第二次醒来时，威伯听到母鹅在她的窝里来回挪着，自顾自的傻笑。

"What time is it?" whispered Wilbur to the goose.

“几点了？”威伯低声问母鹅。

"Probably-obably-obably about half-past eleven," said the goose, "Why aren't you asleep, Wilbur?"

“可能-能-能十一点半了吧，”母鹅说。“你为什么不睡，威伯？”

"Too many things on my mind," said Wilbur.

“我脑子里的东西太多了，”威伯说。

"Well," said the goose, "that's not my trouble. I have nothing at all on my mind, but I've too many things under my behind. Have you ever tried to sleep while sitting on eight eggs?"

“唔，”母鹅说。“我没这样的麻烦。我脑子里什么东西都没有，不过我的屁股下面倒有很多东西。你试过坐在八个蛋上睡觉吗？”

"No," replied Wilbur, "I suppose it is uncomfortable. How long does it take a goose egg to hatch?"

“没有，”威伯回答。“我猜那一定很不舒服，一个鹅蛋得孵多久？”

"Approximately-oximately thirty days, all told," answered the goose. "But I cheat a little. On warm afternoons, I just pull a little straw over the eggs and go out for a walk."

“他们说大约-约要三十天，”母鹅回答。“可我有时会偷懒。在温暖的午后，我常衔来一些稻草把蛋盖上，一个人去散步。”
