《雨中钓鱼》，大卫·科克罗夫特绘

The Hoppers had one week left before school began. They were supposed to go camping with Grandpa Grizzly, but it rained and rained. Come on, Hoppers, we'll go camping rain or shine, said Grandpa Grizzly.

霍珀家的小家伙们离开学还有一周时间。 他们本来打算和灰熊爷爷一起去露营， 可雨下个不停。 走吧孩子们， 下不下雨我们都要去露营，灰熊爷爷说。

Won't the tent get wet? asked Fluffy -Ears. We won't be able to build a campfire, said Speedy -Legs. Our hot dogs and marshmallows will get soggy, said Fluffy -Tail. Camping isn't any fun in the rain, sniffed Snubby -Nose.

帐篷会不会被淋湿呀？绒绒耳问。 我们都没法生篝火了，快快腿说。 我们的热狗和棉花糖都会被泡软的，绒绒尾说。 下雨天露营一点意思都没有，塌塌鼻抽着鼻子说。

But fish always bite when it rains, said Grandpa Grizzly. He pulled out four new fishing poles for the hoppers. We'll go fishing, cried the hoppers. Thank you, Grandpa Grizzly.

不过下雨的时候鱼儿最爱咬钩啦，灰熊爷爷说。 他掏出了四根崭新的鱼竿，给孩子们用。 我们要去钓鱼！孩子们都欢呼起来。 谢谢你，灰熊爷爷。

The four hoppers carried their poles into the woods. Grandpa Grizzly set up his big tent. Inside it was dry and comfortable. But the hoppers didn't mind the rain. They sat on the banks of the river and fished.

四个小家伙扛着鱼竿走进树林， 灰熊爷爷搭起了他的大帐篷。 帐篷里又干燥又舒服， 不过孩子们一点都不怕下雨。 他们坐在河岸边钓起了鱼。

Grandpa Grizzly said, You must be very quiet so you don't scare the fish. Just then, Speedy Legs began to sneeze. He sneezed so loudly that not a fish would bite. Then Floppy Ears began to cough. She coughed so much that the fish all swam away.

灰熊爷爷说： 你们得安安静静的，不然会把鱼儿吓跑哦。 就在这时，快快腿开始打喷嚏。 他的喷嚏太响了，鱼儿都不肯咬钩了。 接着软耷耳开始咳嗽。 她咳个不停，把鱼儿全都吓跑了。
