青翠树篱
  宽阔门庭
寻寻觅觅
  小心踏入
迷宫小径
  一路前行
转身向右
  不能通过
看似向左
  却又是右
走到中心
  大好风景！
待到返回
  来路难寻
顺着足印
  或见幽径
雾里看花
前途未定
迷宫好入
  却不好出！

“我知道，这是挺窝囊的。”守园人帕西对他的小朋友说道。他正在照顾的是一只小松鼠，这小家伙从树上掉下来，摔伤了自己的胳膊。
“这个星期四，我还摔破了鼻子呢。”松鼠继续抱怨着。
“嗯嗯，我明白的。”帕西回答。他并没有完全注意到松鼠在说什么。
因为他正在忙着找东西。

05
“啊哈！找到了。”帕西高兴地嚷嚷，“绳子，今天可要派大用场的。”
帕西带着松鼠，推着小车穿过公园，完全没有注意到躲在一棵大树后面的伙伴们。
“我好长时间都没顾上去修那个老迷宫了，”帕西说，“那儿的树篱肯定都长疯了。”

06

07
“帕西要去迷宫那儿干活。”狐狸悄声说。
“我们跟他一起去吧，在那儿好好玩一玩！”獾说着，兴奋地对小动物们嘀咕了几句什么。

08
大家一边听着，一边开心地咯咯笑起来，可是刺猬有点犹豫不决，迷宫总是让他觉得很头大。
“我想我还是不去了……”他支支吾吾地说，“我……呃……我家里还有点事。”

09
已关闭（门口吊牌上的字）
入此园有惊喜（门口雕像下的字）

10
帕西把他的手推车停在了迷宫入口。
“你就不怕在迷宫里面迷路吗？”松鼠问。
“这就是带绳子的妙处啦，”帕西说，“我会把一条绳子从迷宫入口拖到我工作的地方，这样一来，我就不会迷路了，你懂了吗？”
松鼠还是不大懂的样子，因为它压根儿没认真听帕西在说什么。
“春天和秋天，哪个更可爱一点呢，我真有点晕。”松鼠自言自语。

11
在迷宫的后方，有一队动物正在一个挨一个地穿过厚厚的树篱，把自己藏起来。
“我们呀，要到迷宫中心去，等着帕西来。”獾小声地叮嘱。
“然后我们就一下窜出去，吓他一大跳。”小兔子们咯咯发笑。
“嘘！”狐狸发出了警告，可大家看到它这样子，反倒笑得更来劲了。

12
帕西拿着修枝剪干得正欢，迷宫一点一点地被收拾得整整齐齐。干活的时候，帕西一直都是跟着绳子的标记，在迷宫里走来走去。

13
这时候，送惊喜小队已经一路走到了迷宫的正中央，那儿有一个石头长凳，长凳雕刻成了一头狮子的模样。
小动物们起先都眼巴巴地等着帕西走过来，可帕西比他们想象的要磨蹭得多，过了一会儿，小家伙们就开始打起了哈欠，后来就全都沉沉地睡着了。

14

15
帕西拿着修枝剪咔嚓咔嚓地继续忙着，只是在用手推车搬运树枝的时候，才偶尔停下来一会儿。

16
帕西推着空车回到迷宫，一只刺猬把他叫住了。
“帕西，你好呀，迷宫里的动物们是不是给了你一个大惊喜呀？”
“大惊喜？”帕西停下脚步，傻笑着，“呃……好像还没有。”

17
终于，帕西和松鼠一路忙碌着来到了迷宫的中心，可那儿的景象已经不算是什么大惊喜了。
帕西瞧着眼前睡得香香的小家伙们，不由得暗暗发笑。“让我们自娱自乐吧。”他小声嘀咕着。
帕西踮着脚，走到狮子形状的长凳后面，然后故意大声地干咳了几下。
“啊咳！对不住了。”帕西发出了一个低沉的怒吼声。
狐狸睁开了一只眼睛。

18

19
“我不是个小气鬼，”帕西继续装着狮子吼，“可我真不喜欢有些家伙连个招呼都不打，就躺在我的身上。”
其他的动物们也都纷纷醒了过来。
狐狸傻瞪着狮子的脑袋，简直不敢相信自己的耳朵了。

20
“真对不起啊，”狐狸嘟囔着，“我们没搞清楚，我们还以为您只是一个板凳呢……”睁开眼睛的动物们吃惊地发现，狐狸正在和一块石头说话，而等到石头里传来回答的时候，他们更是吃惊得连下巴都要掉了。
“哦，原来如此？”那个低吼声嗡嗡响着，“嗯……”

21
“真是太对不起了，”狐狸说，“能请问一下您的尊姓大名吗？”
帕西低吼着：“我的大名是……”
可就在这时，一只兔子往长凳后面瞄了一眼。
“他的大名是帕西！”小兔子大叫了起来。
游戏就这么结束了，抿嘴偷着乐的帕西从长凳后面钻了出来。
“这下倒变成帕西给了我们一个惊喜！”獾咕哝道。
狐狸忽然咯咯咯地笑出了声，大伙儿看到它这样子，都不由得跟着大笑起来。

22

23
“来吧，”帕西一边收拾工具一边说，“大家想不想在喝下午茶的时候尝尝刚烤好的小甜饼？我来带你们走出迷宫，只要跟着我的绳……”

