4-04 The Hat

The Hat On Toad's birthday, Frog gave him a hat. Toad was delighted. Happy birthday, said Frog. Toad put on the hat. It fell down over his eyes. I am sorry, said Frog. That hat is much too big for you. I will give you something else.

《帽子》 蟾蜍过生日那天，青蛙送了他一顶帽子。 蟾蜍开心极了。 青蛙说："生日快乐。" 蟾蜍戴上了帽子。 帽子滑下来挡住了他的眼睛。 青蛙说："对不起。" 这帽子你戴实在太大了。 我给你换个别的礼物吧。

No, said Toad, this hat is your present to me. I like it. I will wear it the way it is.

"不要，"蟾蜍说，"这是你送我的礼物，我喜欢它，我就要这样戴着。"

Frog and Toad went for a walk. Toad tripped over a rock. He bumped into a tree. He fell in a hole. Frog, said Toad, I can't see anything. I will not be able to wear your beautiful present. This is a sad birthday for me.

青蛙和蟾蜍出门散步。 蟾蜍被一块石头绊倒了。 他一头撞到了树上。 他还摔进了一个洞里。 蟾蜍说："青蛙，我什么都看不见了。" 我没法戴你送的这份好看的礼物了。 我的生日过得好难过呀。

Frog and Toad were sad for a while. Then Frog said, Toad, here is what you must do. Tonight when you go to bed, you must think some very big thoughts. Those big thoughts will make your head grow larger. In the morning your new hat may fit. What a good idea, said Toad. That night when Toad went to bed, he thought the biggest thoughts that he could think. Toad thought about giant sunflowers. He thought about tall oak trees. He thought about high mountains covered with snow. Then Toad fell asleep.

青蛙和蟾蜍难过了好一会儿。 然后青蛙开口说： 蟾蜍，你得这么做才行。 今天晚上你睡觉的时候， 一定要想一些特别大的东西。 这些大大的想法会让你的脑袋变大的。 等早上起来，你的新帽子说不定就合戴啦。 蟾蜍说："这主意太棒啦。" 那天晚上蟾蜍上床睡觉的时候， 他拼尽全力想那些最大最大的东西。 蟾蜍想了巨型的向日葵。 他想了高高的橡树。 他想了被白雪覆盖的高高的山脉。 然后蟾蜍就睡着了。

Frog came into Toad's house. He came in quietly. Frog found the hat and took it to his house.

青蛙悄悄溜进了蟾蜍的家。 青蛙找到那顶帽子，带回了自己家。
