When the mailman reached a post-box by the side of a country road, a little girl was playing in the yard.
郵遞員來到鄉(xiāng)村路邊的一個郵箱,一個小姑娘正在院子里玩耍。
"Did you bring my letter?" she asked eagerly, as she came running to the automobile.
有我的信嗎?她跑到車子旁急切地問道。
"I think so, Mary Ellen,"answered the mailman, smiling.
瑪麗·艾倫,好像有,郵遞員笑著回答道。
First he gave the little girl a letter for her father.

"Oh, thank you," said Mary Ellen, as she hugged her envelope and ran into the house.
哦,謝謝你,瑪麗·艾倫邊說邊抱著自己的信封跑進了屋里。
"You are welcome," said the mailman.
不客氣,郵遞員說道。
The valentine felt small fingers opening the envelope, and it peeked out a bit.

"Oh oh," thought the valentine, "how glad I am to be on time!"

A moment later it was in a bright and pleasant room,
不一會兒情人節(jié)賀卡就進了一間敞亮宜人的屋子,
where there were flowers by the windows, and a gray pussy by the fireplace.

Suddenly it heard a soft and happy voice say," Oh, how lovely!"
