　　四隻老鼠

　　Once upon a time, there were four mice that lived in a wall in the field.

　　Summer was coming, and so the mice came out of the wall to collect berries, nuts, corn and straw. Everyone was working very hard, day and night.

　　Everyone was working very hard, except, Frederick.

　　“Why aren’t you working, Frederick?” his friends asked him. “oh,but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting the sunshine for the cold, dark winter.”

　　A few days later his friends asked him again “why aren’t you working,Frederick?” “Oh, but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting colors for the long, grey winter.”

　　A few days later his friends asked him again “why aren’t you working, Frederick?” “Oh, but I am.” Frederick told them. “I’m collecting words for the long, quiet winter.”

　　Soon, the first snow came, and the four mice went back into the wall.

　　They ate their berries and they ate their nuts and they ate their corn and they ate their straw. But time passed, and time passed, and soon there were no more berries, and soon there were no more nuts and soon there were no more corn and soon there were no more straw.

　　Now the winter was cold and dark, long and quiet. The mice were sad and hungry. Then they remembered Frederick.

　　“Hey, Frederick, can you show us what you collected for the winter.”

　　“Ok,” said Frederick, “close your eyes. Here is my sunshine for the cold, dark inter.” And Frederick b

　　began to tell his friends some stories, and the mice to feel warmer and warmer.

　　“Great, Frederick! How about the colors and the words?”

　　“Ok,” said Frederick, “close your eyes” and he told them about theblue skies, and he told them about the red poppies, and he told them about thegreen grass, and he told them about the purple berries, and he told them about theyellow corn of summer.

　　“That’s wonderful, Frederick, thank you.” Said the mice. “We’ve learnedsomething about you”, they told him.

　　What do you think they learned?

　　很久以前，在田野中的一築圍牆裡住著四隻老鼠。

　　夏天來了，老鼠們走出牆外去收集漿果、堅果、玉米粒和稻草。他們從早到晚玩

　　努力工作，除了弗雷德裡克。

　　“弗雷德裡克，你為什麼不工作?”他的朋友們問他。“我在工作吖。”弗雷德裡克說,"我在為寒冷的深冬收集陽光呢。”

　　幾天過後，他的朋友們再一次問道，“弗雷德裡克，你為什麼不工作?”他的朋友們問他。“我在工作吖。”弗雷德裡克說,"我在為漫長的灰白色冬天收集色彩呢。”

　　幾天過後，他的朋友們再一次問道，“弗雷德裡克，你為什麼不工作?”他的朋友們問他。“我在工作吖。”弗雷德裡克說,"我在為漫長寂靜的冬天收集言語呢。”

　　很快，第一場雪就到了，四隻老鼠回到了洞中。他們吃著漿果、堅果、玉米粒和稻草。但是隨著時間的推移，他們沒有漿果、堅果、玉米粒和稻草這些吃的東西了。

　　現在冬天又冷又黑暗，漫長又寂靜。老鼠們飢腸轆轆。這時候他們想起了弗雷德裡克。

　　“嘿，弗雷德裡克，能給我們看看你為冬天收集的東西嗎?”

　　"好的,"弗雷德裡克說，“閉上你們的眼睛。這裡有我為寒冷冬天收集的陽光。”

　　接著弗雷德裡克為他的朋友們講故事，小老鼠們感覺越來越溫暖起來。

　　“ 很好，弗雷德裡克!那麼色彩和語言呢?”

　　"好的,"弗雷德裡克說，“閉上你們的眼睛。他開始給他們夏天藍色的天空、紅色的***、綠色的小草、紫色的漿果和黃色的玉米粒。

　　“太棒了，弗雷德裡克，謝謝你。”小老鼠們說道。“我們跟你學到了很多東西。”

　　千鏡之屋 The House of 1000 Mirrors

　　Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

　　In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

　　在這個村裡還有另一隻想參觀"千鏡屋"的小狗，他不及第一隻小狗樂觀，他慢吞吞地爬上臺階，然後耷拉著腦袋往屋子裡看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯著他，他便開始衝他們狂吠，鏡中的1000只小狗也衝著他狂吠，把他給嚇壞了，他在離開時心想："這是一個恐怖的地方，我再也不會來了。"
