The Wind in the Willows 24 The Hedgehogs

杨柳风24 魔法刺猬

In the morning, Rat and Mole slept late. They got up and went to Badger’s kitchen. Two little hedgehogs were eating breakfast. The hedgehogs stood and bowed.

早上，老鼠和鼹鼠睡得很晚。 他们起身去了獾的厨房。 两只小刺猬正在吃早餐。 刺猬们站着鞠躬。

“ Please sit down, ” said Rat, yawning. “ Why are you here?” asked Mole. “ We were on our way to school, ” said the older hedgehog.

”请坐下，”河鼠打着哈欠说。 ”你为什么在这里？”鼹鼠问。 ”我们正在上学的路上，”老刺猬说。

“ Mother made us go, ” said the younger hedgehog. “ She always makes us go. ” “ Even in a storm, ” said the older hedgehog.

”妈妈让我们走了，”小刺猬说。“她总是让我们走。” “即使在暴风雨中，”老刺猬说。

“ And?” said Rat, breaking eggs into a pan. “ We got lost, ” said the older hedgehog. We saw Badger’s door and knocked. ”

”还有？”河鼠说着，把鸡蛋打入平底锅。 “我们迷路了，”老刺猬说。我们看到獾的门，就敲门

Suddenly the doorbell clanged. Billy, the younger hedgehog, answered the door. Noisy stomping came from the hall. “ What’s all the excitement about?” said Mole.

突然门铃响了。 比利，小刺猬，开门。 大厅里传来嘈杂的跺脚声。 ”有什么令人兴奋的？”鼹鼠说。