24
可帕西的话音还没落，就看到了站在自己面前的助手，那只小松鼠。它正举着一个大线团。
“别忘了这个，帕西，”松鼠提醒道，“我已经帮你把所有的线都给绕好了。”
帕西彻底崩溃了。

25
“别担心，”狐狸安慰大家，“我想这条路可以走出去的。”
“不对，不对，”獾不同意，“我肯定那条才是出去的路。”
“是这条路才对吧。”又一个声音嚷起来。“呃，也许我又错了……”松鼠扯着线团小声说。
“我就知道，会是这个样子，”帕西闷哼了一声，“我还知道，我们要到明天早饭的时候才能吃上小甜饼！”

26
帕西应该选哪条路呢？你能找到可以走出迷宫的那条路吗？

The secret path

The secret path

In leafy green hedges,
The doorway was wide.
You looked and you wondered
and then stepped inside.
The puzzling pathways
took you along.
A turn to the right
turn to be wrong.
But when all that seemed left
turned out to be right,
You entered the center,
a wonderful sight!
But now comes the hard part,
to find the right track,
To retrace your steps;
the secret path back.
The maze is a trickster,
of that there is no doubt.
The maze let you in,
but it won't let you out!

"i know. It's a shame," said percy the park keeper to his small friend.
Percy had been looking after a young squirrel who had fallen out of a tree and hurt his arm.
"and i bumped my nose on Thursday," went on the squirrel.
"Mmm, i see," said percy, who was not really giving the squirrel his full attentioon.
Percy was busy searching for something.

"Aha! Here it is," said percy. "string. We'll need this today."
As percy and the squirrel trundled their way across the park, they didn't notice a group of friends hiding behind a large tree.
"i've been meaning to fix up the old maze for ages," said percy. "the hedges are terribly overgrown."

"percy's is going to work on the maze," said the fox.
"let's race him there and have some fun!" said the badger, and he began to whisper excitedly.

The others squeaked with delight as they listened. Only the hedgehog wasn't so sure. He found the maze rather confusing.
"i don't think i'll come," he said. "i've ... Er ... Got something to do."

Percy parked his wheelbarrow by the entrance to the maze.
"aren't you worried about getting lost in the maze?" the squirrel asked.
"that's why i need the string," said percy. "i leave a trail of string from where i'm working back to the entrance of the maze. That way, i can't get lost, you see?"
The squirrel didn't really see because he wasn't really listening..
"i'm not sure if i like spring or autumn the best," he said.

At the back of the maze, a line of animals was disappearing one by one into the thick hedge.
"we'll go right to the middle and wait for percy," whispered the badger.
"then we'll jump out and and give him a big surprise," giggled the rabbits.
"ssshh!" said the fox loudly, which set them all giggleing again.

Percy worked hard with hedge clippers and little by little the maze began to look much tidier. All the time, percy followed his string in and out of the maze.

By now, the surprise party had made its way to the centre of the maze, where there stood a stone bench. The bench had been carved to look like a lion.
At first the animals waited eagerly for percy to come. But percy took longer than they expected. Soon, they began to yawn. Then they fell asleep.

Percy's hedge clippers clacked on and on, only stopping now and then when percy went to dump a barrow load of clippings.

As percy pushed his empty wheelbarrow back towards the maze, a hedgehog called to him.
"hello percy. Did you get a big surprise from the animals in the maze?"
"a big surprise?" percy stopped and smiled.
"er ... Not yet," he said.

When at last percy and the squirrel worked their way to the centre of the maze, there was no big surprise waiting for them.
Percy chuckled at the sight of the sleeping animals in front of him.
"let's have some fun ourselves," he whispered.
Percy tiptoed to the back of the lion-shaped bench and coughed loudly.
"ahem. I beg your pardon," said percy in a deep, growly voice.
The fox opened one eye.

"it's not that i mind so very much," went on percy, "but i do like people to ask before they go to sleep on me."
The other animals began to stir.
The fox stared at the lion's head. He couldn't believe his ears.

"i'm very sorry," said the fox. "we didn't realise. We thought you were just a seat." the other animals opened their eyes in amazement to hear the fox talking to a lump o stone. They were even more amazed when the stone answered back.
"did you indeed?" said the growly voice."Hmm."

'we are very sorry," said the fox. "will you tell us your name?"
Percy growled. "my name is ..."
But at that moment, one of the rabbits looked behind hte bench.
"his name is percy!" cried the rabbit.
The game was up and a chuckling percy came out from behind the bench.
"percy's tricked us, instead!" said the badger.
The fox suddenly started to giggle. That set everybody else giggling again.

"Come on," said percy, as he collected his tools together, "who'd like toasted teacakes for tea? I'll show you the way out of the maze.
All we have to do is to follow my str..."

But percy didn't finish. Standing there in front of him, was his little squirrel helper. Th squirrel was holding a larger ball of string.
"don't forget this, percy," he said. "i've wound it all up for you."
Percy looked dismayed.

"don't worry," said the fox, "i think this is the way out." "no, no," said the badger. "i'm sure it's this way."
"surely it's this way," said another voice.
"i might be wrong," said the squirrel holding the ball of string, "but i've got a feeling it's this way."  Percy groaned. " and i've got a feeling we'll be having toasted teacakes for breakfast!"

