Some elephants came across the ocean on a ship. They were going to work in the circus. One elephant's name was Oliver.

一群大象乘船漂洋过海而来。 它们要去马戏团工作。 有一头大象叫奥利弗。

When they landed, the circus man counted them. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten elephants.

上岸的时候，马戏团的工作人员清点大象数量。 一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十，十头大象。

And one makes eleven," said Oliver. There must be a mistake. I ordered only ten elephants, said the circus man. We don't need eleven.

"再算上我就是十一头啦。"奥利弗说。 肯定哪里数错了。 "我只订了十头大象。"马戏团的人说。 我们不需要十一头。

I won't take up much room said Oliver. Elephants always do said the circus man. Goodbye Oliver said the other elephants. Take good care of yourself.

"我占不了多大地方的。"奥利弗说。 "大象总是很占地方的。"马戏团的人说。 "再见啦，奥利弗。"其他大象说。 好好照顾自己哦。

Oliver was all alone. He didn't know where to go. A little mouse came along. Why don't you try the zoo? said the mouse. You look like the type they use there. Thanks. I'll go at once. said Oliver.

奥利弗孤零零的，不知道该去哪里。 一只小老鼠走了过来。 "你干嘛不去动物园试试呀？" 小老鼠说。 "你看着就是他们会要的那种大象呀。" "谢谢，我马上就去。" 奥利弗说。
