《头脑风暴小熊》。作者：托林·安德森。绘者：丹尼·琼斯。 核心问题：故事里的这一家人为什么要头脑风暴呀？

Sam was setting up tables in the driveway. He noticed a brown bear up a tree nearby. Mom, there's a bear over there, Sam called.

山姆正在车道上摆桌子。 他注意到附近的树上有一头棕熊。 "妈妈，那边有一头熊！"山姆大喊道。

What if it comes down and attacks us?" asked Sam's little sister, Sarah. Mrs. Miller took Sarah's hand. We'll keep a safe distance away, she replied.

"要是它下来攻击我们怎么办呀？"山姆的妹妹萨拉问。 米勒太太牵住了萨拉的手。 "我们会和它保持安全距离的。"她回答道。

We need to get the bear down before our yard sale starts," Sam said. We could always cancel the yard sale, Mrs. Miller said. I put up so many signs, Sam groaned. I know we can get the bear to come down if we just brainstorm the right idea.

"我们得在庭院旧货售卖开始前把熊弄下来。"山姆说。 "我们大可以取消这次庭院售卖呀。"米勒太太说。 "我都贴了那么多告示了。"山姆嘟囔着。 "只要我们好好头脑风暴想出好点子，肯定能把熊引下来的。"

Like the idea you had for the squirrels? his mom asked. Two weeks before, Sam tried to stop the squirrels from eating all the bird seed. He dug a pit around the bird feeder and ruined his mother's tulips.

"就像你之前对付松鼠想的那个主意吗？"妈妈问。 两周前，山姆想要阻止松鼠吃光所有鸟食， 他在喂鸟器周围挖了个坑，结果弄坏了妈妈种的郁金香。

This is different," Sam said. I promised you I'd draw all my ideas first before I actually do anything. We could move our trampoline under the tree so the bear could jump onto it, Sarah suggested.

"这次不一样。"山姆说。 "我答应你，这次动手前我会先把所有想法都画下来。" "我们可以把蹦床移到树底下，这样熊就可以跳到蹦床上啦。"萨拉提议道。
