Unit 12 A Chicken to A Library
第12單元 小雞上圖書館
A chicken walks into a library. He goes to the front counter and says, "Buck". The librarian thinks this is very cute. She says, "Oh, aren't you cute. You want a book." So, she gives the chicken a book and he goes away.
有只小雞走進圖書館，到服務臺叫了一聲：“呱。”圖書管理員覺得小雞好可愛，說道：“哇，你好可愛哦，要書是嗎？”于是她拿了一本書給小雞，小雞拿了書就走了。
The next day the same chicken comes back to the library. He goes to the front counter and says, "Buck, buck." The librarian is impressed.
第二天，小雞又回到圖書館，仍然跑到前面柜臺叫著：“呱、呱。”圖書管理員一副佩服不已的表情說道：
“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.
“我給你的第一本書已經讀完了啊，現在居然還要再拿兩本書，好聰明的小雞哦。”她又拿兩本書給這只小雞。
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.
小雞沒過幾天又回到圖書館，直接跳上前面柜臺叫道：“呱、呱、呱。”圖書管理員很好奇，這回拿了三本給小雞后，便跟蹤它看看它要去哪里。
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."
小雞帶著書來到池塘，圖書管理員看到那里有一只青蛙。小雞把書拿給青蛙時，青蛙說道：“咧滴，咧滴。”
(注：buck 在這里是指小雞發出的聲音，和 book 發音相似；青蛙發出的聲音，音似英文的 read it)
