Unit 12 A Chicken to A Library
“You already read the first book I gave you and now you want two more books. What a smart chicken you are.” And she gives the chicken two more books.
“我给你的第一本书已经读完了啊,现在居然还要再拿两本书,好聪明的小鸡哦。”她又拿两本书给这只小鸡。
The chicken returns to the library yet another day, goes up to the front counter and says, "Buck, buck, buck." The library is becoming very curious. She gives the chicken three books and this time she follows him to see where he goes.
The chicken brings the books to the pond, where she sees a frog. He gives the books to the frog and he says, "Read it, read it."
小鸡带着书来到池塘,图书管理员看到那里有一只青蛙。小鸡把书拿给青蛙时,青蛙说道:“咧滴,咧滴。”
(注:buck 在这里是指小鸡发出的声音,和 book 发音相似;青蛙发出的声音,音似英文的 read it)
