On Monday, Baby Elephant went to the playground with his friends. He got on the seesaw, but he couldn't go up and down. Crack! The seesaw broke! "Go away, Baby Elephant! You can't play in our playground," shouted the animals. "Go home! You're too big and heavy to play here."

星期一，小象和他的朋友们去了操场。 他上了跷跷板，但他不能上下。 裂缝!跷跷板坏了!“走开，小象!”你不能在我们的操场上玩，”动物们喊道。 “回家!你又大又重，不能在这里玩。”

Baby Elephant went home. He felt sad. "I'm too heavy to go on the seesaw," he told the big elephants. "I wish I could go up and down like my friends." So the big elephants got a log to make a seesaw for him. Baby Elephant went up and down on his own seesaw. He felt very happy.

小象回家了。他感到难过。 “我太重了，上不了跷跷板，”他对大象们说。 “我希望我能像我的朋友们一样上上下下。” 于是大象们拿了一根木头给他做了一个跷跷板。 小象在自己的跷跷板上上下爬。 他感到非常高兴。

On Tuesday, Baby Elephant went to the playground again. He wanted to go on the swing, but he got stuck! "You're too big and heavy to go on our swing!" said the animals. So Baby Elephant went home. The big elephants put out their trunks to make a swing for him. "Here's a good swing for you," they said. Baby Elephant felt very happy swinging on his own swing.

星期二，小象又去了操场。 他想去荡秋千，但他被卡住了!“你太大太重了，不能上我们的秋千!”动物们说。 于是小象回家了。 大象们伸出鼻子为他做秋千。 “这里有一个很好的秋千，”他们说。 小象在自己的秋千上荡得很开心。

On Wednesday, Baby Elephant was hot. He went into the swimming pool, but all the water splashed out. "Go home!" shouted the animals. "You're too big for our pool." The big elephants got water in their trunks and they squirted him. "Here's a fan to make you cool," they said, and they flapped their big ears like a fan. Baby Elephant felt cool and happy.

星期三，小象很热。 他走进游泳池，但所有的水都溅了出来。 “回家去!”动物们喊道。 “你对我们的游泳池来说太大了。” 大象的鼻子里有水，它们向他喷水。 “给你一把扇子，让你变酷。”它们说着，像扇扇子一样扇动着它们的大耳朵。 小象感到凉爽和快乐。

On Thursday, Baby Elephant felt sad again. "I can't play on the trampoline. I'm too heavy to jump up and down on it," he said. So the big elephants put their trunks together to make a trampoline for Baby Elephant. "Now you can jump and bounce," they said.

星期四，小象又感到难过了。 “我不能玩蹦床。 我太重了，不能在上面跳上跳下，”他说。 于是大象们把它们的鼻子拼在一起给小象做了一个蹦床。 “现在你可以蹦蹦跳跳了，”他们说。
