Mole and Rat opened the door. Outside, ten young field mice stood in a line. “ What fine boys! ” said Rat. “ What colorful red mufflers! ” cried Mole.

鼹鼠和老鼠打开了门。 外面，十只年轻的田鼠排成一排。 ”多好的孩子！”老鼠说。 ”多么鲜艳的红色消音器！”鼹鼠叫道。

The mice looked up with bright eyes. An older mouse held up a lantern. “ Now, one, two, three! ” he cried. Together, their tiny voices rose in the air.

老鼠抬起头来，眼睛炯炯有神。 一只年长的老鼠举起灯笼。 ”现在，一、二、三！”他哭了。 他们微小的声音一起在空中响起。

Let your doors open wide. Even with the snow outside, Bring us in by the fire. You will have joy in the morning!

让你的门敞开。即使外面有雪，也要把我们带到火旁。早上你会很开心的！

Here we stand in the cold and sleet, Frozen fingers and frozen feet. You by the fire, bring us in from the street. You will have joy in the morning!

我们站在寒冷和雨夹雪中，冻僵的手指和冻僵的脚。你在火边，把我们从街上带进来。早上你会很开心的！

The mice ended their song and smiled. “ Very well sung! ” cried Rat. “ Ah, listen! ” said Mole. “ The bells! ” Church bells rang in the distance.

老鼠们结束了他们的歌声，笑了。 ”唱得很好！”老鼠叫道。 ”啊，听着！”鼹鼠说。“钟声！” 教堂的钟声在远处响起。
