Fred and I were playing 'hide and seek' round the old barn, one night just at dusk.

"I was just creeping round the corner,
“我剛爬到角落里，
when I heard a loud squeak,
就聽見一記響亮的吱吱聲。
and a big bird flew up with something in his claws.

I should think he could fight like a good fellow with that sharp bill."

"He can when he is wide awake;
“它十分清醒時是可以的，
but owls can't see very well in the daytime,
但貓頭鷹在白天看不太清楚東西，
and he was taking a nap.
它正在打盹兒。”
"He opened his great eyes,

and ruffled up his feathers,

說：‘咕！咕！’
'Never mind who,' Fred said,

and slipped him into a bag."
