The Red Wagon
紅色的玩具馬車
Once there was a beautiful big red wagon in the window of a toy store.
玩具店的櫥窗里以前有一輛漂亮的紅色大馬車。
Billy and George often came to the store window and looked at the toys. Among them were tops and sleds, books and balls, and other fine things. But the boys liked the red wagon best of all.
比利和喬治經(jīng)常來商店櫥窗處看玩具，里面有陀螺、雪橇、書籍和球等好東西。但他們最喜歡紅色的玩具馬車。
"I wish I had that wagon," said Billy. "I could use it for so many things."
“我要是有那輛車多好啊，”比利說，“我會用它做很多事。”
"I wish it were mine," said George. "I would play with it all day."
“我希望它是我的，”喬治說，“那樣我就能整天玩它了。”
The man who kept the store heard the boys talking about the big red wagon.
店主聽到了孩子們談論紅色大馬車的話。
"Both of those boys want that wagon," he said to himself. "I wonder which boy will get it."
“兩個男孩都想要那輛馬車，”他自言自語道，“我好奇誰能得到它?！?/p>
One day George's mother wanted to bake a cake. She called George.
有一天，喬治媽媽想要烤蛋糕。她叫喬治。
"I am going to bake a cake," she said. "I need some flour and butter. Will you go to the store for me?"
“我要烤蛋糕，”她說，“我需要一些面粉和黃油。你能去商店幫我買點兒嗎？”
"Wait a minute, Mother," said George. "I want to spin my top for a while."
“等一下，媽媽，”喬治說，“我要轉(zhuǎn)一會兒陀螺?！?/div>

But he had such a good time spinning his top that he forgot all about going to the store.
但他玩陀螺玩得很高興，完全忘了去商店的事。
The very same day Billy's mother said, "Billy, I need some things from the store. Will you get them for me, please?"
同一天，比利媽媽說：“比利，我需要從商店買些東西。你能幫我買來嗎？”
"Yes, mother," answered Billy. "I'll go right now."
“好的，媽媽，我馬上去?！北壤卮鸬馈?/div>
When Billy went past George's house, he saw George spinning his top on the walk.
當比利經(jīng)過喬治家時，看到他在人行道上轉(zhuǎn)陀螺。
"Come here, Billy," George called. "Let's spin our tops."
“比利，過來，”喬治說，“我們一起轉(zhuǎn)陀螺?！?/div>
"I can't stop just now," answered Billy.
“我現(xiàn)在不能停下來玩，”比利說，
"Mother sent me on an errand. I'll play with you after I come back."
“媽媽派我去辦事。我回來后和你玩?！?/div>
Billy went on. Soon he came past again with his arms full of packages.
比利繼續(xù)走。不久他就抱著一堆東西回來了。
That evening Billy helped his father rake the leaves. They raked them into a big pile.
那天晚上，比利幫他爸爸掃樹葉。他們把它堆成一個大堆。
Then they carried them to the garden and burned them.
然后把它們運到花園燒了。
"I could do more work," said Billy, "if I had a big red wagon."
“如果我有紅色大馬車的話，能干更多活。”比利說。
George's father was raking leaves, too. He needed a helper, but George was in the park playing ball.
喬治的爸爸也在掃落葉。他需要一個幫手，但喬治在公園玩球。
The two boys would often meet at the toy store. One day when they saw the big red wagon, it had a green card on it.
兩個男孩經(jīng)常在玩具店見面。一天，他們看那輛紅色大馬車時，看到上面有張綠卡片。
"Oh, look!" said George. "The card says SOLD. Some boy is going to get the red wagon."
“噢，快看！”喬治說，“卡片上寫著售出。有個男孩要得到這輛紅色馬車了。”
The boys walked home slowly. They felt sad because the red wagon was sold. They wondered if any of their playmates would get it.
男孩們緩緩地走回家。他們很傷心，因為紅色馬車賣出去了。他們想知道哪個玩伴買了它。
Next morning Billy's mother called, "Billy! Wake up! Wake up!"
第二天，比利的媽媽叫道：“比利，醒醒！醒醒！”
Billy opened one eye. Then he opened the other eye. He saw something in his room that made him very wide awake.
比利睜開一只眼睛。隨后睜開另一只。他在房間里看到的某個東西令他完全醒了。
There was the big red wagon! It had a card on it, but this card did not say SOLD. It said, "Happy Birthday to a good helper who needs a red wagon."
紅色大玩具馬車！它上面有張卡片，但不是寫著售出，而是“生日快樂，好幫手！你需要一輛紅色馬車?！?/p>
