THE BEAR AND THE CHILDREN
狗熊和孩子們
In the parlor of an inn in a small town, sat a man who had been going about with a bear.
在小鎮的一家客棧客廳里，坐著一位帶著狗熊一起出門辦事的人。
He was waiting for his supper, and the bear was tied up in the yard.
他在等待晚餐，而狗熊則被拴在后院里。
Up in the attic, three little children were playing together.
閣樓上，三個小孩正在一起玩耍。
The eldest might have been six years old; the youngest, not more than two.
最大的孩子已經六歲了，最小的還不到兩歲。
Stump! stump! stump! Some one was coming up the stairs.
咚！咚！咚！有人在上樓。
The door flew open suddenly, and there stood the great, shaggy bear.
門突然開了，門口出現了一頭高大而長滿毛發的狗熊。
He had got tired of waiting, and had found his way to the stairs.
它已經等煩了，自己找到了通往樓梯的通道。
The children were badly frightened.
孩子們非常害怕，
Each one crept into a corner, but the bear found them all out, and smelt their clothes, but did not hurt them.
他們都爬進了墻角。狗熊發現了他們，但只聞了聞他們的衣服，卻沒有傷害他們。
"This must be a great dog," they said, and they began to pat him.
“這一定是條大狗。”說罷，他們開始輕輕地拍它。
Then the bear lay down on the floor, and the youngest boy climbed on his back,
之后，這只狗熊躺倒在地板上。最小的男孩爬到了它的背上，
hid his head in the shaggy fur, and played at "hide and seek."
把頭藏在它濃密的毛里玩捉迷藏。
The eldest boy took his drum and began to strike it, when the bear rose on his hind legs and danced.
當狗熊抬起后腿跳舞時，最大的男孩敲起了他的鼓。
At that the children gave a merry shout.
孩子們高興地歡呼起來。
The two younger boys took their wooden guns, and gave the bear one.
兩個較小的男孩拿起他們的木槍，還給了狗熊一把。
Away they all marched around the room, keeping step.
他們一起圍著屋子列隊踏步。
Now the frightened mother of the children came to the door.
現在，孩子們受驚的媽媽來到門口。
But the youngest boy shouted, joyfully. "See, we are playing soldiers!"
最小的男孩快樂地喊道：“看，我們在玩假扮士兵的游戲！”
Then the bear's master came running up, and took the bear away.
這時，狗熊的主人跑過來，把它帶走了。