Which path should percy take? Can you find the secret way out of the maze?

03
“早上好！”守园人帕西从他的小屋里走出来，手里拿着一些刚刚写好的海报。他抽出一张，把它钉在了自己的门上。
“那上面写的是啥？”帕西的兔子朋友好奇地问道。
“哦，不好意思，”帕西说着就大声地念了起来……

寻宝探险召集令
所有想参加寻宝的朋友请在明天早饭后到公园凉亭集合。
帕西（我）写

“我想去。”獾立刻报名。
“还有我，”狐狸说，“可是，什么是寻宝探险呀？”

04

05
“是个游戏，”帕西解释道，“有个人走在前头，他会留下一些线索给后面的玩家，让他们跟上，这些线索是一些字符，会一个接着一个地告诉你怎么做，直到最后找出宝藏。”

06
“我认识的字可不多。”狐狸说着，和其他的动物们一起去瞅帕西写的另外一张海报。看到他们把海报拿反了的样子，帕西不由地笑了。
“我会用画画代替写字的。”

07

08
第二天一早，动物们准时碰头了，可帕西却踪影全无。大家正在猜想他是不是把这事儿给忘了，这时，一只小松鼠忽然发现了什么。
“瞧！那是一张画了画儿的纸，那个可能就是线索吧。”
松鼠猜对了，那张纸上，帕西画了一副跷跷板.
“这肯定是我们要去的第一站了。”獾说道。

09
动物们匆匆赶到了游乐场，果然，另一幅图画已经被钉在了跷跷板上面。
“我可以拿到的。”一只小耗子说，它三蹦两跳地就登上了跷跷板.

10
这一次，帕西在纸上画了一座雕像。
“我知道这是哪儿，”兔子叫着，“跟我来！”大家立刻紧跟着它蜂拥而去。

11

12
这时，帕西已经快要把线索全部放到位了，他沿着自己最喜欢的小道走在公园边上，一路吹着口哨。
“只剩下两站啦，”帕西说着，把手里的纸片塞到了一个路标的裂缝里。
他在那里歇了一小会儿，望着公园前方的田野出神。

13
帕西摸摸口袋，高兴地摸到了一些巧克力——用金纸包着的金币巧克力。
“幸好我带了吃的，”帕西自言自语，“我的肚子都咕咕叫了。”
于是，他一块接着一块地吃光了所有的巧克力。

14
后来，帕西才明白自己干了什么蠢事——他吃光了动物们正在寻找的宝藏。

15
动物们倒玩得特别开心，帕西留下的线索带着他们几乎跑遍了整个公园。
跷跷板，雕像，工具棚，小桥……在每个地点，他们都能找到一幅新图画，让他们知道下一站在哪儿。

16
可是，当他们来到公园边上，绕着一个路标寻找线索的时候，却被难住了。
“真讨厌，”獾抱怨着，“哪儿都找不到一个线索嘛。”

17

18
狐狸看着路标上的字，认定这些字和线索有关系。
“真奇怪……”狐狸自言自语地嘟囔着。
突然，狐狸大声嚷嚷起来：“我知道了，线索就是这个路标，我们得跟着路标的指示走！”
“可是，这个路标是指向公园外面的啊，”刺猬反对道。
可它反对得太迟了，狐狸已经窜了出去，其他的动物们你看看我，我看看你，最后也都跟着狐狸跑出去了。

19
狐狸领着大家穿过田野，在这片土地中央，高高地耸立着一棵被雷电劈过的大树。

20
离大树不远的地方，有一个牲口棚，里面晃动着一些身影。
“好像是帕西在里面，”狐狸说，“他肯定是在埋宝藏呢！”
动物们一哄而上，围住了牲口棚。
那里面没有帕西，可有另外一个家伙，那家伙还叫了一声……

21
哞～～

22
原来是一头小牛。
“哞！”小牛又大叫了一声。
动物们惊叫着跑向田野中的大树，小牛在他们身后紧追不舍——它很想和大家一起玩。

23

24
动物们用最快的速度爬上了树，他们可一点儿也不喜欢玩这种游戏。
“现在我们咋办？”刺猬拖着哭腔问。
立刻有一个回答声响起，这个说话的人已经在旁边偷看了好一会儿了。

25
“你们在那上面可是什么线索也找不到的，”帕西咯咯笑着说，“你们干吗不爬下来，见一下露西小朋友？”

26
小牛露西看上去确实很友好。
动物们把心放回了肚子里，爬下了树，他们和小牛彬彬有礼地打了招呼，后来，小牛还同意让他们骑着，穿过田野回公园去。
大家在牛背上晃晃悠悠，一路上有说有笑。
“虽然没找到宝藏，”狐狸感叹着，“可我们找到了一个朋友。”
帕西干咳了起来，赶紧拿手帕擦了擦嘴角。
“你们不觉得朋友要比宝藏更可爱么？”帕西问。

27

28
“呃，”刺猬想了想说道，“我觉得，朋友和宝藏都是一样的可爱。”
帕西笑了。
“我觉得，你说得一点没错！”

29
帕西并不知道，他绕着公园走的时候，丢了三块金币巧克力。你能帮他找出来吗？

The treasure hunt

The treasure hunt

"Good morning!" said percy the park keeper as he stepped out of his hut. In his hand, percy was holding some posters which he had just made. He pinned one of them to his door.
"what does it say?" asked one of percy's rabbit friends.
"oh, i'm sorry," said percy, and he read out loud ...
i'm organizing a
Treasure Hunt
All those who would like to come meet at the bandstand after breakfast, tomorrow morning.
Signed Percy (ME).
"i wanted to come," said the badger.
"so do i," said the fox. "what is it?"

