Frog and Little Brown Bat

青蛙和小棕蝠

Sometimes at night Little Brown Bat swooped down to visit Frog. Sometimes they talked about how different they were. It was a game they liked to play.

有时候夜里，小棕蝠会俯冲下来看望青蛙。 有时候他们会聊彼此有多不一样。 这是他们爱玩的一个小游戏。

"I swim and you do not," Frog said, not unkindly. "I fly and you do not," Little Brown Bat said.

“我会游泳，你不会呀。”青蛙的语气一点儿也不凶。 “我会飞，你不会呀。”小棕蝠说。

Frog nodded. "But I am a good leaper. Sometimes leaping feels like flying." "I can understand that," Little Brown Bat said. "But I think it is prettier way up high in the night sky." Frog sighed. "It may be. I cannot have everything."

青蛙点点头。 “可我跳得特别远哦。 有时候跳起来的时候，感觉就像在飞一样。” “我懂那种感觉，”小棕蝠说。 “不过我觉得在高高的夜空里飞更美哦。” 青蛙叹了口气。 “也许吧，毕竟我不可能啥都有呀。”

"Let's go on with the game," Little Brown Bat said. "I am furry and you are not." She stroked her furry body with her leathery wings. "But I like your skin. It is so shiny. And it is such a pretty color." "Thank you," Frog said. "I like your ears. I do not have ears." "But you can hear," Little Brown Bat said.

“咱们接着玩游戏呀，”小棕蝠说。 “我身上毛茸茸的，你不是哦。” 她用自己皮质的翅膀摸了摸毛茸茸的身子。 “不过我喜欢你的皮肤，亮闪闪的。 颜色也特别好看。” “谢谢你呀，”青蛙说。 “我喜欢你的耳朵，我都没有耳朵呢。” “可你也能听见声音呀，”小棕蝠说。
