Let's go fishing, says Bonk. Joop, Uzzle, and Snag dig for worms. They find their fishing poles. The pond is a long hike away. Snag's tummy grumbles. I can't wait to eat the fish we catch, he says.

"我们去钓鱼吧。"邦克说。 乔普、乌兹尔和斯纳格去挖蚯蚓。 他们找出了自己的钓鱼竿。 去池塘要走很远的路。 斯纳格的肚子咕咕叫了起来。 "我都等不及要吃咱们钓的鱼啦。"他说。

Bonk casts his pole and waits. He reels in his line. What did you catch? asks Uzzle. A shoe, says Bonk.

邦克抛出鱼线，静静等待。 他开始往回收鱼线。 "你钓到什么啦？" 乌兹尔问。 "一只鞋子。"邦克说。

Wait, says Lirk. I think I have a fish. He reels in his line. I caught a salad, Lirk says. That's not a salad, says Joop. Those are weeds from the pond.

"等一下，"利尔克说， "我好像钓到鱼了。" 他开始收鱼线。 "我钓到一份沙拉啦！"利尔克说。 "那才不是沙拉呢。"乔普说。 那是池塘里的水草呀。

Next, Snag catches a tin can. Uzzle catches a rusty bucket. Lurk's tummy grumbles, too. I'm hungry, he says. You are always hungry, says Snag.

接下来，斯纳格钓到一个锡罐， 乌兹尔钓到一个锈铁桶， 利尔克的肚子也咕咕叫了起来。 "我好饿呀。"他说。 "你总是喊饿。"斯纳格说。

The air is hot. Flies buzz all around them. Fishing is kind of boring, says Uzzle. Just then Bonk feels a tug. I have a bite, he says. He feels another tug. Bonk catches a fish.

天气热烘烘的， 苍蝇在他们周围嗡嗡乱飞。 "钓鱼有点无聊哎。"乌兹尔说。 就在这时，邦克感觉到鱼线被拽了一下。 "有鱼咬钩啦！"他说。 他又感觉到一拽， 邦克钓到了一条鱼。
