《小彩猫》
作者：玛格丽特·怀兹·布朗 翻译：漪然
从前，有两只绿眼睛的小彩猫，名叫布西和胡西，他们喜欢在一起玩搅拌颜料的游戏——把一种颜色，倒进另外一种颜色。
他们有成桶成桶的颜料，想怎么搅和就怎么搅和。用这些颜料，他们可以混合出全世界所有的颜色。
每个颜料桶上都写着颜色的名字，不过，当然啦，小猫们不识字，他们只能一罐一罐地去看。
“这很简单，”布西说。
“这罐是红色的，这罐是蓝色的。”胡西说。
可他们没找到绿色颜料。“没有绿颜料！”布西和胡西嚷嚷起来，当然啦，他们都想要绿颜料，因为他们最喜欢逛的地方差不多都是绿色的呀。
猫眼一样的绿
小草一样的绿
和小溪水一样
清亮透明的绿
布西和胡西决定，一起来做点绿颜料。
布西把红色颜料和白色颜料混在一起——他搅合出来什么颜色了？不是绿色的。
这是粉色呀。
小胖猪一样的粉
小脚丫一样的粉
和宝宝鼻尖一样
玫瑰花儿般的粉
胡西把黄色颜料和红色颜料混在一起——他搅合出了橙色。
橙子树一样的橙
大蜜蜂一样的橙
和海上落日一样
慢慢沉下去的橙
小猫们玩得很开心，可绿颜料还是没做好。
于是，他们又把红色和蓝色搅合在了一起——这次搅合出什么颜色来了？也不是绿色的，这是深紫色啊。
紫罗兰一样的紫
李子果一样的紫
和傍晚时分一样
拉长了影子的紫
可还是没有绿色！就在这时……
啊，了不起的小猫！啊，好样儿的布西和胡西！
末末了，一不留神，小猫们把一罐蓝色颜料和一罐黄色颜料混在了一起，这下子，他们竟然搅合出了小草一样的盈盈绿。
树上嫩叶一样的绿
和海中小岛一样
郁郁葱葱的绿
小猫们开心极了，他们用所有这些颜色，画起了自己身边的好东西。
他们画了：
绿色的树叶
红色的浆果
紫色的花朵
粉色的樱桃
红色的桌子
黄色的椅子
黑色的大树
金色的梨子
这时候，夜晚来临了，这些色彩都渐渐消失在了黑蒙蒙的夜色中。
小猫们看不见自己的画儿了，在黑蒙蒙的夜里，他们睡着了，还做了一个梦。
这是一个美好的梦：
梦里有棵红玫瑰树，
只要你数上三个数，
眨眼白花就开满树。
一……二……
三
梦里还有只小绿猫，
和粉色小狗把舞跳，
忽然间一片灰雾飘，
小猫小狗都不见了。
一眨眼，布西和胡西醒了过来，已经是大清早了，他们从床上爬起来，跳进了一个明亮的大世界，太阳正高挂在天空。
小猫们喵喵叫着，又蹦又跳——
跳
跳
跳
他们跳得太猛了，一下子打翻了那些颜料桶，哗啦，所有的颜料都一起流了出来。
整个世界都变成五颜六色的了，你瞧，所有这些颜色，就是小彩猫们搅出来的。
THE COLOR KITTENS
Illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen
Once there were two color kitten with green eyes, Brush and Hush. They liked to mix and make colors by splashing one color into another.
They had buckets and buckets of color to splash around with. Out of there colors they would make all the colors in the world.
The buckets had the colors written on them, but, of course, the kittens couldn't read. They had to tell by the colors. “It is very easy,” said Brush.
“Red is red. Blue is blue,” said Hush.
But they had no green. “No green paint!” said Brush and Hush. And they wanted green paint, of course, because nearly every place they liked to go was green.
Green as cats' eyes
Green as grass
By streams of water
Green as glass.
So they tried to make some green paint.
Brush mixed red paint and white paint together—and what did that make? It didn't make green.
But it made pink.
Pink as pigs
Pink as toes
Pink as a rose
Or a baby's nose
Then Hush mixed yellow and red together, and it made orange.
Orange as an orange tree
Orange as a bumblebee
Orange as the setting sun
Sinking slowly in the sea.
The kittens were delighted, but it didn't make green.
Then they mixed red and blue together—and what did that make? It didn't make green. It made a deep dark purple.
Purple as violets
Purple as plums.
Purple as shadows
On late afternoons.
Still no green! And then...
O wonderful kittens! O Brush! O Hush!
At last, almost by accident, the kittens poured a bucket of blue and a bucket of yellow together, and it came to pass that they made a green as green as grass.
Green as green leaves on a tree
Green as islands in the sea
The little kittens were so happy with all the colors they had made that they began to paint everything around them.
They painted...
Green leaves
and red berries
and purple flowers
and pink cherries
Red tables
and yellow chairs
Black trees
with golden pears
And by then, it was evening and the colors began to disappear in the warm dark night.
The kittens fell asleep in the warm dark night with all their colors out of sight, and as they slept they dreamed their dream--
A wonderful dream
Of a red rose tree
That turned all white
When you counted three
One... Two...
Three
And they dreamed that
A green cat danced
With a little pink dog
Till they all disappeared in a soft gray fog.
And suddenly Brush woke up and Hush woke up. It was morning. They crawled out of bed into a big bright world. The sky was wild with sunshine.
The kittens were wild with purring and pouncing--
Pounce
Pounce
Pounce
They got so pouncy, they knocked over the buckets and all the colors ran out together.
There were all the colors in the world and the color kittens had made them.
