2.怎么啦，伯迪，这些不是马驹。马驹是小的马，有时候是很小很小的马。
3.是的，我知道马驹是小马，有时候像山羊一样小，不是吗？那难道不就能让山羊成为小马驹吗？
4.山羊不是一匹马，对吗？
5.对，不是。
6.那么一只山羊不能成为一匹马驹，因为马驹是小的马。威利的马驹不是马。它们是马驹吗？
7.不，它们不是马驹，但是他把它们叫做马驹。它们是什么？它们是山羊吗？

5.You know father says-Early to bed and early to rise，Makes a man healthy，wealthy，and wise.
6.If we go soon，may be we can kill a fox.Father said there was one in the lot yesterday morning，and that it killed one of the little lambs.
7.But we must be off soon，or we shall not get it.A fox willnot stay long after the sun is up.
8.Here is the gun.I got it ready last night.You may take it and shoot the fox-if you can！

4.来！从你的小床上起来，在太阳不那么灼热之前，让我们去和它们一起奔跑。

6.如果我们快点去，也许我们能杀掉一只狐狸。爸爸说昨天早上草场里有一只狐狸，它杀死了其中一只小羊羔。
7.可是我们得赶快出发，否则我们就赶不上了。太阳出来以后，狐狸不会待太久的。
8.这是枪。我昨天晚上准备好的。你可以拿去射击狐狸--如果你行的话！
