The Whale in the Well

The whale in the well.

井里的鲸鱼。

Long ago, a whale was trapped in a well. Years passed and she forgot all about the world outside.

很久以前，有一头鲸鱼被困在了一口井里。 许多年过去，她完全忘记了外面的世界是什么模样。

One day there was a noise and a little frog tumbled down into the well. Goodness! Giggled the frog. You look gloomy! Come and see the wonderful new world outside!

有一天传来一阵响动，一只小青蛙扑通掉进了井里。 天哪！ 青蛙咯咯笑着说。 你看起来闷闷不乐的呀！ 快出来看看外面精彩的新世界呀！

The frog pushed and pulled but he could not move the whale. How the whale wished she could see the wonderful new world.

青蛙又推又拉，可怎么也挪不动鲸鱼。 鲸鱼多希望自己能去看看那个精彩的新世界啊。

High on the mountaintop the stormbird pounded its powerful wings and the ground shook. A great shower of rain fell.

山顶上的风暴鸟用力扑扇着强有力的翅膀，大地都跟着震动起来。 紧接着降下了一场瓢泼大雨。

The rain washed the whale out of the well. Goodness, look at those cliffs! said the whale. It's a tongue! giggled the frog.

雨水把鲸鱼冲出了井。 天哪，快看那些悬崖！鲸鱼说。 那是舌头呀！青蛙咯咯笑着说。
