The Three Sisters

The Three Sisters Eddy and Casey did not like eating vegetables. They liked meat and fish. They liked rice and bread. They even liked appies, grapes and bananas. But they did not like vegetables. One day, their mom told them a story. Long ago, the Native people in Canada grew three special vegetables. They planted corn, beans and pumpkins very close to each other in the garden.

三姐妹 埃迪和凯西不喜欢吃蔬菜。他们喜欢吃肉和鱼。他们喜欢吃米饭和面包。他们也很喜欢吃苹果、葡萄和香蕉。但他们就是不喜欢吃蔬菜。 有一天，他们的妈妈给他们讲了一个故事。在很久以前，居住在加拿大的本地人种植了三种特殊的蔬菜。在花园里，他们把玉米，豆类和南瓜种得很近。

The corn grew strong and tall. The beans climbed up the big strong corn stems. The pumpkins made big leaves as they grew. The leaves kept the grounp cool and wet. The three vegetables helped each other. They were like three sisters in a family. That is why the Native people call these vegetables the three sisters. They are very special. Little kids grow big and strong by eating corn, beans and pumpkins. Now, Eddy and Casey eat their vegetables every day.

玉米长得又高又壮。豆类依附着高大的玉米杆生长。南瓜长出了巨大的叶子。在宽大叶子的遮挡下，土壤被保护得凉爽而又湿润。 这三种蔬菜彼此依附生长，互相帮助。他们就像是来自一个家庭的三个姐妹。 这就是为什么加拿大的本土人会把这三种植物称为三姐妹的原因。他们非常的特别。小朋友 长得又高又壮全靠吃玉米、豆类和南瓜。 现在，埃迪和凯西每天都会吃蔬菜了。
