Chapter 13

13 AWelcome Friend Mr Hibberdee wandered across the shore, his bag full of biscuits and treats. He noticed the eagles building a nest high up in the pine trees and smiled at the thought of new customers. 'So where's Nan, then?' he asked, finding Rosa chopping firewood. 'Hello!' cried Rosa. She was so happy to see Mr Hibberdee that any loneliness

希伯狄先生带着装满饼干和点心的袋子在岸边漫步。 他注意到老鹰在松树上筑了一个高巢，想到有新顾客就笑了。 “那么，南在哪儿？”他问，发现罗莎正在劈柴。 “你好!罗莎叫道。她很高兴见到希伯狄先生，不再感到孤独

disappeared in an instant. 'Nan's just gone away for a while.' Mr Hibberdee scratched his stomach. 'She's left the mountain?' 'Not for too long,' said Rosa.

一瞬间就消失了。 “奶奶只是离开一段时间。”希伯迪搔了搔肚子。 “她离开山了？”“不会太久，”罗莎说。

'But I've brought all sorts of new goodies,' he said, opening his bag. 'Look!' 'They smell delicious,' said Rosa, her stomach grumbling at the thought of them. Mr Hibberdee got wind of a sale. 'Would you like a sample?' he asked. 'I don't have any money,' said Rosa. 'You know me,' said the bear. 'A story's better than any money. You must have something new to tell?' Rosa laughed. 'I suppose I do,' she said. 'I have a story about eagles and a great big rope bridge.' Mr Hibberdee looked jubilant. lfllac. 'Then what are we waiting for?'

“但我带来了各种各样的新东西，”他打开包说。 “看!“它们闻起来很香，”罗莎说，一想到它们，她的胃就咕咕叫。 希伯迪先生听到了出售的风声。 “您想要样品吗？”他问。 “我没有钱，”罗莎说。 “你认识我，”熊说。 “一个故事比任何金钱都重要。 你一定有什么新鲜事要说吧？”罗莎笑了。 “我想是的，”她说。 “我有一个关于老鹰和一座巨大的绳桥的故事。”希伯迪先生看起来很高兴。 “那我们还在等什么？”

'I could do with a break,' said Rosa, wiping her brow. She placed the axe down next to the chopping block and took a seat on a fallen log. Mr Hibberdee lifted his bag upside down and a selection of fine treats tumbled to the ground. 'Where to start?!' he said excitedly.

“我需要休息一下，”罗莎擦着额头说。 她把斧头放在砧板旁边，坐在一根倒下来的圆木上。 希伯迪先生把他的袋子倒了起来，一大堆好吃的东西掉到了地上。 “从哪里开始？”他兴奋地说。

He tapped numerous biscuits before settling on something. 'Heather honey and crackers?' 'They sound perfect,' she said. 'Just perfect.'

他敲了无数块饼干才选定一块。 “希瑟蜂蜜和饼干？”“听起来很完美，”她说。 “完美。”
