Blue Jay finds a way
《小藍鳥Jay的故事》
Blue Jay wanted to fly to the moon.
"Here I go!" said Blue Jay.
He flapped his wings and flew and flew.
But he did not reach the moon.
It was too far.
小藍鳥Jay想飛到月亮上去。
「我去也！」他說。
他拍拍翅膀，飛呀飛。但是他沒法靠近月亮。
那太遠啦。
Blue Jay told his friend Elephant,
"I want to go to the moon,
but I cannot find a way.
I am feeling sad.
I am a blue Blue Jay."
小藍鳥Jay對他的朋友大象說，
「我想去月亮，但是找不著路。
我很難過。我是一隻不開心的小藍鳥。」
"I can help you find a way,"
said Elephant.
"You can?" asked Blue Jay.
"I can!" said Elephant.
"I'll take you to the moon. Hop on!"
Elephant began to run.
She flapped her ears like wings.
「我能幫你找到路。」大象說。
「你能嗎？」小藍鳥Jay說。
「我能！」大象說。
「我要帶你到月亮上面去。快跳上來！」
大象開始奔跑。
她拍了拍她的耳朵，像拍動翅膀一樣。
She ran to the end of the cliff and jumped.
But she did not reach the moon.
She rolled down the hill,
down, down, down.
She made Blue Jay a slide.
"Whee!" shouted Blue Jay.
她跑到懸崖邊跳了下去。
但是她沒能夠到月亮。
她滾下了山坡，滾呀滾，滾呀滾。
她讓小藍鳥Jay坐了趟滑滑梯。
「噫！」小藍鳥Jay喊叫到。
"That was fun!" laughed Blue Jay.
"But I still want to find a way to the moon!"
"I can help you find a way,"
said Elephant.
"You can?" asked Blue Jay.
"I can!" said Elephant.
"Let's go on this boat. Hop on!"
「太有趣啦。」小藍鳥Jay笑到。
「可我還是想找條路到月亮上去！」
「我能幫你找到路！」大象說。
「你能嗎？」小藍鳥Jay問。
「我能！」大象說，
「我們乘這艘船去吧。跳上來！」
Elephant rowed the boat with her trunk.
She rowed and rowed.
But the boat just went around and around.
Then it tipped right over.
SPLASH!
Elephant fell out of the boat!
She sank into the mud.
Blue Jay got a cold shower.
大象用她的鼻子划著船。
她劃呀劃。但是船隻在周圍打著轉轉。
然後船就翻了。
譁啦！
大象跌下船啦！她沉到了泥巴裡。
小藍鳥Jay洗了個冷水澡。
"That was fun!" laughed Blue Jay.
"But I still want to find a way to the moon!"
"We won't give up," said Elephant.
"Let's ride this bike into space. Hop on!"
「太有趣啦。」小藍鳥Jay笑到。
「可我還是想找條路到月亮上去！」
「我們不能放棄，」大象說。
「我們騎這輛自行車去太空吧。跳上來！」
Blue Jay put on a small helmet.
Elephant put on a HUGE one.
Elephant began to pedal.
They rode through the woods.
They passed squirrels and birds and a skunk.
They even saw a bear.
"Look!" shouted Elephant. "We are in the stars!"
Blue jay said, "Those are not stars.
They are fireflies!"
小藍鳥Jay戴上了一頂小頭盔。
大象戴上了一頂巨大的頭盔。
大象開始踩踏板。
他們騎過了叢林。
他們路過了松鼠、小鳥們，還有一隻鼬。
他們甚至見到了一隻熊。
「看吶！」大象喊到，「我們已經在星星裡了！」
小藍鳥Jay說，「這些不是星星呢，他們是螢火蟲！」
"I know what we can do," said Elephant.
"One, two, three…" she counted.
"What are you doing?" asked Blue Jay.
"Can you guess?" asked Elephant.
「我知道我們可以做什麼啦，」大象說，
「一隻，兩隻，三隻……」她數到。
「你在幹嘛？」小藍鳥Jay問到。
「你猜呀！」大象說。
"You are counting fireflies!" said Blue Jay.
"Can I help?"
"You can!" said Elephant.
Elephant pointed with her trunk.
And Blue Jay counted.
"Four, five, six, seven."
"Elephant," said Blue Jay,
"I am having such a good time with you.
Let's stay right here on Earth."
「你在數螢火蟲！」小藍鳥Jay說。
「我能幫你一起數嗎？」
「可以呀！」大象說。
大象用自己的鼻子指著，小藍鳥Jay數著。
「四、五、六、七……」
「大象，」小藍鳥Jay說，
「跟你在一起真是好玩。我們還是一隻待在地上吧。」
"It's getting late," said Elephant.
"I'm hungry," said Blue Jay.
"Dinner is waiting on our table,"
said Elephant.
"Let's go!" said Blue Jay.
"I'll take you. Hop on!" said Elephant.
「時間不早啦。」大象說。
「我餓啦。」小藍鳥Jay說。
「晚餐就在桌子上等著我們呢。」大象說。
「我們走吧！」小藍鳥Jay說。
「我來帶上你。跳上來吧！」大象說。
"Look!" Blue Jay shouted.
"We are at the moon! No fooling!"
"I see it," cried Elephant.
"It is right here in this puddle!"
"I did find a way to the moon!" laughed Blue Jay.
"You did," said Elephant.
「看吶！」小藍鳥Jay叫到。
「我們現在就在月亮上！不開玩笑！」
「我看到啦！」大象大聲喊到。
「就在水潭裡！」
「我找到去月亮的路啦！」小藍鳥Jay笑到。
「是的，你找到啦！」大象說。
"Watch me fly over the moon!" called Blue Jay.
"Watch me jump over it!" shouted Elephant.
「看著我在月亮上飛！」小藍鳥Jay叫到。
「看著我跳過月亮！」大象喊到。
Blue Jay and Elephant followed the moon from puddle to puddle,
jumping and flying all the way home.
小藍鳥Jay和大象追著月亮，經過了無數個水潭。
他們就這樣一路跳著、飛著，回到了家。
