LESSON 42 THE BOY THAT LIKED PLAY
第四十二课 贪玩的男孩
They had not gone far when they saw a dog lying by the road-side; and the boy said,“May I not play with the dog? For it seems to have nothing to do.”
他们没走多远就看到一只狗躺在路边，小男孩说道，“我可以和狗玩耍吗？他看上去无事可做。”
Just then a man gave a loud whistle. The dog started up at once, and ran off to help him with the sheep he was driving to the market.
小男孩话音刚落响起了一声男人的口哨。这只狗立刻起身跑过去帮主人把羊赶到市场上去。
Still further on, the boy saw a horse eating, and said, “It can have nothing to do, so I shall go and play with it.”But as he went forward, a man went up with a halter, which he put on the horse's head.
又走了一段路，小男孩看到一只马正在吃东西，就说“它好像无事可做，所以我可以过去和它一起玩耍。”正当小男孩要过去时一个人拿着一条缰绳走了过去，他把缰绳套在了马头上。
As he did so, he said to the boy,“My little fellow, my horse must plough and harrow my fields. I must have oats and barley and wheat to grind and sell, that I may get money.”
正如他所做的一样，他对男孩说道，“我的小伙伴，我的马必须要去耕地。我要打磨燕麦、大麦和小麦去卖从而赚些钱。
Then, when the boy saw that every bee and bird and beast had something to do, he said to his sister,“Well, I shall go to school and learn my lessons.”
然后这个男孩看到所有的蜜蜂、鸟儿、家兽都有事情做，他于是对姐姐说“我要去上学学习课程去了。”
“When I get home, mother win allow me a good long time for play with the other boys, before I go to bed.”
“这样我到家后，妈妈就会允许在我睡前让我和其他的小孩玩好长时间了。”
Saying this, he ran off to school; and his sister was glad to get away to do her own errands.
说着这些，他跑去了学校，他姐姐也高兴的离开去做自己的差事去了。
