Longing for the River

The Wind in the Willows 10 Longing for the River

杨柳风10 渴望河流

Toad, Mole, and Rat rode in the cart. They were tired and covered in dust. The sun was setting. The sky was pink with the fading light.

蟾蜍、鼹鼠和老鼠坐在马车上。 他们累了，满身灰尘。 太阳下山了。 天空被逐渐暗淡的光线染成了粉红色。

" Let’s stop for the night, ” said Rat. " Yes, let’s, ” said Mole. " Wonderful idea! ” said Toad. “ I’m hungry. ”

”让我们停下来过夜吧，”河鼠说。 “是的，我们来吧，”鼹鼠说。 “好主意！”蟾蜍说。“我饿了。”

They stopped the cart and untied the horse. The stars came out in the dark sky. They ate a simple supper under the moon.

他们停下马车，把马解开。 星星在黑暗的天空中出现。 他们在月光下吃了一顿简单的晚餐。

" Time for bed, ” said Toad. He snuggled under his blanket on the grass. " What a great day! ” he said. " So much better than that old river. ”

“该睡觉了，”蟾蜍说。 他依偎在草地上的毯子下。 “多么美好的一天！”他说。 ”比那条老河好多了。”

Toad closed his eyes and began to snore. " Oh, my river, ” sighed Rat. “ I miss it very much. ” Mole lay next to Rat.

蟾蜍闭上眼睛，开始打鼾。 “哦，我的河，”河鼠叹了口气。“我非常想念它。” 鼹鼠躺在老鼠旁边。
