《乌鸦分馅饼》，作者：罗伯特·查尔斯， 绘者：克里斯·鲍德温。

One delightfully sunny day, a large crow flew over Mrs. McNutty's house. Looking down, he spotted a big, freshly baked pie cooling on the windowsill. Because pie was about his favorite thing in the world, he swooped down for a closer look.

在一个阳光明媚的好日子，一只大乌鸦飞过麦克纳蒂太太的家。 他往下一看，发现窗台上放着一个刚烤好的大馅饼，正在晾凉呢。 馅饼可是他在这世上最爱的东西，所以他猛地俯冲下去，想凑近瞧瞧。

As the crow glided by, he could tell that nobody was home. He safely landed on the windowsill and eyed the wonderful smelling pie. The crow became especially excited to see that it was a cherry pie. Boy, delicious cherry pie, my favorite, he said, and it's all mine.

乌鸦滑过窗台的时候，发现屋里没人。 他稳稳落在窗台上，盯着香气诱人的馅饼看。 乌鸦发现这是樱桃馅饼，别提多兴奋了。 他念叨着：“哇，好吃的樱桃馅饼，我的最爱，全都是我的啦。”

Just as he was about to take his first bite, a second crow flapped down and landed on the windowsill with a thump. That's a mighty big and tasty looking pie, she called. You don't intend to eat it all by yourself, do you? Well, I was sure thinking I would, answered the first crow. Since I found it first, it's all mine.

就在他要咬下第一口的时候，第二只乌鸦扑棱着翅膀飞下来，咚的一声落在了窗台上。 她喊道：“这个馅饼看起来好大，好好吃呀。” “你该不会想一个人把它全吃光吧？” 第一只乌鸦回答：“唔，我本来确实是这么想的。” “是我先发现的，所以它全是我的。”

Don't be so selfish, replied the second crow. You can certainly see that there's enough pie for two hungry crows. Besides, you'll feel far better sharing the pie than you will getting a tummy ache from eating the entire thing. So how about giving some of it to me? The first crow took a few moments to think.

第二只乌鸦说：“别这么自私嘛。” “你看这馅饼这么大，足够两只饿肚子的乌鸦吃啦。” “再说了，和我分着吃可比你一个人吃光吃到肚子疼要舒服多啦。” “分给我一点好不好呀？” 第一只乌鸦想了一小会儿。

I suppose I could share it with you. After all, it is a very large pie. How do you propose we divide it? He asked. Let's just split it down the middle, offered the second crow. That way you get one half and I get the other half. It's fair if we each get equal halves of the pie, isn't it?

“我好像可以和你分着吃。” “毕竟这馅饼确实挺大的。” “那你说我们要怎么分呀？” 他问道。 第二只乌鸦提议：“我们从中间切开就行啦。” “这样你一半，我一半。” “我们俩分到的馅饼一样多，这样很公平，对不对？”
