Jeffrey the Giant had many friends. Everyone liked Jeffrey because he was so kind. When Peter’s ball got stuck in a tree, Jeffrey got it down. “ Thanks, Jeffrey, ” Peter said. “ Oh, you’re welcome, Peter, ” said Jeffrey.

巨人杰弗里有很多朋友。每个人都喜欢杰弗里，因为他很善良。 当彼得的球卡在树上时，杰弗里把球弄下来了。 “谢谢你，杰弗里。”彼得说。“哦，不用客气，彼得，”杰弗里说。

When Mary hurt herself, Jeffrey carried her home. “ Oh my leg! ” cried Mary. “ Are you okay? Here, let me help you up. I’ll take you home, ” said Jeffrey. “ Thanks, Jeffrey, ” said Mary. Jeffrey liked to help his friends. But it was hard for Jeffrey to play with them.

玛丽受伤时，杰弗里把她抱回家。 “哦，我的腿!”玛丽叫道。“你没事吧?”来，让我扶你起来。我送你回家，”杰弗里说。 “谢谢你，杰弗里，”玛丽说。杰弗里喜欢帮助他的朋友。但杰弗里很难和他们一起玩。

The hiding spots for hide-and-seek were too small. The jump rope was too short. The basketball hoop was too low. The seesaw always went up, but it never came down. One day Jeffrey left the playground. He sat down under the biggest tree he could find. “ I am too big to play with my friends, ” he said to himself. Jeffrey was sad.

捉迷藏的地方太小了。跳绳太短了。 篮球框太低了。跷跷板总是向上，但从不下降。。 一天，杰弗里离开了操场。他在他能找到的最大的树下坐下。 “我太大了，不能和我的朋友们玩，”他对自己说。杰弗里很伤心。

He lowered his head and cried. “ Hi, my name is Eddy. I’m new here. Do you want to play with me?” said a voice. Jeffrey didn’t look up. “ I’m too big to play with anyone, ” he cried. “ I don’t think you’re that big, ” said Eddy. “ Really?” asked Jeffrey. “ Yes, really, ” said Eddy. “ You’re big like me. "

他低下头哭了起来。 “嗨，我的名字是艾迪。我是新来的。你想和我一起玩吗?一个声音说。 杰弗里没有抬头。“我太大了，不能和任何人一起玩，”他喊道。“我觉得你没那么大，”艾迪说。 “真的吗?杰弗里问。“是的，真的，”艾迪说。“你和我一样大。

Jeffrey looked up hopefully. Eddy was an elephant! “ Hi, ” said Jeffrey surprised. “ My name is Jeffrey. ” Eddy smiled. “ Why were you crying, Jeffrey ?” “ I was crying because I am too big to play with my friends, ” said Jeffrey.

杰弗里满怀希望地抬起头来。艾迪是一头大象！“嗨，”杰弗里惊讶地说。“我叫杰弗里。” 艾迪笑了。“你为什么哭，杰弗里？”杰弗里说：“我哭是因为我太大了，不能和朋友们一起玩。”。
