Cows and Pigs

Cows and Pigs Steven's family was having a fight with their neighbour, Mr. Philips. Steven looked at his mother. “ Why do you have to go to court?" he asked. “ Because Mr. Philips is angry that our cows ate his corn, ” she told him. “ But his pigs got into our garden too, ” said Steven. “ So, aren't we even?”

牛和猪 史蒂文一家正在和他们的邻居菲利普斯先生打架。 史蒂文看着他的妈妈。“你为什么一定要上法庭?”他问道。 “因为腓力普斯先生很生气,因为我们的牛吃了他的玉米,”她告诉他。 “但是他的猪也进了我们的花园,”史蒂文说。“那么,我们不是扯平了吗?”

Steven's mom smiled. She agreed with her son. “ We'll have to see what the judge says about that, " she told him. Finally, the court date came. Mr. Philips said, " Your Honour, that woman's cows ate my corn. She should pay for it. " Soon, it was time for Steven's mom to speak. “ Yes, my cows ate your corn. But your pigs ate my wheat, " she said. “ I would say that makes you both even, ” said the judge. Steven, who was sitting in the back of the courtroom, smiled. “ The judge agrees with me, " he thought. " Maybe one day when I grow up, I'll be a judge. "

史蒂文的妈妈笑了。她同意儿子的意见。“我们得看看法官怎么说。”她告诉他。 终于,开庭日期到了。菲力普斯先生说:“法官大人,那个女人的牛吃了我的玉米。她应该为此付出代价。” 很快,史蒂文的妈妈该说话了。“是的,我的牛吃了你的玉米。但是你的猪吃了我的小麦,”她说。 法官说:“我认为这样你们俩就扯平了。”坐在法庭后面的史蒂文笑了。“法官也同意我的看法,”他想。“也许有一天我长大了,我会成为一名法官。”
