木偶奇遇记

Once upon a time, there was an old man with yellow hair. People called him Grandpa Hominy. Grandpa Hominy was a good woodcutter. He made himself a lot of furniture. Grandpa Hominy lived on his own and sometimes feel lonely. Grandpa Cherry gave Grandpa Hominy a piece of wood. " This is a piece of magic wood which can cry and laugh. You can make a puppet from it, " he said.

从前，有一位老爷爷，他有一头黄头发。人们都叫他老玉米糊爷爷。 老玉米糊爷爷的木工活做得不错。他给自己做了很多家具。 可一个人过久了，他有时候会感到特别孤独。 樱桃爷爷送给老玉米糊爷爷一块神奇的木头。 “这是块会哭会笑的神奇的木头，你可以用它做一个木偶，”他说。

Grandpa Hominy was so happy and he began to carve the wood immediately. When he finished the ears, the ears began to move. When he finished the eyes, the eyes began to blink. Soon, a puppet came into being. The puppet was laughing and jumping. He was a lovely boy with a long nose! Grandpa Hominy loved the puppet very much and he named him Pinocchio.

老玉米糊爷爷非常高兴，拿起木头就刻了起来。 他刚刻出耳朵，那耳朵就一扇一扇地动了。刚刻出眼睛，那眼睛就骨碌碌地转了。 不一会儿，木偶就做好了。木偶边笑边叫，又蹦又跳。 他是一个可爱的小男孩儿，就是鼻子长了一些。老玉米糊爷爷对这个木偶越看越喜欢，还给他起了个好听的名字，叫皮诺曹。

Pinocchio learned to walk, and he went out, without wearing any clothes. Grandpa Hominy ran after him. People in the street were curious and many of them stopped to see what had happened. Grandpa Hominy caught up with Pinocchio and was about to take him home. The naughty Pinocchio began to cry and a policeman came. Pinocchio lied to the policeman that Grandpa Hominy wasn't kind to him. The policeman believed Pinocchio and sent Grandpa Hominy to prison.

皮诺曹刚学会走路，就蹦蹦跳跳地溜出了家门。可他还没穿衣服呢。老玉米糊爷爷赶紧追了出去。 街上的人们好奇极了，都围上来看热闹。 老玉米糊爷爷终于追上了皮诺曹，要带他回家。 贪玩的皮诺曹大哭起来。警察听见后跑了过来。 皮诺曹趁机对警察撒谎，说老玉米糊爷爷对他很不好。 警察相信了皮诺曹的谎话，把老玉米糊爷爷关进了监狱。

Grandpa Hominy wasn't set free until night. But Pinocchio made no apology. Pinocchio thought it would be fun to go to school, so he came to Grandpa Hominy and begged. " Grandpa, I want to go to school! ” Grandpa Hominy was very happy to hear that. But he didn't have enough money to buy Pinocchio course books, so he sold his coat and trembled with cold.

老玉米糊爷爷直到晚上才从监狱出来。但皮诺曹根本没想过道歉。 皮诺曹觉得上学应该很好玩儿，于是就对老玉米糊爷爷嚷嚷起来：“爷爷，我也要去上学！” 听此，老玉米糊爷爷很高兴。 但他没有足够的钱给皮诺曹买课本，于是他卖掉了外套，被冻得浑身发抖。

Pinocchio went to school the day after. But on his way, he was distracted by a puppet show. So he went to watch the show. The other puppets were very happy to see Pinocchio. They invited him to dance on the stage. The show was a great success. The theatre boss gave Pinocchio five gold coins in return for his performance. He wanted Pinocchio to buy some clothes for Grandpa Hominy.

第二天，皮诺曹走在上学的路上。走着走着，他突然被木偶戏吸引，所以高高兴兴的去看戏了。 其他木偶们看到皮诺曹非常开心。他们邀请皮诺曹来到台上，又唱又跳，这场戏举办的非常成功。 戏院的老板给了皮诺曹五个金币作为表演的报酬，让他给老玉米糊爷爷买件暖和的衣服。

On Pinocchio's way home, he met a crippled fox and a blind cat. They pretended to make friends with Pinocchio. In fact, they intended to rob him of his gold coins. However, the fox and cat didn't find the coins because Pinocchio had hidden them in his shoes. They were angry and tied him to a tall tree. The cold wind blew, and Pinocchio began to miss Grandpa Hominy.

回家的路上，皮诺曹遇到了痛腿狐狸和瞎眼猫。 他们假装和皮诺曹做朋友，其实是想抢走他的金币。 然而，狐狸和猫怎么找都找不到金币，因为皮诺曹把它们藏在了鞋子里。他们很生气，把他吊在一棵大树上。 北风呜呜地刮着，皮诺曹开始想念老玉米糊爷爷了。
