2-05 Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve On Christmas Eve, Toad cooked a big dinner. He decorated the tree. Frog is late, said Toad. Toad looked at his clock. He remembered it was broken. The hands of the clock did not move. Toad opened the front door. He looked out into the night.

平安夜 平安夜那天，蟾蜍做了一顿丰盛的晚餐。 他装饰好了圣诞树。 “青蛙迟到了。”蟾蜍说。 蟾蜍看了看他的时钟。 他才想起时钟坏了。 时钟的指针一动不动。 蟾蜍打开了前门。 他望向外面的夜色。

Frog was not there. I am worried, said Toad. What if something terrible has happened, said Toad? What if Frog has fallen into a deep hole and cannot get out?

青蛙不在那儿。 “我好担心。”蟾蜍说。 “要是发生了可怕的事怎么办呀？”蟾蜍说。 要是青蛙掉进了深坑里爬不出来怎么办？

I will never see him again. Toad opened the door once more. Frog was not on the path. What if Frog is lost in the woods? said Toad.

我就再也见不到他了。 蟾蜍又一次打开了门。 小路上没有青蛙的身影。 “要是青蛙在树林里迷路了怎么办？”蟾蜍说。

What if he is cold and wet and hungry? What if Frog is being chased by a big animal with many sharp teeth?

要是他又冷又湿还饿着肚子怎么办？ 要是青蛙被一只有好多尖牙的大动物追赶怎么办？

What if he is being eaten up? cried Toad. My friend and I will never have another Christmas together. Toad found some rope in the cellar. I will pull Frog out of the hole with this said Toad. Toad found a lantern in the attic. Frog will see this light. I will show him the way out of the woods said Toad.

“要是他被吃掉了怎么办？”蟾蜍哭着说。 我和我的朋友再也不能一起过圣诞节了。 蟾蜍在地窖里找到了一些绳子。 “我要用这根绳子把青蛙从坑里拉出来。”蟾蜍说。 蟾蜍在阁楼里找到了一个灯笼。 “青蛙会看到这束光的，我要给他指一条走出树林的路。”蟾蜍说。
