《The Perfect Pet》
Nell doesn't care for shopping.
"Dad!Are we finished yet?"
She sees a store that looks more fun.
Nell对购物并不感兴趣。
“爸爸，我们买完了吗？”她发现了一家看起来更好玩的店。
"Can I go in and pick a pet?"
“我可以进去选个宠物吗？”
Here 's Tess and Ted.
They're glad to help,
with pets both small and big.
这是泰思和泰迪。
他们很高兴为您服务，无论你要买的宠物是大是小。
"A dog is a lot fun."
"A pup can beg and dig."
“小狗真好玩。”
“它可以把爪子放在胸前，就像在乞讨，还能挖坑。”
Dad's not so sure.
"Dogs make a mess.And who would clean it up?"
Nell begs and pleads,
but Dad won't budge.
爸爸不是很确定。
“狗狗会把家里弄得一团糟。到时候谁来打扫呢？”
Nell使劲儿恳求爸爸，但是爸爸还是不答应。
"No,Nell,not a pup."
“不，Nell，不能养小狗。”
"Well,how about a snake?"says Ted.
"Sid's very friendly,miss."
Sid ties himself around Dad's neck.
“那，养条蛇怎么样？”泰迪说。
“斯德非常友好，小姐。”
斯德把自己的身体绕在爸爸的脖子上。
"Pat him. Let him hiss"
拍拍它，它会发出嘶嘶的声音。
A parrot snatches at Dad's cap,
And perches on a rack.
"No need to worry,sir,"says Tess.
一只鹦鹉抢走了爸爸的遮阳帽，然后落在一个货架上。
“先生，不用担心，”泰思说。
Ted can get it back.
“泰迪可以把它拿回来。”
Dad helps Ted chase the parrot.
They just can't jump high enough.
Ted tries to catch it in a net.
爸爸帮助泰迪去追那只鹦鹉。
他们就是没办法跳得更高一些了。
泰迪想用一只网去抓住鹦鹉。
Dad and Ted huff and huff.
爸爸跟泰迪累的气喘吁吁。
Nell sees a bat hang upside down.
It looks so very still,
Dad thinks there's something wrong with it.
Nell看见一只蝙蝠倒挂在笼子里。
它一动也不动，爸爸觉得这只蝙蝠不对劲。
“Tess, tell us, is it ill?”
“泰思，告诉我们，它是不是生病了？”
"He's only sleeping, sir," says Tess.
"Bats do a lot of that."
"I think he's really cute," says Nell.
“先生，它只是在睡觉。”泰思说。
“蝙蝠经常这么做。”
“我觉得它非常可爱，”Nell说
“Dad, can I get a bat?”
“爸爸，我可以买一只蝙蝠吗？”
Nell counts out her money, but ---
"That's not enough," says Tess.
Then Ted finds something cheaper.
"Look!"
Nell数了数她的零钱，但是---
“不够哦，”泰丝说。
接着，泰迪找到了有个更便宜的宠物。
“看！”
“A bug on a log is less.'
“一只昆虫趴在原木上。”
"Is this the pet you want?" asks Dad.
Nell nods and smiles, "You bet!
That was the greatest shopping trip."
“这是你想要的宠物吗？”爸爸问。
Nell点点头笑着说，
“当然！今天真是最棒的购物之旅。”
"I had fun, and I got a pet."
“我非常开心，而且我买到了一只宠物。”
