Late in the afternoon,
傍晚时分
the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field.
孩子们在田野中央搭起了帐篷
As soon as this was done,
这件事刚刚做完
they cooked a meal over an open fire.
他们就在篝火上烧起了饭
They were all hungry and the food smelled good.
他们全都饿了 饭菜散发出阵阵香味
After a wonderful meal,
他们美美地吃了一顿饭后
they told stories and sang songs by the campfire.
就围在营火旁讲起了故事 唱起了歌
But some time later it began to rain.
但过了一阵子
The boys felt tired,so they put out the fire and crept into their tent.
天下起雨来 于是他们扑灭了篝火 钻进了帐篷
Their sleeping bags were warm and comfortable,
睡袋既暖和又舒服
so they all slept soundly.
所以 他们都睡得很香
In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting.
午夜前后 有两个孩子醒了 大声叫了起来
The tent was full of water!
原来帐篷里到处都是水
They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried outside.
他们全都跳出睡袋跑到外面
It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field.
雨下得很大 他们发现地上已经形成了一条小溪
The stream wound its way across the field
那小溪弯弯曲曲穿过田野
and then flowed right under their tent!
然后正好从他们的帐篷底下流过去
