聪明的猫头鹰真的很有智慧吗？

This is a story about an owl who looked very wise and looked very clever. This owl hunted for his food at night. In the day he slept on the best branch of his tree.

这是一个猫头鹰的故事，这只猫头鹰看起来特别有智慧，也特别机灵。 这只猫头鹰晚上出门捕猎觅食。 白天他就睡在自己树上最好的那根树枝上。

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!

猫头鹰不闭眼睛，只留一条小缝睁着，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！他看起来好机灵呀！

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.

森林里有一个池塘，池塘里住着好多青蛙。 有一年夏天，天一直没下雨。 池塘里的水全干了。 青蛙们都热得受不了。 我们该怎么办呀？ 他们说：咱们去找阿尔问问吧。 他会告诉我们该怎么做的。 他看起来那么有智慧。 他看起来那么机灵。 青蛙们把池塘的事告诉了阿尔。 我们该怎么办呀？ 你们青蛙自己觉得呢？

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呢？猫头鹰咕咕地叫着问。 我们觉得应该躲在凉凉的大石头下面等雨来，青蛙们说。 那就这么做吧，快去吧，去吧，猫头鹰说。 于是青蛙们都躲到了凉凉的大石头下面，等着下雨。 后来下雨了，池塘又装满了水，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，天气变冷了，有些鸟儿又冷又饿。 我们该怎么办呀？鸟儿们问道。咱们去找猫头鹰问问吧，他会告诉我们该怎么做的。 他看起来那么有智慧，那么机灵。于是他们就去找猫头鹰问主意了。