"it's a game," said percy. "one person goes off and leaves a trail of clues for the others to follow. The clues are messages, and one clue leads to the next one until you find the treasure at the end."

"i can read a bit," said the fox. He and other animals stared at another of percy's posters. Percy smiled as he noticed they were holding it upside down.
"i'll do drawings instead of messages," he said.

Next morning, when the animals met together, there was no sign of percy. They thought that percy must have forgotten, until one of the squirrels noticed something.
"look! There is a piece of paper with a picture on it. It could be a clue."
The squirrel was right. On the paper, percy had drawn a picture of see-saw.
"that must be where we have to go first," said the badger.

They hurried over to the playground. Sure enough, another piece of paper had been pinned to the see-saw.
"i'll get it," said one of the mice and he scampered up the the see-saw.

This time percy had drawn a picture of statue.
"i know where that is," said a rabbit. "follow me!" and off they went again.

By now, percy had put nearly all his pieces of paper in place. He whistled as he walked along a favourite path at the edge of the park.
"Only two left," said percy as he tucked one of his clues into a crack in signpost.
He stopped for a moment and gazed over the fields which lay beyond the park.

Percy reached into his pocket and was pleased to find some chocolate. It was chocolate money, wrapped in gold paper.
"a good job i brought a snack," said percy, "i'm feeling quite peckish."
Slowly he ate every piece of the chocolate.
Then percy realised what he had done. He had eaten the treasure.

The animals were having great fun. Percy's trail of clues led them all over the park.
The see-saw, the statue, the tool shed. The bridge. In every place they found a picture showing them the where to go next.

But now, as they searched for a clue around a signpost at the edge of the park, it didn't seem quite so easy.
"bother," said the badger. "i can't see a clue anywhere."

The fox kept looking at the letters on the signpost. He was sure they were trying to tell him something.
"i wonder ..." he muttered to himself.
Suddenly the fox announced, "this signpost is the next clue. We have to follow it."
"but it leads out of the park," said the hedgehog.
It was too late. The fox had already set off. The others looked at each other,, then they followed after him.

The fox led them across the field. In the middle, there stood a tall tree which had been struck by lightning.

Further on, there was a cattle shelter. Something was moving behind it.
"it looks like percy," said the fox. "that must be where he's putting the treasure."
The animals rushed towards the cattle shelter.
It wasn't percy, but there was something there, and the something said ...

"MOOOO!"

It was a young calf.
"Mmmoo!" said the calf loudly again.
The animals squealed and ran in fright towards the tree in the middle of the field.
The calf chased after them. She wanted to play.

The animals scrambled up the tree as fast as they could. They didn't like this game at all.
"what do we do now?"
Wailed the hedgehog.
He was answered by someone who had been watching it all.

"you won't find any clues up there," chuckled percy. "why don't you come down and meet Lucy?"

Lucy the calf was very friendly. When the animals had calmed down and been properly introduced, she gave them a ride across the field to the park fence.
Everyone chattered happily when they bumped along.
"we didn't find the treasure," said the fox, "but we found a friend."
Percy coughed and wiped the corner of his mouth with his handkerchief.
"and don't you think friends are better than treasure?" he said.

"well," said the hedgehog, "i think they are the same."
Percy smiled.
"i think you are right," he said.

Percy doesn't know he dropped three pieces of his treasure on his way around the park.
Can you find them?

爱心满园之
风雨后

02（空白）

03
守园人帕西怎么也睡不着。
在他的小屋外面，一场狂风暴雨正呼啸而来，电闪雷鸣中，雨如倾盆。
帕西并不怕打雷，他还挺喜欢看闪电把整个公园照得一片雪亮，他甚至也不在乎那么大的雨。可有一样东西让他很头大。

04
让帕西头大的那样东西，就是风。大风会吹翻公园的篱笆，吹断树枝，这可真叫他一点儿也喜欢不起来。
“哦，天哪！”帕西望着窗外，倒吸了一口凉气。大风已经席卷了树丛，把树枝吹得东倒西歪。“看起来，我明天又得忙了。”
帕西用枕头捂住了脑袋，尽量让自己昏睡了过去。

05

06
第二天，风雨后的天空清澈一片。帕西很早就起床了，他用手推车装着自己所有的修理工具上了路，去检查受到破坏的公园。

07
他深深呼吸着雨后清新的空气，感觉很是开心。也许，暴风雨也没造成很大的破坏吧。

08
可他猜错了。可怕的事情还是发生了——过去生长在一个小山丘顶上的老橡树，已经被昨天的风暴连根拔起。帕西一直最喜欢这棵大树了，现在看到它树枝歪歪，树根翘翘地躺在那里，心里真是好不凄凉。
可这棵树不但是帕西的心头宝，也是帕西的动物朋友住的房子啊！现在他们的家园就这么全毁了么？帕西不禁加快了跑向老橡树的脚步。

