Bossy Bear wanted to go to sleep for the winter, but he could hear all the noises the other animals made as they played outside his cave. "How can I ever get to sleep? I don't want to hear any more noise," he grumbled. "I must get rid of all these noisy animals." He thought of an easy way to catch the animals that annoyed him. His idea was to build a trap that they would not see until they had fallen in. That night, Bear dug a hole and hid his trap by covering it with leaves. "Hat ha," he chuckled to himself, "That won't be noticed until it is too late!"

霸道熊想去睡觉过冬，但他能听到其他动物在他的洞外玩耍时发出的所有声音。 “我怎么睡得着呢?” 我不想再听到任何噪音，”他抱怨道。 “我必须摆脱所有这些吵闹的动物。” 他想到了一个简单的方法来抓住那些惹他生气的动物。 他的想法是建一个陷阱，直到他们掉进去才会发现。 那天晚上，熊挖了一个洞，用树叶盖住了他的陷阱。 “啊哈，”他暗自笑着说，“等发现的时候就太晚了!”

Early the next morning, Goat came trotting along, trip trap, and fell through the leaves into Bear's hidden trap. "Help, help!" he bleated as loudly as he could. When Bossy Bear heard the bleating, he hurried to see what he had caught. "You make a loud bleating noise, Goat," grizzled Bear. "I want to go to sleep for the winter, so I'll take you far away where I can't hear your noisy bleating."

第二天一大早，山羊小跑过来，绊倒了陷阱，从树叶中掉到了熊隐藏的陷阱里。 “救命，救命!”他尽可能大声地叫道。 当熊老板听到咩咩叫时，他急忙去看他抓住了什么。 “山羊，你的叫声太大了，”灰熊说。 “我想睡一觉过冬，所以我要把你带到很远的地方，在那里我听不到你嘈杂的咩咩叫。”

"I'm sorry I kept you awake," said Goat. "You can take me far away, but whatever you do, please don't leave me up on the mountain." "That's just where I will take you," growled Bear. "I'll be able to have a nice, quiet sleep when you have been left up on the mountain." He took Goat high up on the mountain, which was just the right place for a goat to be.

“对不起，让你睡不着了。”山羊说。 “你可以带我去很远的地方，但无论你做什么，请不要把我留在山上。” “那正是我要带你去的地方。”熊咆哮道。 “当你被留在山上的时候，我就可以好好地睡一觉了。” 他把山羊带到了山上，这正是山羊应该去的地方。

Later that morning, poor Monkey fell through the leaves into Bear's trap. "Help, save me!" he chattered, as Bossy Bear hurried to see what he had caught. "You are only a small, chattering monkey," he growled, "but you make a loud noise. I'm trying to go to sleep for the winter. I'm going to take you somewhere so far away that I can't hear your chattering."

那天早上晚些时候，可怜的猴子从树叶里掉到了熊的陷阱里。 “救命，救救我!”他叽叽喳喳地叫着，熊霸王急忙去看他抓到了什么。 “你只是一只会叽叽喳喳的小猴子，”他咆哮道，“但你发出了很大的声音。 我想睡一觉过冬。 我要带你去一个远得听不见你喋喋不休的地方。”

"I'm sorry," said Monkey. "Wherever you take me, please don't put me into the deep, dark forest." "That's exactly the place to put you," growled Bear. "I will be able to have a long, quiet sleep when you are in the forest." He took Monkey to the forest, where he went swinging away through the trees.

“对不起，”猴子说。“无论你带我去哪里，请不要把我带到黑暗的森林深处。” “那正是你该待的地方，”熊咆哮道。 “你在森林里的时候，我就可以睡个安稳的长觉了。” 他把猴子带到森林里，猴子在树林里荡来荡去。
