Moosling in Winter

Moose -ling in winter.

冬天里的小驼鹿。

Moose -ling saw leaves falling from the trees. He saw snow falling from the sky. He looked at the ice on the pond. Winter was coming.

小驼鹿看见树叶从树上落下来，还看见雪花从天空中飘下来。 他看了看池塘上的冰，冬天就要来了。

Goodbye, Moosling," said Duck. Where are you going, Moosling asked? I'm going to a warm place, said Duck. I fly there every winter. So do I, said Goose. So do I, said Robin. We do too, said the other birds.

"再见啦，小驼鹿。"鸭子说。 "你要去哪里呀？"小驼鹿问。 "我要去一个暖和的地方。"鸭子说。 我每年冬天都飞去那里。 "我也是。"大雁说。 "我也是。"知更鸟说。 "我们也是。"其他鸟儿们说。

But I'll come back as soon as winter is over, said Duck. So will I, said Goose. We will too, said the other birds. Then they flapped their wings and flew away.

"不过冬天一结束我就会回来的。"鸭子说。 "我也会回来的。"大雁说。 "我们也会回来的。"其他鸟儿们说。 然后他们拍打着翅膀飞走了。

The birds were gone. It was quiet in the woods. It was too quiet. Moose -ling went to look for his friends. Hello, Frog, said Moose -ling. Hello, Moose -ling, said Frog, and goodbye. What? said Moose -ling. Are you flying away like the birds? I can't fly. I dig down into the mud, said Frog. I'll sleep there all winter long.

鸟儿们都走了，树林里静悄悄的，静得反常。小驼鹿走 去找他的朋友们。"你好呀，青蛙。"小驼鹿说。"你好呀，小驼鹿。"青蛙说， "还有再见。""什么？"小驼鹿问。"你也像鸟儿们一样要飞走吗？我不会飞呀。 "我要钻进泥巴里。"青蛙说。"我整个冬天都会在那里睡觉。"

Then Frog dug down deep into the mud, and she was gone. First the birds went away, and now Frog was gone. Moose -ling was beginning to feel sad.

然后青蛙钻进了深深的泥巴里，不见了踪影。 先是鸟儿们走了，现在青蛙也走了。 小驼鹿开始觉得难过了。
