Good Friends

Good friends.

好朋友。

Poor Duck. She had a broken wing. Don't be sad, Duck, said Froggy. The doctor said your wing will get better soon. I know, Duck said. But she still looked unhappy. What's the matter? Does your wing hurt? Froggy asked. No, Duck said. I just miss flying. She stared up at the wide blue sky. You're a frog, she said. You wouldn't understand.

可怜的小鸭子，她的翅膀受伤了。 小青蛙说：“小鸭子，别难过啦。” 医生说你的翅膀很快就会好起来的。 小鸭子说：“我知道呀。”可她看起来还是不开心。 小青蛙问：“怎么啦？你的翅膀疼吗？” 小鸭子说：“不疼，我就是想念飞翔的感觉了。” 她抬起头，望着辽阔的蓝天。 她说：“你是只青蛙，你不会懂的。”

After Duck went home, Froggy looked up at the sky, too. Hmm, he said, I wonder. The next morning, Froggy got busy. He got a lot of balloons. He moved a chair out to the edge of the pond. Then he hopped over to Duck's house. Come with me, he said. I have something to show you. What are you doing with all those balloons, Duck asked. You'll see, said Froggy.

小鸭子回家之后，小青蛙也抬头望着天空。 “嗯，”他嘀咕着，“我有个主意。” 第二天早上，小青蛙就忙活起来了。 他找来了好多好多气球。 他把一把椅子搬到了池塘边。 然后他蹦蹦跳跳地去了小鸭子家。 他说：“跟我来呀。” 我有个东西要给你看。 小鸭子问：“你拿这么多气球要做什么呀？” 小青蛙说：“你一会儿就知道啦。”

By the pond, Duck saw a big chair with balloons tied to it. Why is that chair here? she asked. You'll see. Sit here, Froggy said. He was tying more balloons to the chair. He hopped on the chair with Duck. He tied on the last balloon. Then something surprising happened. The chair lifted off the ground. It floated up, up, up.

到了池塘边，小鸭子看见一把大椅子，上面绑满了气球。 她问：“那把椅子放在这儿做什么呀？” 小青蛙说：“你一会儿就知道啦，坐这儿来。” 他正往椅子上绑更多气球。他蹦到椅子上挨着小鸭子坐好，接着绑 最后一个气球。 然后神奇的事情发生了。椅子离开了地面，飘呀飘，越飘越高，越飘越高。

There, Froggy said. How do you like that? We're flying. Duck said with a big duck smile. Oh, Froggy, she cried. We are flying. This feels wonderful. Thank you so much. We're friends, Froggy said. And I am glad to help. Flying is so exciting and so much fun, Duck said. The sun is so warm. The air is so cool. And just look, you can see everything from up here.

小青蛙说：“你看，怎么样？我们飞起来啦。” 小鸭子笑得嘴都合不拢，她大叫着：“哦，小青蛙，我们真的飞起来了！感觉太棒啦！” 真的太谢谢你了。 小青蛙说：“我们是好朋友呀，我很乐意帮你的。” 小鸭子说：“飞翔又刺激又好玩，太阳暖乎乎的，风凉丝丝的。” 你看呀，从这儿往下望，什么都能看见呢。

Froggy looked down, down, down. Then he gulped and turned pale green. What's the matter, Duck asked? I just found out that I don't like high places, Froggy whispered. Then he cried, Help! I'm going to fall! No, no, Duck said. Just look at the pond down there. It's so shiny and blue. It's beautiful.

小青蛙往下望啊望，望了好久，然后他咽了咽口水，脸都吓得发绿了。 小鸭子问：“怎么啦？” 小青蛙小声说：“我才发现我原来恐高呀。” 接着他大喊起来：“救命啊！我要掉下去啦！” 小鸭子说：“不会的不会的，你看下面的池塘，蓝莹莹亮晶晶的，多好看呀。”
