Presto's New Pet

Presto's new pet

普雷斯托的新宠物

Presto the Wizard lived in a tall tower at the top of a very high hill. It was the perfect place for a wizard to live. But he was very lonely. Presto wanted a pet. He didn't want a frog or a cat. He wanted a different sort of pet. So Presto went out into the wide world to see what he could find.

魔法师普雷斯托住在一座极高的山顶上的高塔⾥。 这可是魔法师居住的绝佳地点。 可他特别孤单。 普雷斯托想要一只宠物。 他不想要青蛙，也不想要小猫。 他想要一只与众不同的宠物。 于是普雷斯托走出家门，去广阔的世界里看看能找到什么。

A yeti would be a good pet for a wizard, thought Presto. So he went all the way to the top of the tallest mountains to look for a yeti in the snow and the ice. But he didn't find one. So Presto left a note. Dear Yeti, If you would like to be my pet, please come to the tall tower far away. We could be the best of friends. Presto the Wizard. P .S. There is lots of snow on the hills.

雪人当魔法师的宠物可太合适啦，普雷斯托心想。 于是他一路走到最高的山峰顶端，在雪地里和 冰层里找雪人。 可他一个雪人都没找到。 于是普雷斯托留下了一张便条。 亲爱的雪人：如果你愿意当我的宠物，请来远处的高塔找我哦。 我们会成为最好的朋友的。 魔法师普雷斯托 敬上 又及： 我的⼩山上有好多好多雪哦。

Later that day, a yeti read Presto's note. A quiet hill is just what I need, he thought. So the yeti set off across the wide world to find a new home with Presto the Wizard. Meanwhile, Presto went on looking for a pet. A monster would be a good pet for a wizard, he thought. So he went all the way to the bottom of the deepest lake to look for a monster among the weeds and the fishes. But he didn't find one.

当天晚些时候，一只雪人看到了普雷斯托的便条。 安安静静的小山正是我想要的，他心想。 于是雪人出发了，穿越广阔的世界，去魔法师普雷斯托那里找新家。 与此同时，普雷斯托还在继续找宠物。 水怪当魔法师的宠物可太合适啦，他心想。 于是他一路走到最深的湖底，在水草和鱼儿之间找水怪。 可他一个水怪都没找到。

So Presto left a note. Dear Monster, if you would like to be my pet, please come to the tall tower far away. We could be the best of friends. Presto the Wizard. P .S. There is a big lake to swim in. Later that day, a monster read Presto's note. A quiet lake is just what I need, she thought. I will go and find a new home with Presto the Wizard.

于是普雷斯托留下了一张便条。 亲爱的水怪：如果你愿意当我的宠物，请来远处的高塔找我哦。 我们会成为最好的朋友的。 魔法师普雷斯托 敬上 又及：我那里有个很大的湖，可以游泳哦。 当天晚些时候，一只水怪看到了普雷斯托的便条。 安安静静的湖正是我想要的，她心想。 我要去找魔法师普雷斯托，在那里安个新家。

Meanwhile, Presto went on looking for a pet. A dragon would be a good pet for a wizard, he thought. So he went all the way under the smoky mountains where the last of the dragons lived. He looked for a dragon in the cracks and the holes where the water drips and the rocks burn red. But he didn't find one. So Presto left a note. Dear dragon, if you would like to be my pet, please come to the tall tower far away. We could be the best of friends. Presto the Wizard P .S. There is a big cave to sleep in.

与此同时，普雷斯托还在继续找宠物。 巨龙当魔法师的宠物可太合适啦，他心想。 于是他一路走进烟雾缭绕的山脉深处，那里住着世上仅存的巨龙。 他在裂缝和洞穴里找巨龙，那里水滴不停，岩石烧得通红。 可他一条龙都没找到。 于是普雷斯托留下了一张便条。 亲爱的巨龙：如果你愿意当我的宠物，请来远处的高塔找我哦。 我们会成为最好的朋友的。 魔法师普雷斯托 敬上 又及：我那里有个大大的山洞，可以睡觉哦。
