Poos in boots.
穿靴子的普斯
Chapter 1. The Clever Cat Once there was a poor miller who had three sons. When he died, he left them all he had in the world. His mill, his donkey, and his orange tabby cat.
第一章 聪明的小猫 从前有个贫穷的磨坊主,他有三个儿子。 他去世后,把自己在世上的全部财产都留给了儿子们。 就是他的磨坊、驴子,还有那只橘色虎斑猫。
Before anyone could blink, the eldest son took the mill. Then the middle brother grabbed the donkey. Tom, the youngest, was left with the cat. This isn't fair! He wasn't impressed. You two can work together and earn a living. Tom grumbled, What can I do with Poohs? Maybe I'll have to eat him. Help! I need a plan fast!
大家还没反应过来,大儿子就先占了磨坊。 接着二儿子一把抢走了驴子。 最小的儿子汤姆,只分到了那只猫。 这太不公平了! 他心里满是不服气。 你们俩一起干活就能养活自己。 汤姆嘟囔道:我拿普斯能有什么用呀? 说不定我只能把它吃掉。 救命啊!我得赶紧想个办法才行!
Later, when they were alone, Poohs jumped onto Tom's lap. Don't look so gloomy, master. Things are not as bad as they seem, he said with a purr. Find me a bag and a pair of boots and you will see. Tom was astonished. Poohs could talk. I have one amazing cat. And then Tom remembered that he had often seen Poohs using incredibly clever tricks to catch rats and mice.
后来就剩他俩的时候,普斯一下跳到了汤姆的腿上。 它呼噜噜地说:主人,别这么愁眉苦脸的,事情没你想的那么糟。 你给我找个袋子,再做一双靴子,你等着看好了。 汤姆惊呆了:普斯居然会说话! 我的猫也太厉害了吧! 这时候汤姆想起来,他之前经常看到普斯用特别聪明的小诡计抓老鼠。
So, Tom found Poohs a leather bag and a shiny pair of boots. He gave him a cloak and a floppy hat too. The cat filled the bag with carrots and strutted off into the fields. Chapter 2. Poohs Goes to Work Poohs headed for a field where he knew there were lots of rabbits. Opening the bag, he stretched out on the ground and pretended to be dead.
于是汤姆给普斯找了个皮袋子,还有一双亮闪闪的靴子。 他还给了普斯一件斗篷和一顶软乎乎的帽子。 普斯在袋子里装满胡萝卜,大摇大摆地往田野走去。 第二章 普斯开工啦 普斯朝着一片田野走去,他知道那儿有好多兔子。 他把袋子打开,躺在地上装死。
Just as he expected, a foolish young rabbit came bouncing along and sniffed the carrot. As it poked its cruelling nose into the bag, Poohs bounced. Got you! Poohs was delighted with his catch. He marched straight to the palace and asked to see the king.
果然和他想的一样,一只傻乎乎的小兔子蹦蹦跳跳过来,凑过去闻胡萝卜。 等它把好奇的小鼻子伸到袋子里的时候,普斯一下蹦了起来。 抓住你啦! 普斯对自己的收获特别满意。 他直接走到王宫,求见国王。