09

10
动物们正在树旁呆站着，看上去又懊恼又沮丧。他们一见到帕西，就立刻叽叽喳喳地诉起苦来。

11
帕西坐在朋友们中间，耐心地听着他们把暴风雨怎么掀倒了大树的事絮叨了一遍。
“现在我们可是无家可归啦，”獾抱怨着，“我们过去是住在树上树下的老邻居，现在成了没地方住的老叫化子了。”
兔子们都快要哭出来了，狐狸却早就开始大声地抽泣。帕西把手帕递了过去，给狐狸好好地揩了一把鼻涕。

12
然后，帕西站起身来。
“我们现在要做的，就是给大家找个新住处，”他宣布道，“来吧，伙计们，跳到我的车上来。”有帕西带队，动物们立刻感到心情好多了。
他们的第一站去了老松林，可谁也不爱住在那里。
“太黑啦。”小耗子尖叫道。
“太阴冷。”刺猬也哼哼着。
于是，帕西又带他们去了灌木林，可这个地方也是谁都不想住。
“没有大树。”松鼠抱怨着。
“没有树洞。”兔子们也牢骚满腹。
“没关系，”帕西安慰大家，“我们再到河边去看看。”

13

14
帕西推着沉重的手推车，想从一座小桥上过河去。可就在他走到桥中央的时候，意外发生了。

15
帕西一跤跌倒，而手推车就像是打算看看自己能不能变成一条小船，“哗啦！”一下，冲向了河里。

16
转眼之间，帕西和朋友们就在漂漂荡荡中，被河水带到了一个小湖泊里。
帕西站起来，环顾四周。
“我们只能划回岸边去了。”他正这么说着，却忽然看见了什么。
“等一下，”帕西说，“我们还是划到湖的对岸去吧，我有了个想法。”
朋友们疑惑地看着他，帕西到底想干吗？可大家还是齐心合力把手推车慢慢划到了湖的另一边。

17

18
“我们到了！”帕西欢呼着。松鼠跳上岸，把手推车系在湖边的一棵空心树下。
“我的计划是这样的，”帕西细说起来，大家围成了一圈听着他的计划。
“各位，都知道怎么做啦？”动物们一起点头。“那就开工吧！”

19

20
大家一起动手，从手推车上搬出了帕西的工具和一些厚木板。然后，帕西开始详细讲解现在需要大伙儿做什么。
他教獾学会了怎么用锯子，教松鼠学会了怎么用钉锤；他还让狐狸钻孔，兔子拧螺丝钉。小耗子们就忙里忙外地给大家做搬运工。
吃午饭的时候，他们休息了一小会儿，吃了几块帕西带来的奶油花生三明治，然后就接着忙活起来。

21

22
又忙了半天，他们终于完工了。帕西退后几步，带着有些疲惫的微笑欣赏着动物们的杰作。
现在，松鼠们有了一个带阳台的新家。
小耗子们住上了楼房。
兔子们有了新的地下室。

23
獾有了一个新门廊。
狐狸在欣赏自己的新窗台。
刺猬的窗台也不赖……
实际上，帕西所有的好朋友都住上了漂亮的新房子。

24
“干得好，伙计们！”帕西赞不绝口，“我还没见过这么棒的大树屋呢！”
“那你呢，帕西？”獾招着手说，“你不想和我们住一块儿吗？”
帕西露出一个微笑。
“我还是呆在我的老房子里好了。再说我还有个事儿要做呢，”他说着，从衣兜里掏出一个橡树果来，“我也得帮它回小山丘上找个新家！”

After the Storm

After the storm

Percy the park keeper couldn't sleep.
Outside his hut a great storm was raging, with thunder and lightning and pouring rain.
Percy wasn't frightened by the thunder and he loved to watch the lightning as it lit up the whole park. He didn't even mind the rain.
But there was one thing that Percy didn't like.

He didn't like the wind. It blew down fences in the park and ripped branches off the trees. He didn't like it one bit.
"Oh dear," he sighed as he watched from his window. The wind tugged at the trees, making them creak and groan. "It looks like I'm going to be busy tomorrow."
He pulled his pillow over his head and tried to get to sleep.

Percy was up early in the morning. The wind had stopped and the sky was clear.
Percy loaded up his wheelbarrow with all the things he would need to make repairs and clear up after the storm. Then he set off to inspect the damage.

He felt happy as he took deep breaths of the fresh, clean air. Perhaps the damage wouldn't be too bad.

But he was wrong. Something dreadful had happened. A great big oak tree that had stood by itself on top of a little hill had been blown over by the storm.
The giant tree had been one of Percy's favourites. Now it looked very sad lying on its side with its mass of tangly roots sticking up into the air.
But it wasn't just one of Percy's favourite trees; some of Percy's animal friends lived there. Now their homes were wrecked. Percy hurried up to the fallen tree.

The animals were gathered by the tree looking cross and unhappy. When they saw Percy everyone started talking at once.

Percy sat down with his friends and listened as they told how the storm had brought down the great tree.
"and now we had nowhere to live," said the badger. "Some of us lived in the tree and some of us lived under it. But we are all homeless now."
Some of the rabbits looked close to tears and the fox was very sniffy. Percy passed him his handkerchief and the fox blew his nose.

