A Tree

A Tree There was a little tree growing on the vacant lot near Mr. Smith's house. Every day, Mr. Smith would see this tree on his way to work. “ Some day, you will be big and give people shade, " Mr. Smith said. Then one day, Mr. Smith saw a man with an axe standing near the tree. " Please don't cut it down, " called Mr. Smith. “ This is my land. I want to build a house here, " said Mr. Brown. " This tree is in the way. ”

一颗树 史密斯先生的房子附近的空地上，长着一棵小树。。每天，史密斯先生在上班的路上都会看到这棵树。 “总有一天，你会变大，给人们提供荫凉，”史密斯说。后来有一天，史密斯先生看见一个人拿着斧头站在树旁。“请不要砍它，”史密斯先生叫道。“这是我的土地。我想在这里建一所房子。”布朗说，“这棵树挡住了路。”

“ But it is such a nice tree, " said Mr. Smith. “ May l dig it up and put it in my yard?" “ Yes, ” said Mr. Brown. " I would be glad to have somebody take it. " Mr. Smith got a shovel. Together, he and Mr. Brown dug up the tree and planted it in Mr. Smith's yard. Mr. Smith was happy. Mr. Brown was happy too. And you know what?I think, just maybe, the tree was happy as well.

“但这是一棵很好的树，”史密斯先生说。“我可以把它挖出来吗?把它放在我的院子里?” “是的，”布朗先生说。“我很高兴有人来挖走它。”史密斯先生得到了一把铲子。他和布朗先生一起把树挖了起来，把它栽在史密斯先生的院子里。史密斯先生很高兴。布朗先生也很高兴。你知道吗?我想，也许，树也很开心。
