You Can Help Your Country
你能幫助你的祖國
Did you read the name of this Part? What is it? Do you know what the word "citizen" means? It means "a person who lives in a country and belongs to it". So, you are a citizen of the United States of America. It is your country. It protects you and gives you many things to make you happy. But your country cannot be great and free and happy unless its boys and girls do their part. Perhaps you think you have to wait until you are grown up before you can help your country. But this is not true.
你讀過這部分的名字了嗎?是什么?你知道單詞“citizen”的意思嗎?它是指“居住在一個國家并屬于這個國家的人”。所以,你是美利堅合眾國的公民。美國是你的祖國。它保護你,并賦予你很多讓你感到幸福的東西。但是,只有大家都盡到自己的責任,祖國才能強大、自由和幸福。或許你認為自己必須長大了才能為國效力,但事實并非如此。

When you play games hard and fairly, study your lessons faithfully, and help about the home cheerfully, you are doing your part as an American citizen. You are doing your everyday jobs just as well as you can, and that is what your country needs of you.
當你努力公平地比賽,全身心地投入學習、愉快地做家務時,你就是在做一個美國公民應該做的事情。你每天盡自己所能得完成自己的工作,這就是國家需要你做的。
Now our Book Comrade will tell you some stories of boys and girls,true citizens. You will first be taken far back to the days when our country was young. Here your Book Comrade will tell you of brave Anne Randolph, of unselfish Sally, and of quickthinking Jonathan Bartlett.
