有一個(gè)小孩叫Harry,他住在一個(gè)山洞里。Harry是個(gè)小小發(fā)明家。他的鄰居Chief Grump性情古怪,看什么都不順眼。Harry送給他一件禮物,讓他很開心,一起看一下到底是怎樣的一件禮物呢?
1. Hi! My name is Harry. I live with my family in this cave. I like to make new things.
大家好,我叫Harry。我們一家住在這個(gè)洞穴里。我喜歡發(fā)明新東西。

這是Chief Grump。他經(jīng)常發(fā)火。明天是他的生日。大概我的禮物會(huì)讓他開心吧。哇!我從沒見過這么棒的禮物。
3. Its time for Chief Grumps party. He gets lots of presents. A rock, some wood, a fish and a bone. Chief Grump says, “I do not want these!” He throws them down the hill.
Chief Grump生日宴會(huì)的時(shí)間到了。他收到了很多禮物:一塊石頭,一些木頭,一條魚和一根骨頭。他說:“我不想要什么生日宴!”他把所有的東西扔下了山。
4. Now Chief Grump opens my present. “What does it do?” Everyone looks at my new thing. But no one can guess what it does. Not even me.
然后Chief Grump打開了我的禮物。“這是用來干嘛的?”所有人都看著我的新發(fā)明。但是沒人能猜出這是個(gè)什么東西。就連我自己也不知道。
5. Chief Grump says, “It does not do anything!” He kicks it down the hill. Hey! Now I know what this new thing does. It rolls!
Chief Grump說:“它什么用處也沒有!”他把它踢下了山。嗨!我終于知道這個(gè)新發(fā)明的用處了。它可以滾!
6. I take it back. I put something here. I add something there. Maybe Chief Grump will like it now. I tell him, “Sit here. Put your feet there.” I give him a push.
我把它拿回來。我在這里加點(diǎn)東西,那里添點(diǎn)零件??赡蹸hief Grump現(xiàn)在就會(huì)喜歡它了。我告訴他說:“請(qǐng)坐。把你的腳放在上面。”我推了他一下。
7. Look! I make something really new. And I make Chief Grump smile!
瞧!我真的發(fā)明了新玩意。我讓Chief Grump笑了。
