7.You may be sure that Ann and the cat had no end to their sport that day；at any rate，not till they were turned into their little beds；and then they were soon fast asleep.

1.安，你愿意为我再做点事情吗？
2.噢，是的，妈妈。我喜欢帮你干活。安小小的蓝眼睛闪现出一种柔和的爱的目光。
3.嗯，亲爱的，我现在需要你。我怕那只猫跳到我的膝盖上去抓线球，你把这一根带子绑到这个软木塞上，然后把它挂在墙上的钉子处。
4.当安按照吩咐绑好木塞并且把它绑到钉子上的时候，她妈妈说，现在晃一晃木塞，你就会看到猫会做什么了。
5.然后--噢，我的天！猫飞快地跳向它！它用两只手爪去击打它，接着用上全部四只爪子，然后它抓住带子，摇来摆去。
6.接着它跳下来，穿越房间又跑回来，然后跳到安的身上，好像就是要向她显示它是多么地喜欢她，它不停地玩闹，使安不得不常常大笑。
7.你大概能肯定安和猫那天玩个不停，直到他们都被放到各自的小床上为止，然后，他们很快地熟睡了。
THE PET LAMB
宠物小羊
1.Do you know what a pet lamb is？Jenny has a pet lamb.
Here is a picture of it.
2.Jenny lives in a city，where lambs are not seen very often，and she wants all her little friends to see her lamb，and to know how glad she is.
3.So，when she met Mary this morning，she told her about her lamb，and Mary went to see it.Shall I tell you what the girls said？
4.Jenny had not seen Mary for a long time，but the first thingshe said to her was--5.O Mary！I have a little lamb！a little pet lamb！Won‘t yougo and see it？
6.M.Yes，I should like to，if mamma will let me.Where is it？
7.J.It is in the yard up at our house.I hope your mamma will let you go.It is such a nice little lamb！I do want you to see it.
8.M.I will run right into the house and ask mamma.-O，how glad I am！Mamma says I may go.
9.Why，Jenny！how black it is！I thought lambs were white.
10.J.No；not always.Most lambs are white；but isn’t this a real black one？
11.M.Why，it is as black as jet.Where did you get it？
12.J.Uncle Ralph gave it to me.When he found it in thelot，it was so wet and cold it could not go.
13.M.But how it can run and jump now！
14.J.And yet it is so gentle I can call it up to me.See，now，-Topsy！Topsy！come to me.Do you see，Mary，it is coming right up to me.
15.M.How did you make it so gentle？
16.J.O，I would feed it，and pat it，and put my face on it，and talk gently to it.
17.M.But how did it know what you said？
18.J.I do not know that it did，yet it would act as if it did.
19.M.O，I see now how it was！You were good to the lamb，and it was good to you.Mother has often told me that kindness to others would make them kind to me；and now I see that animals，too，can be made kind and gentle by our being kind to them.

1.你知不知道宠物小羊是什么？詹妮有一只宠物小羊。这里有一张它的图画。
2.詹妮住在城市里，那里不是经常能看到羊，她想让她所有的小朋友们看到她的小羊，知道她是多么高兴。
3.所以，今天早上她碰到玛丽的时候，她跟玛丽说起了她的小羊，玛丽去了看它。我该告诉你两个小姑娘说了些什么吗？
4.詹妮很久没有见到玛丽了，但是她向玛丽说的第一句话是：
5.噢，玛丽！我有一只小羊羔！一只宠物小羊！你难道不想去看看它吗？
6.玛丽：是的，我想去，如果妈妈让我去的话。它在哪里？
7.詹妮：它在我们家的院子里。我希望你妈妈会让你去。那是一只那么漂亮的小羊羔啊！我真的想你去看看它！
8.玛丽：我这就跑进屋子里去问妈妈。--噢，我多高兴啊！妈妈说我可以去。
9.咦，詹妮，它真黑！我以为小羊羔是白色的。
10.詹妮：不，不全是的。大部分小羊是白色的，可是这个不就是一只地道的黑色小羊吗？
11.玛丽：怎么，它像墨一样黑。你从哪里得到它的？
12.詹妮：拉尔夫叔叔给我的。他在地里发现它的时候，它是那样的又湿又冷，跑都跑不动。
13.玛丽：可是它现在又能跑又能跳！
14.詹妮：它仍然很听话，我能把它叫过来。现在，看着--托普西！过来我这里。你看见了吗，玛丽，它正朝着我走过来。
15.玛丽：你怎么把它弄得这么听话的？
16.詹妮：噢，我会喂它吃东西，轻轻拍打它，把我的脸贴在它身上，轻声地和它说话。
17.玛丽：可是它怎么听得懂你说些什么呢？
18.詹妮：我不知道它懂不懂，可是它表现得像是听得懂一样。
19.玛丽：噢，现在我知道它以前是什么样的了！你对小羊好，它也会对你好。妈妈常说对别人友善，就会让他们对我友善。现在我看到动物也一样，我们对它们好，就会使它们友善和驯服。

【中文阅读】
1.你们哪一个能告诉我玩具是什么？
2.我能--我能--我能--约翰、简和安马上说。
3.我有一个玩具，约翰说。我的玩具是一个小鼓--它是一面漂亮的小鼓--我也能敲击它。
4.我的玩具是一个铁环--我的是一个玩偶--我能转动我的铁环--我能摇晃我的玩偶，女孩们用她们最快的速度说。
5.他们全都跑开去拿他们的玩具。现在，他们都离开了，我会跟你讲一个小故事。
6.一个男孩和他的妈妈到一家玩具店去买一把玩具枪。可是他看到那么多漂亮的小玩意儿，他几乎不知道要什么了。
7.看，我的儿子，他的妈妈说，这是枪，要我把它买给你吗？
8.不，妈妈，我喜欢这只狗。我能两样都要吗？
9.是的，我会给你买买两个玩具。你选这只狗和那把枪吗？
10.让我看看。这里有一只山羊。一定要看看它的脸！多像一只山羊真的样子！
11.这里还有一头奶牛，这里是一只小羊，身上还有羊毛，就像我在家里养的那只一样！噢，我喜欢这只小羊。
12.还有，噢，看这里，妈妈！这里有一匹马！我喜欢这匹马。
我喜欢它的长尾巴和尖耳朵。
13.它不应该让它的尾巴断掉。一定要买这匹马。现在我不在乎那只小羊了。
14.如果我给你这匹马，你只能再要一个别的，要哪一个呢，狗还是枪？
15.我希望你知道自己的心意，我的儿子。一会儿喜欢这个，一会儿喜欢那个，一会儿--你都不知道要什么了，这是个坏习惯。它会害你一生。
16.你已经选择了这匹马。现在，你愿意选枪还是狗呢？
17.我会选枪，也谢谢你，妈妈。现在我会留着这匹马给我自己，把这把枪送给乔治。
18.然而我必须中断我的故事，因为简来了，她用最快的速度跑着，转着她的铁环。那边安也来了。她是领着她的玩偶吗？
19.嗨，这里！你听见了吗？约翰和他的鼓快要到了。他要是到了这里该弄出多响的声音啊！
20.为最早为小孩子们造出玩具的人叫好！
