郑人买履

Long ago, in the state of Zheng, there lived a farmer who was always working.

很久以前，在郑国，住着一位农民，他一直在工作。

He walked all day long, every day.

他每天走一整天。

He trudged through the sticky mud fields. He hurried on the dirt roads.

他艰难地走过泥泞的田地。他在土路上匆匆赶路。

He walked into the chicken coop…out the barn door…and then to pick up eggs, fetch water, and more!

他走进鸡舍……走出谷仓门……然后去捡鸡蛋、打水等等！

If you close your eyes, you can almost picture him walking quickly around his farm, like a speedy robot.

如果你闭上眼睛，你几乎可以想象他在农场里快速走动，就像一个快速的机器人。

One day, the farmer’s shoes broke.

一天，农夫的鞋子破了。
