DONALD’S VISIT TO THE WOOLEN MILLS
唐納德的毛紡廠之行
Sara Ware Bassett
作者：薩拉·韋爾·巴西特
Donald had worn woolen clothes all his life, but he did not know how the wool got from the sheep’s back to his back. Perhaps he had not even thought about it until he visited the ranch and saw the sheep having their coats taken off by the clippers. Do you know how a sheep’s coat is made into cloth for your coat? This story will tell you.
唐納德一生都穿羊毛衣服，但他不知道羊毛是怎么從羊背上到他背上的。也許直到他去了牧場，看到剪羊毛的人把羊的外套給剪掉了，他才想到這件事。你知道一件綿羊的外套是怎么做成布料做你的外套的嗎？下面這個故事會告訴你。
IN THE warehouse
在貨倉
Donald Clark had spent several months with his father on the Crescent Ranch in Idaho. This sheep ranch was owned by Clark and Sons, of Boston. It supplied wool to that company’s large warehouse, of which Donald’s father was manager. When Mr. Clark returned with Donald from the ranch, he brought Thornton, a young ranchman, with them to work in the Boston warehouse. The warehouse was not new to Donald, for he had often been there with his father; but to Thornton this part of the wool business was entirely new.
唐納德·克拉克和他的父親在愛達荷州的新月牧場住了幾個月。這個牧羊場屬于波士頓的克拉克父子公司。它為那家公司的大倉庫供應羊毛，唐納德的父親是倉庫經理。當克拉克先生和唐納德從牧場回來時，他帶著年輕的農場主桑頓到波士頓的倉庫工作。這個倉庫對唐納德來說并不陌生，因為他經常和父親一起待在那里；但對桑頓來說，這部分羊毛生意是全新的。