Percy stood up.
"We will just have to find you somewhere else to live," he said. "come on everybody. Jump into my wheelbarrow." the animals felt better now that Percy was with them.
First he took them to the pine wood. But nobody wanted to live there.
"too dark," squeaked the mice.
"too gloomy," said the hedgehog.
So percy took them to the shrubbery. But nobody wanted to live in the shrubbery either.
"No big trees," complained the squirrels.
"No big roots," moaned the rabbits.
"Never mind," said Percy. "We will try across the stream."

Percy began to push the heavy wheelbarrow over a little bridge that crossed the stream. But as he got to the middle of the bridge, two things happened.

Percy stumbled and the wheelbarrow decided to see what it would be like to be a boat. SP-LASH!

Suddenly Percy and his friends found themselves drifting downstream to where the stream opened out into a lake.
Percy stood up and looked around.
"we will have to paddle back to the shore," he said. But then something caught  his eye.
"No wait," said Percy. "Let's paddle across to the other side of the lake. I have an idea."
The animals looked puzzled. What was percy up to? Slowly they paddled the wheelbarrow accross the lake.

"here we are!" said Percy. The squirrels jumped ashore and tied up the wheelbarrow to the roots of an enormous hollow tree that grew by the water's edge.
"Now this is my plan," said Percy. Everyone gathered round as Percy explained his idea.
"is everybody clear?" everyone nodded. "then let's get to work!"

They began by unloading all Percy's tools and the planks of wood from the wheelbarrow. Then Percy explained exactly what he wanted each one to do.
He showed the badger how to use a saw and he showed the squirrel how to knock in nails. The fox drill holes and the rabbit screwed in screws. The mice were kept busy fetching and carrying for everyone else.
At lunchtime they took a short break to share some of percy's peanut butter sandwiches. Then they got busy again.

At long last their work was finished. A very tired Percy stood back to admire their handiwork.
Now the squirrels had a brand new home ... And so did the mice.
The rabbits had new home ...

And so did the badger. And the fox. And the hedgehog. In fact, every one of Percy's friends had a fine new place to live.

"well done everybody!" said percy. "this is the best tree house i've ever seen!" "what about you percy?" called the badger. "aren't you going to join us?" percy smiled. "i think i'll stick to my old hut," he said. "besides," said percy, taking an acorn out of his pocket, "i still have one job left to do back at the little hill!"

03
守园人帕西正在埋头干活。
邦！邦！邦！邦！吱嘎，吱嘎，吱嘎，嘭嘭，啪嗒，嘭，邦！邦！邦！啊哟！
整整三天了，帕西的工棚里不断地传来奇怪的声音。他到底在做什么呢？帕西的朋友——那些住在公园里的小动物们，只能在外面乱猜一气。
“我觉得啊，他是在做一个鸟食台，”松鼠说道。
“没准是在做公园里的长凳？”兔子猜测。
“那东西也许是……”可谁也没听清刺猬说的“那东西”是什么东西。

04

05
就在这时，传来了一阵机器的轰鸣声。工棚的大门哗地一下打开了，在隆隆的机器噪声里，大家听到了帕西的大嗓门。

06
“让开！让开！”
伴随着一阵乒乒乓乓的巨大响声，和一股浓浓的黑烟，帕西驾着一辆奇怪的机车出现在了工棚门口。
帕西按下一个按钮，发动机就呼呼地喘着气，停了下来。
“来呀，”帕西招呼大家说，“给我点意见吧。”
“我有一肚子的意见，”狐狸答道，“我的意见就是——这个是啥？”

07

08
“这个是我最新制造的割草机，”帕西说着，拍了拍他的座骑，“我有好长时间没有修剪草坪了，因为我的老割草机实在慢得让人受不了，可现在有了这个，我就能绕着公园做草上飞了。”
“这个真的能飞起来吗？”刺猬问。
“割草机是不用飞的，”帕西咯咯笑着回答，“顶上的那个螺旋桨，只是在割草的时候帮我扇风的。”
帕西转动了一下开关，发动机重又精神抖擞地响了起来。
“来吧，让我们兜一圈试试，乘客们上车啦！”

09
大家都在割草机上坐好了，机器突突突地驶过了草地。
“很管用！”帕西看着割草机后面留下的一条平整的草皮，高兴地叫了起来。“我们再来试试加速吧。”

10
帕西把一个手柄往前推了一下，可接下来发生的事情却让大家都惊呆了。

11
在发动机的嗡嗡声中，螺旋桨越转越快……忽然，帕西的割草机出人意料地直升到了空中。
“真的飞起来了！”刺猬兴奋地尖叫着，“你太厉害了，帕西！”
“呃，得啦，我可不觉得有什么厉害……”帕西一边使劲想控制住乱转的机器，一边嘟囔着。他现在真有点后悔自己想出了这么个安装螺旋桨的馊主意。

12

13
飞在天上的割草机一开始好像是在到处乱窜，可过了一会儿，帕西发现，如果推拉手柄的力道合适，他就可以控制住割草机，让它飞往自己想去的方向。
而对动物们来说，这个飞行游戏可真是太刺激了，除了鸭子和猫头鹰，其他小动物这一辈子还没到这么高的地方玩过呢。

