The children and their uncle went camping far away in the hills. "Will you come home on Monday or Tuesday?" asked Aunty. "We'll send you a message," they said. Aunty laughed. "How can you send me a message from a camp far away in the hills?" she asked. "You'll see. Watch for a message," said Uncle and the children. "Goodbye," said Aunty. "I'll see you on Monday or Tuesday."

孩子们和他们的叔叔去遥远的山上露营。 “你星期一还是星期二回家?”姑妈问。 “我们会给你捎个信的，”他们说。 阿姨笑了。她说:“你怎么能从远处山上的营里给我捎口信呢?” “你会看到的。等着消息，”叔叔和孩子们说。 “再见，”姑妈说。“我星期一或星期二见你。”

The children helped uncle to put up their tent near the river. "Now we'll send a message to Aunty," they said. First they wrote their message on a piece of paper. Then they put it into a bottle, and they put the cork in tight.

孩子们帮助叔叔在河边搭起帐篷。 “现在我们要给姑妈捎个信，”他们说。 首先，他们把信息写在一张纸上。 然后他们把它放进一个瓶子里，把软木塞塞紧。

They put the bottle into the river, and they watched it float away. It went slowly out into the middle of the deep river. Then it went faster and faster.

他们把瓶子放进河里，看着它漂走了。 它慢慢地游到深深的河中央。 然后它越走越快。

The bottle floated under a bridge, and it went past two fishermen. Then it fell over a little waterfall. Splash! Splash! But it didn't stop.

瓶子从桥下漂过，经过两个渔夫。 然后它掉到一个小瀑布上。 飞溅!飞溅!但它并没有停止。

That night, the bottle sailed along under the moon and the stars. It went past three ducks and between two big rocks.

那天晚上，瓶子在月亮和星星的照耀下航行。 它经过三只鸭子和两块大石头之间。
