In the drain
在排水孔里
When Mrs. Frederick C. Little's second son arrived, everybody noticed that he was not much bigger than a mouse.
弗里德里克.C.利特爾先生的第二個兒子出世以后，每個見過他的人都發現他并不比一只老鼠大多少。
The truth of the matter was, the baby looked very much like a mouse in every way.
事實上，這個嬰兒看起來簡直就像一只老鼠，不管你從哪個方面看。
He was only about two inches high; and he had a mouse's sharp nose, a mouse's tail, a mouse's whiskers, and the pleasant, shy manner of a mouse.
他只有大約兩英寸高：長著一個老鼠樣的尖鼻子，一條老鼠尾巴，一嘴老鼠的胡子，還有老鼠一樣可愛的、害羞的舉止。
Before he was many days old he was not only looking like a mouse but acting like one, too -- wearing a gray hat and carrying a small cane.
在他生下來后的很多天里，頭上戴著一頂灰帽子，拄著一根小手杖的他，不僅樣子像一只老鼠，行為方式也像。
Mr. and Mrs. Little named him Stuart, and Mr. Little made him a tiny bed out of four clothespins and a cigarette box.
利特爾先生和太太給他起名為斯圖亞特，利特爾先生還給他用一個香煙盒與四個衣服夾子做了一張小床。
Unlike most babies, Stuart could walk as soon as he was born.
和絕大多數的嬰兒不同，斯圖亞特剛一落生就能走路了。
When he was a week old he could climb lamps by shinnying up the cord.
當他長到一周大時，就能順著燈繩爬到燈上去了。
Mrs. Little saw right away that the infant clothes she had provided were unsuitable, and she set to work and made him a fine little blue worsted suit with patch pockets in which he could keep his handkerchief, his money, and his keys.
利特爾太太見了，立刻就知道了她以前給他做的嬰兒服已經不合身了，于是就趕緊用毛料給他做了一個很小的藍外套，里面還縫上了衣兜，這樣他就可以在里面裝他的手絹，錢，還有他的鑰匙了。
Every morning, before Stuart dressed, Mrs. Little went into his room and weighed him on a small scale which was really meant for weighing letters.
每天早晨，在斯圖亞特開始穿衣前，利特爾太太都會來到他的房間，用一個用來秤信的小天平給他量體重。
