At six-thirty Wilbur heard the banging of a pail. Lurvy was standing outside in the rain, stirring up breakfast.
六点半,威伯听到了食桶晃动的声音。鲁维正在外面的雨里给自己准备早饭呢。
"C'mon, pig!" said Lurvy.
“来吃吧,小猪!”鲁维说。
Wilbur did not budge. Lurvy dumped the slops, scraped the pail and walked away. He noticed that something was wrong with the pig.
威伯动都懒得动。鲁维把饲料倒进食槽,又刮了刮桶壁,才走开了。他注意到小猪好像有毛病了。
Wilbur didn't want food, he wanted love. He wanted a friend--someone who would play with him. He mentioned this to the goose, who was sitting quietly in a corner of the sheepfold.
威伯想要的不是食物,而是关爱。他想有一个朋友——某个能和他一起玩儿的人。他把这心思对在羊圈角落里静静坐着的母鹅讲了出来。
"Will you come over and play with me?" he asked.
“你愿意来和我一起玩儿吗?”他问。
"Sorry, sonny, sorry," said the goose. "I'm sitting-sitting on my eggs. Eight of them. Got to keep them toasty-oasty-oasty warm. I have to stay right here, I'm no flibberty-ibberty-gibbet. I do not play when there are eggs to hatch. I'm expecting goslings."
“抱歉,宝贝儿,抱歉,”母鹅说。”我正在孵我的蛋呢。他们共有八个,得时刻让他们又干-干-干又暖。因此我只好呆在这儿,不能走-走-走开。我孵蛋时不能玩儿。我盼着能早点孵出小鹅来。”
