Tricking an Ogre
欺骗食人魔
“ I’m going to squash you! ” the ogre growled. He squeezed Puss tightly. “ Ow! ” Puss cried. “ Stop—or you won’t get my money! ”
“我要揍你!”食人魔咆哮着。 他紧紧地挤着猫。 “噢!”猫叫道。 “停下来,否则你拿不到我的钱!”
The ogre stopped squeezing. “ What do you mean? ” he asked.
食人魔停止了挤压。 “什么意思?”他问。
Puss rolled his eyes. “ I can’t pay you if you squash me. ” The ogre thought for a moment. Then he sighed
猫翻了个白眼。 “如果你压榨我,我就付不起钱。” 食人魔想了一会儿。 然后他叹了口气
“ I'll put down now, ” the ogre said. “ You won't try to escape again, will you?” Puss held a paw over his heart. “ Of course not. You can trust me. ”
“我现在就放下,”怪物说。 “你不会再试图逃跑了,是吗?” 猫用爪子捂住他的心脏。 “当然不是。你可以相信我。”
The ogre put Puss on the floor. “ I’m sorry I tricked you before, ” Puss said. “ I didn’t believe you could make yourself bigger. ”
食人魔把猫放在地板上。 “对不起,我以前骗过你。”猫说。 “我不相信你能让自己变得更大。”
