Keb Needs a Home

Kev Needs a Home, written by Simone Toppo, illustrated by Terry Herman.

《凯夫需要一个家》，作者西蒙娜·托波，绘者特里·赫尔曼。

The life of a hermit crab isn't so bad. They live near the seashore, and they bask in the warm sun. They bathe in the salty sea, and they play in the surf.

寄居蟹的生活可不算太糟哦。 他们住在海边，晒着暖洋洋的太阳。 他们在咸咸的海水里泡澡，在浪花里嬉戏玩耍。

The views are great too. Sunrises and sunsets can be pretty spectacular. And you can't beat the night sky with all its twinkling stars.

这里的风景也超棒的，日出和日落都特别壮观。 还有缀满闪闪星星的夜空，更是美得无与伦比。

But for one hermit crab, life was not so great. You see, Keb was a hermit crab of spectacular proportions.

但对一只寄居蟹来说，生活可就没这么美好啦。 你看，凯夫是一只个头特别特别大的寄居蟹。

You might think that being the biggest crab on the seashore had its advantages. However, for Keb, the advantages were few and far between.

你可能会觉得，当海边最大的寄居蟹肯定有不少好处。 可对凯夫来说，好处少得可怜，几乎没有。

One of the biggest problems with being big was just that, being big. Being big made it easy for hungry gulls to spot keb as they hung like kites in the stiff sea breeze.

个头大带来的最大问题之一，恰恰就是个头太大啦。 饥饿的海鸥像风筝似的停在强劲的海风里，个头大的凯夫很容易就被它们发现。
