The long winter ended. The bright sun made the riverbank green. The river flowed and sparkled again. It was finally spring!

漫长的冬天结束了。 明媚的阳光使河岸变绿了。 河水流淌，再次闪闪发光。 终于是春天了！

Rat and Mole planned to go boating. “ But first, breakfast! ” said Rat, as he ate his egg. Mole finished his toast and jelly. They heard a knock at Rat’s door.

老鼠和鼹鼠计划去划船。 ”但首先，早餐！”老鼠一边吃鸡蛋一边说。 鼹鼠吃完了面包和果冻。 他们听到老鼠的敲门声。

“ Mole, I’m still eating, ” said Rat. “ Will you answer the door?” “ Sure, ” said Mole. Mole ran to the door and opened it.

”鼹鼠，我还在吃呢。”老鼠说。“你会开门吗？” 当然，”鼹鼠说。 鼹鼠跑到门口打开了门。

” Mr. Badger! ” cried Mole. Rat dropped his fork. ” Badger? Here?” said Rat. “ He hardly ever leaves the Wild Wood! ”

“獾先生！”鼹鼠叫道。 老鼠把叉子掉了。 '獾在这里？”老鼠说。“他几乎从未离开过野树林！”

Badger walked into the room. " The hour has come! ” said Badger. Mole looked at the clock on the wall. " What hour?” asked Mole.

獾走进房间。 "时间到了！”獾说。 鼹鼠看着墙上的钟。 "什么时候？”鼹鼠问。
