1-03 A Lost Button

A lost button. Toad and Frog went for a long walk. They walked across a large meadow. They walked in the woods. They walked along the river. At last, they went back home to Toad's house. Oh, drat! said Toad.

一颗丢失的纽扣。 蟾蜍和青蛙去散了很久的步。 他们穿过了一大片草地。 他们走进了树林里。 他们沿着河边走。 最后，他们回到了蟾蜍的家。 “哎呀，见鬼！”蟾蜍说。

Not only do my feet hurt, but I have lost one of the buttons on my jacket. Don't worry, said Frog. We will go back to all the places where we walked.

我不光脚疼，外套上的一颗纽扣还弄丢了。 “别担心。”青蛙说。 我们回我们走过的所有地方找找。

We will soon find your button." They walked back to the large meadow. They began to look for the button in the tall grass. Here is your button cried Frog. That is not my button said Toad. That button is black. My button was white. Toad put the black button in his pocket. Toad put the black button in his pocket.

我们很快就能找到你的纽扣。 他们走回那片大草地，开始在高高的草丛里找纽扣。 “找到你的纽扣啦！”青蛙大叫道。 “那不是我的纽扣。”蟾蜍说，“那颗是黑的，我的纽扣是白的。” 蟾蜍把那颗黑纽扣放进了口袋里。 蟾蜍把那颗黑纽扣放进了口袋里。

A sparrow flew down. Excuse me, said the sparrow. Did you lose a button? I found one. That is not my button, said Toad. That button has two holes. My button had four holes. Toad put the button with two holes in his pocket. They went back to the woods and looked on the dark paths. Here is your button, said Frog. That is not my button, cried Toad. That button is small. My button was big. Toad put the small button in his pocket.

一只麻雀飞了下来。 “打扰一下。”麻雀说。 “你们是不是丢了颗纽扣？我找到一颗。” “那不是我的纽扣。”蟾蜍说。 那颗纽扣有两个孔。 我的纽扣有四个孔。 蟾蜍把那颗两孔纽扣放进了口袋里。 他们回到树林里，在黑漆漆的小路上找。 “找到你的纽扣啦！”青蛙说。 “那不是我的纽扣！”蟾蜍叫道。 那颗纽扣太小了，我的纽扣是大的。 蟾蜍把那颗小纽扣放进了口袋里。

A raccoon came out from behind a tree. I heard that you were looking for a button, he said. Here is one that I just found. That is not my button, wailed Toad. That button is square. My button was round. Toad put the square button in his pocket.

一只浣熊从树后面走了出来。 “我听说你们在找一颗纽扣。”他说。 这是我刚找到的一颗。 “那不是我的纽扣！”蟾蜍哭丧着脸说。 那颗纽扣是方的，我的纽扣是圆的。 蟾蜍把那颗方纽扣放进了口袋里。
