Toad on the Road

路上的蟾蜍

Toad woke up under a pile of leaves. The sun shone in his eyes. His toes were cold. He sat up and yawned. “ Where am I?”

蟾蜍在一堆树叶下醒来。阳光照在他的眼睛里。 他的脚趾发冷。他坐起来打了个哈欠。“我在哪儿?”

Toad brushed the leaves from his dress. Suddenly he remembered his escape. “ I’m free! ” he cried. “ I’m free! I’m free! ” Toad jumped up and down with joy.

癞蛤蟆拂去衣服上的树叶。突然，他想起了逃跑的经历。 “我自由了!他叫道。“我自由了!我自由了!”蟾蜍高兴得上蹿下跳。

“ I need to find out where I am, ” said Toad. Toad walked to a meadow nearby. Beyond the meadow was a canal. Beside the canal was a small path.

“我需要知道我在哪里，”蟾蜍说。蟾蜍走到附近的草地上。 草地那边是一条运河。运河旁边有一条小路。

“ Aha, ” said Toad, “ here comes a horse. ” A horse was walking on the path. With a long rope, it pulled a boat on the canal. “ And here comes a boat, ” said Toad.

“啊哈，”蟾蜍说，“来了一匹马。”一匹马在小路上走着。 它用一根长绳子在运河上拉着一艘船。“来了一条船，”蟾蜍说。

Before long, the boat was next to Toad. A possum in a red bonnet steered the boat. “ Good morning, madam, ” yelled the possum. “ Good morning to you! ” shouted Toad.

没过多久，船就到了蟾蜍身边。一只戴红色帽子的负鼠掌舵。 “早上好，夫人。”负鼠喊道。“早上好!”蟾蜍喊道。
