When Arthur Wouldn't Sleep

when Arthur wouldn't sleep.

亚瑟还不肯睡觉的时候。

Come on, Flora! Arthur said. Let's play jumping! Shhh! Flora mumbled. It's bedtime. Time to go to sleep.

“快来呀，弗洛拉！”亚瑟说。 我们来玩跳高游戏吧！ “嘘！”弗洛拉小声说。 现在是睡觉时间，该去睡觉啦。

The butterflies weren't sleeping, the bees were busy buzzing, and the grasshoppers were jumping all over the place. I don't want to go to sleep, grumbled Arthur.

蝴蝶们还没睡，蜜蜂忙着嗡嗡叫，蚱蜢们 到处蹦来蹦去。 “我不想睡觉。”亚瑟嘟囔着说。

Arthur gazed up at the clouds. The more he gazed, the more funny shapes he saw. Then he started feeling very light. Slowly, he started going up and up and up.

亚瑟抬头望着云朵。 他越看，看到的有趣形状就越多。 接着他感觉自己变得轻飘飘的。 慢慢地，他开始飘啊飘，越飘越高。

Soon he met a hippo. Where do you want to go? The hippo asked. I want to go where no one goes to sleep, Arthur said. And off they flew.

很快他遇到了一只河马。 “你想去哪儿呀？” 河马问他。 “我想去一个没人要睡觉的地方。”亚瑟说。 然后他们就出发飞走啦。

This is your stop! said the hippo. A ladybird was waiting for Arthur. Come with me! said the ladybird. But don't forget, no sleeping!

“你到站啦！”河马说。 一只瓢虫正等着亚瑟呢。 “跟我来吧！”瓢虫说。 不过别忘了，不能睡觉哦！
