Pirate's Treasure--Written by Carol Moore
海盗的宝藏-作者:卡罗尔-摩尔
"Ten steps from the porch and twenty steps from the rose bushes," growled Bluebeard in Jimmy's dream one night. "There be treasure there! Aawrgh."
So the next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the dirt pile was high.
He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher.
He dug until the hole was deepest and the dirt pile was at its highest. He sighed. "I'm too tired. I can't dig anymore." Then he spied something...
...but it was only one of Woofy's bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy had was a dog bone, a hole, and a big pile of dirt to fill it in with. He thought "That pirate lied to me!"
But when Jimmy's mother saw what he had done, she clasped her hands and smiled a smile from here to Sunday. "Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron bush planted just there. Here's $5.00 for digging that hole."
“距离走廊十步,玫瑰花丛20步的地方,”一天夜里蓝胡子在吉米的梦里咆哮道,“那里有珍宝!”
所以第二天,吉米开始挖。他一直挖,直到坑很深了,挖出的土堆得很高了。
他不停地挖。坑越来越深,土越堆越高。
他一直挖,直到坑已经非常深,土堆得非常高。他叹了口气:“我太累了。我不能再挖了。”然后他开始搜索。
但是除了一块伍菲的骨头,他什么也没找到。吉米所得到的仅仅是一块狗啃的骨头,一个坑还有一大堆土,而不是财宝。他想:“那个海盗欺骗了我!”
但当吉米的妈妈看到他所做的一切,她高兴得拍手。从那时一直拍到星期天。“哦,谢谢你,吉米。我一直以来都想在那里栽一丛杜鹃花。这5美元奖励你挖那个坑。”
狼和七只小山羊
There was once upon a time an old goat who had seven little kids, and loved them with all the love of a mother for her children. One day she wanted to go into the forest andfetch some food. So she called all seven to her and said, "Dear children, I have to go into the forest, be on your guard against the wolf; if he comes in, he will devour you all -- skin, hair, and all. The wretch often disguises himself, but you will know him at once by his rough voice and his black feet." The kids said, "Dear mother, we will take good care of ourselves; you may go away without any anxiety." Then the old one bleated, and went on her way with an easy mind.
从前有只老山羊。它生了七只小山羊,并且像所有母亲爱孩子一样爱它们。一天,它要到森林里去取食物,便把七个孩子全叫过来,对它们说:“亲爱的孩子们,我要到森林里去一下,你们一定要提防狼。要是让狼进屋,它会把你们全部吃掉的——连皮带毛通通吃光。这个坏蛋常常把自己化装成别的样子,但是,你们只要一听 到他那粗哑的声音、一看到它那黑黑的爪子,就能认出它来。”小山羊们说:“好妈妈,我们会当心的。你去吧,不用担心。”老山羊咩咩地叫了几声,便放心地去了。
It was not long before some one knocked at the house-door and called, "Open the door, dear children; your mother is here, and has brought something back with her for each of you." But the little kids knew that it was the wolf, by the rough voice; "We will not open the door," cried they, "thou art not our mother. She has a soft, pleasant voice, but thy voice is rough; thou art the wolf!" Then the wolf went away to a shopkeeper and bought himself a great lump of chalk, ate this and made his voice soft with it. Then he came back, knocked at the door of the house, and cried, "Open the door, dear children, your mother is here and has brought something back with her for each of you." But the wolf had laid his black paws against the window, and the children saw them and cried, "We will not open the door, our mother has not black feet like thee; thou art the wolf." Then the wolf ran to a baker and said, "I have hurt my feet, rub some dough over them for me." And when the baker had rubbed his feet over, he ran to the miller and said, "Strew some white meal over my feet for me." The miller thought to himself, "The wolf wants todeceive someone," and refused; but the wolf said, "If thou will not do it, I will devourthee." Then the miller was afraid, and made his paws white for him. Truly men are like that.
没过多久,有人敲门,而且大声说:“开门哪,我的好孩子。你们的妈妈回来了,还给你们每个人带来了一点东西。”可是,小山羊们听到粗哑的声音,立刻知道是 狼来了。“我们不开门,”它们大声说,“你不是我们的妈妈。我们的妈妈说话时声音又软又好听,而你的声音非常粗哑,你是狼!”于是,狼跑到杂货商那里,买 了一大块白垩土,吃了下去,结果嗓子变细了。然后它又回来敲山羊家的门,喊道:“开门哪,我的好孩子。你们的妈妈回来了,给你们每个人都带了点东西。”可 是狼把它的黑爪子搭在了窗户上,小山羊们看到黑爪子便一起叫道:“我们不开门。我们的妈妈没有你这样的黑爪子。你是狼!”于是狼跑到面包师那里,对他说: “我的脚受了点伤,给我用面团揉一揉。”等面包师用面团给它揉过之后,狼又跑到磨坊主那里,对他说:“在我的脚上洒点白面粉。”磨坊主想:“狼肯定是想去 骗什么人”,便拒绝了它的要求。可是狼说:“要是你不给我洒面粉,我就把你吃掉。”磨坊主害怕了,只好洒了点面粉,把狼的爪子弄成了白色。人就是这个德行!
So now the wretch went for the third time to the house-door, knocked at it and said, "Open the door for me, children, your dear little mother has come home, and has brought every one of you something back from the forest with her." The little kids cried, "First show us thy paws that we may know if thou art our dear little mother." Then he put his paws in through the window, and when the kids saw that they were white, they believed that all he said was true, and opened the door. But who should come in but the wolf! They were terrified and wanted to hide themselves. One sprang under the table, the second into the bed, the third into the stove, the fourth into the kitchen, the fifth into the cupboard, the sixth under the washing-bowl, and the seventh into the clock-case. But the wolf found them all, and used no great ceremony; one after the other he swallowed them down his throat. The youngest, who was in the clock-case, was the only one he did not find. When the wolf had satisfied his appetite he took himself off, laid himself down under a tree in the green meadow outside, and began to sleep.
这个坏蛋第三次跑到山羊家,一面敲门一面说:“开门哪,孩子们。你们的好妈妈回来了,还从森林里给你们每个人带回来一些东西。”小山羊们叫道:“你先把脚 给我们看看,好让我们知道你是不是我们的妈妈。”狼把爪子伸进窗户,小山羊们看到爪子是白的,便相信它说的是真话,打开了屋门。然而进来的是狼!小山羊们 吓坏了,一个个都想躲起来。第一只小山羊跳到了桌子下,第二只钻进了被子,第三只躲到了炉子里,第四只跑进了厨房,第五只藏在柜子里,第六只挤在洗脸盆 下,第七只爬进了钟盒里。狼把它们一个个都找了出来,毫不客气地把它们全都吞进了肚子。只有躲在钟盒里的那只最小的山羊没有被狼发现。狼吃饱了之后,心满 意足地离开了山羊家,来到绿草地上的'一棵大树下,躺下身子开始呼呼大睡起来。
