Under the Table

Under the Table Sam liked to play under the table. Mom and Dad sat beside the table. The dog slept on the rug. Under the table was a secret place—it was Sam's magic den. In the magic den, under the table, Sam could see his mom and dad's shoes. He could see the dog's paws. Sometimes, in the evening, when the sky got dark, Sam could see big, shiny green eyes.

在桌子底下 萨姆喜欢在桌下玩。妈妈和爸爸坐在一起，在桌子的旁边。狗睡在地毯上。桌子下面是一个秘密的地方——那是萨姆的魔穴。 在桌子下面的魔法箱里，萨姆可以看到他妈妈和爸爸的鞋子。 他能看见狗的爪子。有时。在晚上，当天空变黑的时候。萨姆能看见一双闪闪发光的绿色大眼睛。

He pretended the big green eyes belonged to a monster waiting to gobble him up. That's when the magic den under the table turned into a scary place. Sam moved closer to Mom. “ Meowwwwww! ” said the scary monster as it purred and rubbed against Sam's foot. Sam laughed. The cat was not as scary in the light. It was the same cat in the dark. Sometimes things look scary in the dark. But when the lights come on, they aren't that bad at all!

他假装那双又大又绿的眼睛是一只等着把他吞掉的怪物。 就在这时，桌子下面的魔法洞穴变成了一个可怕的地方。 萨姆靠近了妈妈。 “喵!”可怕的怪物咕噜着，蹭着萨姆的脚。山姆笑着说。猫在灯光下不那么吓人了。黑暗中还是那只猫。 有时候在黑暗中东西看起来很可怕。但是当灯亮起来的时候，他们一点儿也不坏!
