Still No Bird Pie for Mr Twit Mr Twit wasn't going to wait another week for his Bird Pie supper. He loved Bird Pie. It was his favourite meal. So that very same day, he went after the birds again. This time he smeared all the top bars of the monkey cage with sticky glue, as well as the branches of The Big Dead Tree. 'Now I'll get you,' he said, 'whichever one you sit on!' The monkeys crouched inside the cage watching all this, and later on, when the Roly-Poly Bird came swooping in for an evening chat, they
特威特先生还没有鸟派特威特先生不打算再等一个星期才吃鸟派晚餐。 他喜欢鸟派。这是他最喜欢的一餐。 于是,就在同一天,他又去捉鸟了。 这一次,他把猴子笼子的所有顶板都涂上了胶水,还把大死树的树枝也涂上了。 “现在我要抓住你了,”他说,“不管你坐在哪儿!”猴子们蹲在笼子里看着这一切,后来,当罗利-波利鸟突然飞进来和它们晚上聊天时,它们
shouted out, 'Don't land on our cage, Roly-Poly Bird! It's covered in sticky glue! So is the tree!' And that evening, as the sun went down and all the birds came in again to roost, the Roly-Poly Bird flew round and round the monkey cage and The Big Dead Tree, singing out his warning, 'There's sticky stuff now on the cage and the tree! If you land on either, you'll never get free! So fly away! Fly away! Stay up high! Or you'll finish up tomorrow in a hot Bird Pie!'
大喊道:“不要落在我们的笼子上,罗利-波利鸟!”它被粘胶覆盖了!这棵树也是!”那天晚上,太阳下山了,所有的鸟都回来栖息了,那只罗利-波利鸟在猴子笼子和大死树周围飞来飞去,唱着它的警告:“现在笼子和树上都粘上了东西!”如果你落在任何一个上面,你永远不会得到自由!所以飞走吧!飞走了!站高点!否则你明天就会被热鸟派吃掉!”
