Bananas for Breakfast

Bananas for breakfast.

早餐吃香蕉。

Kofi wanted bananas for breakfast, but there were no bananas on his banana tree. It's not fair, he said. My banana tree has no bananas. Then Kofi looked across the stream. Effia's banana tree had lots of bananas on it. It's not fair, he said. Effia has lots of bananas for breakfast, and I have none.

科菲想早餐吃香蕉，可是他的香蕉树上一根香蕉都没结。 这不公平，他说。我的香蕉树怎么没有香蕉。 这时科菲望向小溪对岸。 埃菲娅的香蕉树上结了好多好多香蕉。 这不公平，他说。 埃菲娅早餐有好多香蕉吃，我却什么都没有。

Just then, Effia saw Kofi. Effia smiled. Good morning, Kofi, she called across the stream. Kofi didn't answer. He didn't feel like smiling. It's not fair, he said again. Why has Effia got all the bananas?

就在这时，埃菲娅看见了科菲。 埃菲娅笑了笑。 早上好呀，科菲。她隔着小溪喊道。 科菲没有应声。 他现在可笑不出来。 这不公平，他又念叨了一遍。 凭什么所有香蕉都长在埃菲娅的树上呀？

Kofi went into the shade of his banana tree and thought and thought and thought. He wanted Effia's bananas. Suddenly he had an idea. If I push Effia's tree over, her bananas will fall into my garden. And then I will have lots of bananas for breakfast.

科菲走到自己香蕉树的树荫下，想啊想啊想了好久。 他太想吃埃菲娅的香蕉了。 忽然他想到了一个主意。 要是我把埃菲娅的香蕉树推倒，她的香蕉就会掉到我的院子里来。 这样我早餐就有好多好多香蕉吃啦。

That night, Kofi swam across the stream and went into Effia's garden. Kofi gave Effia's banana tree a little push. The tree creaked. Creeeak! Then he gave the banana tree a big push. Creeeak! Then the banana tree fell across the stream. Crash!

当天夜里，科菲游过小溪，溜进了埃菲娅的院子。 科菲轻轻推了一下埃菲娅的香蕉树。 树发出了吱呀的响声。 吱——呀——！ 接着他用力猛地推了香蕉树一把。 吱——呀——！ 紧接着香蕉树倒了下来，横在了小溪上。 哗啦！

Yippee! said Kofi. Now I'll have all the bananas I can eat for breakfast. And he swam back home. The next morning, Effie saw that her banana tree had fallen down. Oh dear! she said. Whatever could have happened? Then she saw Kofi's footprints on the ground. Kofi did this? she said. He took my bananas. I will teach him a lesson.

太棒啦！科菲喊道。 现在我早餐想吃多少香蕉就有多少啦。 说完他就游回了家。 第二天早上，埃菲娅发现自己的香蕉树倒了。 哎呀！她惊呼道。 这到底是怎么回事呀？ 这时她看见了地上科菲的脚印。 是科菲干的？她说道。 他抢了我的香蕉，我要给他一个教训。
