这是一个关于猫头鹰的故事，他看起来特别有智慧，也特别机灵。 这只猫头鹰会在夜里出门觅食。 白天他就睡在自己树上最舒服的那根树枝上。

Owl did not shut his eyes. He kept them open just a little bit. It made him look very clever. The animals in the forest saw him and said, He looks so wise! He looks so clever!

猫头鹰不会把眼睛全闭上，总是留着一条小缝，这让他看起来特别机灵。 森林里的小动物们看到他都说道， 他看起来好有智慧呀！他看起来好聪明呀！

There was a pond in the forest, and in the pond lived many frogs. One summer it didn't rain. All the water in the pond dried up. The frogs got very hot. What shall we do? They said, Let us go and ask Al. He'll tell us what to do. He looked so wise. He looked so clever. The frogs told Al about the pond. What shall we do? Ask the frogs.

森林里有个小池塘，里面住着好多青蛙。 有一年夏天，天一直没有下雨。 池塘里的水全都干涸了。 青蛙们热得难受极了。 我们该怎么办呀？ 他们商量道，我们去找艾尔问问吧。 他肯定会告诉我们该怎么做的。 他看起来那么有智慧。 他看起来那么聪明。 青蛙们把池塘干涸的事告诉了艾尔。 我们该怎么办呀？ 青蛙们问道。

What do you think you should do? hooted the owl. We think that we should hide under big cold stones and wait for the rain, said the frogs. Then do it, do it, do, said owl. So the frogs hid under big cold stones and waited for the rain. When the rain came, the pond filled with water and the frogs were happy again.

“你们觉得自己该怎么做呀？”猫头鹰咕咕地叫着问。 青蛙们说：“我们觉得应该躲在凉凉的大石头下面等下雨。” 猫头鹰说：“那就这么做呀，快去快去！” 于是青蛙们就躲到凉凉的大石头下面等下雨。 后来下雨了，池塘又盛满了水，青蛙们又开心起来了。

In the autumn it got cold. Some of the birds were cold and hungry. What shall we do? Asked the birds. Let us go and ask Owl. He'll tell us what to do. He looks so wise. He looks so clever. So they went and asked Owl.

秋天到了，天气变冷，有些鸟儿又冷又饿。 鸟儿们问：“我们该怎么办呀？我们去找猫头鹰问问吧，他会告诉我们怎么做的。” 他看起来那么有智慧，那么聪明，于是他们就去找猫头鹰请教了。
