The next morning, Toad was hungry. He remembered the smell of the food. “Things aren’t all that bad,” he said. “Crying without food won’t help me.”

第二天早上，蟾蜍饿了。他记得食物的味道。 “事情并没有那么糟，”他说。“不吃东西哭对我没有帮助。”

Toad stood and stretched his back. “ “And I am very clever. I am bold and fearless. Trouble is just an adventure!” he said.

蟾蜍站起身来，伸了伸背。 “我很聪明。我勇敢无畏。困难只是一场冒险!“他说。

The jailer’s daughter knocked again. “I have some tea and toast,” she said. “Come in!” Toad said cheerfully. She put the tray in front of him.

狱卒的女儿又敲门了。“我有一些茶和烤面包，”她说。 “进来!”蟾蜍高兴地说。她把托盘放在他面前。

“I’m so hungry!” cried Toad. He grabbed the toast and ate. “I’m glad you’re well,” she said.“Why don’t you tell me about your home?”

“我好饿!”蟾蜍叫道。他抓起吐司吃了起来。 “我很高兴你没事，”她说。“跟我讲讲你的家吧?”

“Well, Toad Hall is famous,” Toad began. He sat back and drank his tea. Toad enjoyed telling her all about himself.

“嗯，蛤蟆宅第很有名。”他靠在椅背上喝茶。 蟾蜍喜欢把自己的一切都告诉她。