14
忽然，獾大叫了起来∶“前面有树，帕西！”
“哦，啊，谢谢……”帕西说着，用力拉动手柄，很险地和一棵大树擦顶而过，飞过时还割下了几片树叶。

15
就在割草机向着天空不断升高的时候，动物们惊讶地发现了地面上的奇妙一幕。

16
“瞧那些绵羊，”兔子说，“它们聚在一起的形状就像一只大手，我觉得它们是在对我们招手问好呢。”

17
“不会吧，”帕西说，“我觉得它们不可能注意到我们的。”

18
“可我觉得它们已经注意了，”兔子嚷嚷着，“你瞧！”
地上的绵羊们刚刚又组成了一张脸——看上去就像大家都很熟悉的一个老朋友。
大家都冲绵羊挥起手来。
帕西心想，要是他能下去和这些羊一起玩玩就好了。
可他没想到，自己心想事成的速度会有那么快。

19

20
也不知是螺旋桨在高空有点晕机，还是它已经对不停转圈烦透了，总之，没有谁知道原因，它就这么忽然停了下来，几乎就在同一时间，发动机也不响了。

21
“现在感觉好多了，”狐狸说，“又安静，又舒坦。”
“是够安静的，”帕西答道，“可一点也不舒坦，我们正在往下掉！”
割草机在飕飕地下坠，全体乘客也在飕飕地下坠。
“真遗憾，你没长翅膀。”猫头鹰叹息道。
“我也很遗憾！”帕西大叫着，一头栽了下去。

22

23
绵羊们看起来很慌乱，它们在田野里跑来跑去。
“快闪开！”帕西大声嚷嚷。可绵羊们并没有闪开，恰恰相反，它们一拥而上，挤到了正在坠落的帕西和动物们的下方。
这时，帕西才明白了绵羊们打算做什么。
24
只见一块软软的、弹性十足的羊毛垫子覆盖了原来硬邦邦的地面。獾是第一个被接住的，紧接着，每个落地的动物也都被绵羊们用后背接住了，还被软软的羊毛给弹了起来。

25
就连帕西——他们中间块头最大的一位，也被弹起来三次，才安全着地。

26

27
大家激动万分地向绵羊道了一声谢。
绵羊们呵呵笑着说，它们很高兴帮上了点忙，只可惜没能把帕西的割草机也救下来。
帕西瞅了瞅被挂在一棵大树上的割草机。“我可再也不想用那玩意儿了。”
“那你想怎么办呢？”刺猬问道，“公园里的草坪都还没修剪啊。”
帕西叹了一口气，挠着头想啊想，忽然，他的脸上露出了一个微笑。
“呃……绵羊伙计们，”帕西说，“你们想不想去一个新地方玩玩呀？那儿有好多好多又可爱又可口的青草哦……”

Percy's bumpy ride

Percy's bumpy ride

Percy the park keeper was hard at work.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Squeak, squeak, squeak. Tap, tap, tapity-tap. Bang! Bang! Bang! Ouch!
For three whole days, sounds like these had been coming from percy's workshop. What was he doing? Percy's friends, the animals who lived in the park, could only guess.
"i think he's making a bird table," said a squirrel.
"it could be a park bench," said a rabbit.
"it might be a ... " but nobody heard what the hedgehog thought it might be.
At that moment, there came the roar of an engine. The workshop doors burst open and above the noise of the engine, they heard percy's voice.

"make way! Make way!"
With a great clanking sound and a lot of smoke, percy emerged from the workshop sitting on top of a very strange machine.
Percy pushed a switch and the engine coughed and spluttered into silence.
"well," said percy, "what do you think?"
"i know what i think," said the fox.
"i think, what is it?"

"this is my new lawn mower," said percy, patting the machine.. "i have got terribly behind with cutting the grass. My old mower is so slow. But with this, i'll just fly around the park."
"will it really fly?" asked a hedgehog.
"it's a lawn mower," chuckled percy. "the propeller on top is to fan me with cool air while i'm mowing."
Percy turned a key and the engine clanked into life again.
"come on," he said. "let's try it out. All abroad."

With everyone sitting on the new mower, percy began to chug across the grass.
"it works!" shouted percy as he admired the stripe of closely cut grass behind the mower. "let's try it a bit faster."

Percy pushed a lever. But what happened next took everyone by surprise.

The engine roared and the propeller whirled faster and faster. Then, to everyone's astonishment, percy's mower began to lift into the air.
"it does fly!" squealed the hedgehog.
"you are so clever, percy!"
"er, well, i wouldn't say that,," said percy as he struggled with the mower's controls. He was beginning to think that the propeller was not such a good idea.

At first, the flying mower seemed to be deciding all by itself where to go.
But after a while, percy found that by pushing and pulling lever he could make the mower go where he wanted.
For the animals it was very exciting. Only the ducks and the owl had ever been this high up in the air before.

Suddenly the badger called out.
"tree ahead, percy!"
"oh, er, thank you," said percy.
He pulled hard on a lever and just managed to swoop over the tall tree, mowing some leaves as he passed.

As the mower climbed high into the sky, the animals were amazed by what they could see below them.

"Look at those sheep, " said on the the rabbits.
"they've made a shape like a hand. I think they are waving to us."

"i doubt it," said percy, "i shouldn't think they've even noticed us."

"i think they have noticed us," said the rabbit. "look!" the sheep had now arranged themselves into the shape of a face.
It looked very like a face they all knew.
Everyone waved to the sheep.
Percy wish he could join them.
He didn't realise how quickly his wish would be granted.

