The circus comes to town. Let's go to the circus, says Bonk. I love cotton candy. I like the elephants, says Lerk. The clowns are funny, says Joop.

马戏团来到了镇上。 邦克说：“我们去看马戏团吧。” 我最爱吃棉花糖啦。 勒克说：“我喜欢大象。” 乔普说：“小丑们可太有趣啦。”

Do we have money? asks Joop. Bonk has three pennies and a rock. Lerk has a dime and a button. Joop's pockets are empty. What should we do? asks Joop.

乔普问：“我们有钱吗？” 邦克有三枚便士和一块石头。 勒克有一枚十美分硬币和一颗纽扣。 乔普的口袋空空的。 乔普问：“我们该怎么办呀？”

Let's have a lemonade stand, says Bonk. Then we will have money. The monsters cut up lemons. They add water and sugar.

邦克说：“我们摆个柠檬水小摊吧。” 这样我们就能赚到钱啦。 小怪物们把柠檬切成片。 他们往里面加了水和糖。

They wait and wait. No one comes to the stand. No one is thirsty, cries Lerk. Maybe they are hungry, says Bonk. Let's have a pizza stand.

他们等啊等啊。 没有人来小摊买东西。 勒克哭着说：“根本没人渴呀。” 邦克说：“说不定大家是饿了。” 我们改摆披萨摊吧。

The monsters make the crust. They add sauce and cheese. They cook the pizza and wait. No one comes to the stand. No one is hungry! Cries Lerc.

小怪物们做好了饼底， 加了酱料和芝士， 烤好披萨之后就等着客人来。 勒克哭着喊道：“没人来小摊，大家都不饿！”
