看起来。运气不错，阿春竟然在一个角落里发现了两截草根。阿春如获至宝。吃完之后，它又用爪子挖掘起来。轰的一声，眼前的洞壁竟然坍塌了，露出一个更大的洞。阿春吓得呆住了，天哪，眼前的大洞里面竟然趴着一条大蛇。跑到外面洞口的时候，阿春停住了，它又走了回去。果然，那条大蛇早已经被冻僵了。阿春又紧张又兴奋，是呀，这可是天上掉下来的美餐呀，这条冻僵的大蛇足够它度过余下的寒冬。阿春一步步走向蛇。突然，它愣住了。它几乎不敢相信自己的眼睛，眼前这条大蛇的头上有几个白色的小圆点，这就是它以前遇到过的那条黑蛇。对，绝不会错！只不过黑蛇比以前大多了！一时之间，阿春矛盾极了。不过，它还是打定了主意绝不能伤害它。啊，兄弟，咱们的运气太好啦，这里有一条冻僵的蛇。其中一只田鼠马上大叫起来。哈哈，太棒了，那咱们快吃了它吧，我快饿死了。另一只田鼠也十分兴奋。原来还有个兄弟，其中一只田鼠说道，那就算你一份吧，我们三个一起享用这顿美餐。小子，你是不是想独吞呀。那两只田鼠愤怒地叫道，天下可没有这么容易的事！不！它它以前饶过我，没吃我。所以，现在我也绝不能吃它。哈哈，你这只田鼠真是疯了！不过我们不会像你一样发疯，这条蛇我们吃定了它们打了起来。不知为什么，阿春看着地上的那条黑蛇，就像疯了一样，又抓又咬，一番激战后，那两只田鼠吓得逃走了。但阿春立刻又担心起来，它担心又有别的田鼠找到这里。于是，阿春用泥土把黑蛇栖身的洞穴封了起来。忙完之后，它觉得自己好累好累，便一头倒在地上睡着了。做梦真好啊！在梦里它看到了美丽的春天。那五颜六色的野花,那潺潺的流水,那香喷喷的果子这一切真是太美啦！当然，它还看到了妈妈。妈妈的笑容像春天的阳光一样灿烂，正带着一大群弟弟妹妹，热情地欢迎它回家呢
