淘气的黛西

淘气的黛西

有一头奶牛，名叫黛西。每天，她都要和另外的九头奶牛一起，在田野里吃草。

到了黄昏的时候，农夫就会来接他们回家。黛西很淘气，她一看见农夫，就会跑到一边藏起来。每当她跑起来的时候，她那巨大而肥胖的身体就会扭呀扭呀，嘴里呼呼地喘气。

左扭，右扭，呼呼，黛西藏到大树的后面。

右扭，左扭，呼呼，黛西藏到石头的后面……

Naughty Daisy

There was once a dairy cow who was called Daisy. Every day she would accompany the other nine dairy cows to eat grass out in the field.

At sunset, the farmer would take them home. Daisy was very naughty. As soon as she saw the farmer she would always run to one side to hide. Each time that she started to run, her enormous, plump body would wiggle from side to side, and she would pant heavily.

With a wiggle to the left and a waggle to the right, wheeze, wheeze, Daisy hid behind the big tree.

With a wiggle to the left and a waggle to the right, wheeze, wheeze, Daisy hid behind the stone.

于是，农夫先看看草丛里面，没有黛西；农夫再看看水沟里面，没有黛西；农夫去石头后面去找，也没有黛西；最后，农夫看看灌木的后面，啊，找到了。

“你在这儿，淘气的黛西。”农夫说，“捉迷藏结束了，快回家去。”

怎样才能容易地找到黛西呢？农夫想呀想呀，终于想出了一个办法。一天，他趁黛西睡觉的时候，在她的脖子上系了一个铃铛。

第二天，农夫像往常一样去带牛回家，当牛聚集在一起的时候，他又数了一数，1，2，3，4，5，6，7，8，9，九头听话的奶牛都在，黛西又不见了。

So, Mr. Farmer searched in the deep grass, but daisy wasn't there. The farmer looked in the ditch, but Daisy wasn't there. The farmer looked behind the rock, but Daisy wasn't there. Finally the farmer looked in the bushes. Ah! There she was.

"You are here, naughty Daisy." said the farmer,"Hide and seek is over. Go home quickly."

What would make it easier to find Daisy? The farmer thought and thought and finally came up with a plan. He would take advantage of when Daisy was asleep to tie a bell round her neck.

The next day, the farmer went as usual to take the cows back home. When the cows herded together, he started to count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 well behaved cows were all there, but Daisy was missing again.

但这次，农夫没有去找黛西，他站在那里倾听着。在大树的后面，传来“丁零、丁零”的声音。啊，找到了。

原来，黛西扭呀扭呀的时候，铃铛也发出了“丁零、丁零”的声音。

于是，每当黛西跑开的时候，都会左扭，右扭，呼呼，丁零，丁零；右扭，左扭，呼呼，丁零，丁零……

农夫很快乐，因为他每次都能很快地找到黛西；黛西也很高兴，因为她喜欢听铃铛的声音，丁零，丁零……

By this time, the farmer did not go searching for Daisy. He stood there and listened. A "ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling" sound rang out from the behind the tree. Ah, she is there.

When Daisy wiggled this way and that, the bell would ring with a "ding-a-ling,ding-a-ling."

And so, every time that Daisy ran, she would wiggle to the left and waggle to the right, wheeze, wheeze, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling...

The farmer was very happy, because he was always able to find Daisy very quickly. Daisy was also very happy, because she liked to hear the sound of the bell, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling...
