杨柳风50 监狱里的蟾蜍

Toad threw himself on the floor of the jail. “ This is the end! ” cried Toad. “ I am finished! I will be here forever.

蟾蜍扑倒在监狱的地板上。 ”这就是结局！”蟾蜍喊道。“我完了！我将永远在这里。

The room was dark with shadows. Water dripped: plink, plunk. Creepy bugs crawled across the stones. Toad jumped up and brushed his coat.

房间里黑乎乎的。滴水声：扑通，扑通。 爬行的虫子爬过石头。癞蛤蟆跳起来刷了刷外套。

Toad shook the bars in the door. “ I was so stupid! ” he yelled. “ Why didn’t I listen to Rat and Mole? Oh Badger, you were so wise! ”

蟾蜍摇晃着门上的门闩。 ”我太傻了！”他喊道。“我为什么不听老鼠和鼹鼠的话？噢，獾，你真聪明！”

The jailer’s daughter brought Toad his meals. But Toad did not eat. For days, he cried in the corner of his room. The jailer’s daughter went to her father.

狱卒的女儿给蟾蜍送来了饭菜。但是蟾蜍没有吃东西。 一连几天，他在房间的角落里哭泣。狱卒的女儿去找了她的父亲。

“ Toad is so unhappy! ” she said. “ He’s getting very thin! ” “ My girl, ” said the jailer, “ he’s a criminal. You don’t have to care for him. ”

”蛤蟆太不高兴了！”她说。“他越来越瘦了！” “我的女孩，”狱卒说，“他是个罪犯。你不必关心他。”