Whether the spinning propeller on top of the mower had begun to feel giddy, or whether it had just had enough of turning round and round, no one could be sure. But suddenly it stoped. And just as suddenly, so did the mower's engine.

"That's better," said the fox." it's nice and quiet."
"it's quiet," said percy, "but it's not nice. We are going to crash!"
Down went the mower and down went the mower's passengers.
"it's such as pity you don't have wings," said the owl.
"isn't it!" said pery, as he shot past her.

The sheep below looked worried.
They began to run all over the field.
"get out of the way!" shouted percy.
But the sheep didn't. Instead, they huddled together , right under where percy and other animals were falling.
Then percy realised what the sheep were doing.

Now, instead of the hard ground below them, percy looked down to see a soft, springy, woolly blanket.
The badger was the first to land. As each on landed, they bounced on the soft, woolly backs of the sheep.

Even percy, the heaviest of all, bounced three time and was safely down.

Eveyone said a big thank you to the sheep.
They laughed and said they were very happy to help. They were only sorry they couldn't save percy's mower.
Percy looked to where the mower had crashed-landed in a tree.
"i won't be using that again," he said.
"what will you do?" said the hedgehog, "the grass in the park is still very long."
Percy sighed and scratched his head. Then he began to smile.
"er ... Sheep," said percy. "how would you like to visit a field of lovely, long, tasty green grass ...?"

03
“又是悠哉游哉的一整天。”守园人帕西满意地说。
今天是帕西的休息日。他和动物朋友们选了自己最喜欢的公园一角去野餐。
帕西摘掉了他的守园人帽子，用一块边角打了结的大手帕当做遮阳帽顶在头上。
然后，他就靠着一个老树桩，翻开了一本书看着，动物们都围在他身边，等着吃点心的时间来到。

04

05
阳光很暖，大家都有点昏昏欲睡。忽然，一阵嬉闹声赶走了他们的睡意。帕西抬眼望去，只见有几只小兔子——两个兔子哥哥和一个兔子妹妹，正在茂密的草丛里玩看谁跳得远。它们看到帕西，就冲他挥了挥爪儿。

06
“你好呀，帕西！我们在装野兔子玩呢。”
帕西咯咯笑着，也冲它们挥了挥手，这时候，小兔子们已经又往远处跳去了。

07
三只小兔子玩得可真开心。
“我跳得最远！”一只小兔子嚷嚷。
“我跑得最快！”它的兔子兄弟也嚷着。
“我跳得最高！”最小的兔子妹妹叫着，嗖地蹦到了半空中。
“耶！！！”

08

09
可就在小兔子落地的一瞬间，两个哥哥却傻了眼，妹妹竟然不见了！

10
原来小兔子是从一口老井的破井盖上掉了下去。
兔子哥哥们望着地上的窟窿干瞪眼，接着就嚎啕大哭起来。

11
“救命！大窟窿把妹妹吃掉了！救命！来人哪，救命！”
那个来人，当然咯，就是帕西！
两个小家伙飞奔到帕西面前，把刚刚发生的不幸一股脑儿说了出来。
动物们都担心地看着帕西，他听完了兔子们的哭诉，松了一口气：“那口井里没有水，不过井很深。”他说着，就戴上了工作帽，一跃而起。
“我们需要一根长绳子，”帕西说，“跟我来！”

12

13
帕西一路飞奔，动物们紧紧跟随。没过一会儿，他又领着大伙儿掉头往那口老井的方向跑去，这时候，他的肩头已经驮上了一大捆绳子。

14
帕西搬开了那块烂兮兮的木头井盖，盯着那个黑窟窿瞅了又瞅。
他没能看到那只小兔子，此时此刻，它正安稳地坐在井底的一根大树枝上。

15
“哈罗——”帕西叫着，“能听见吗？”
一个尖溜溜的抱怨声传来：“我的头撞了个包包。”
“那你现在没事吧？”帕西问道。
“我的头撞了个包包。”那个抱怨声又一次响起。
“嗯哼，”帕西嘀咕道，“我觉得这小家伙没什么事。”
“我们会丢一根绳子下去，”帕西又对下面叫道，“把它绑紧了，我们就能把你拉上来啦。”
帕西把绳子慢慢往井里放了下去。
可小兔子却不清楚这是做什么用的，结果，它就把绳子给绑到自己坐着的那根树枝上去了。
“好了，用力——起！”帕西叫道。

16

17
帕西猛地一拉绳子，可绳子纹丝没动。他又拉了一下，结果照旧。“这小家伙吃什么了？”帕西嘟囔着，“它重得都快赶上大象了……”在又一次努力变成白费力之后，帕西皱起了眉头。
“好吧，走着瞧，那就大家一起上吧。”

18
这时，井下的那只小兔子已经渐渐适应了昏暗的光线，它东张张，西望望，无意中发现了井壁上有一个小小的洞口。
“我倒想瞧瞧从这里能钻到哪儿。”小兔子琢磨着。

19
井口上，救援队正在帕西身后一字排开，准备来一场拔河大战。
“预备——”帕西高声喊道，“用力！”
井里的什么东西动了一下。
“继续用力！”帕西大叫着，“就要拉上来啦！”
救援队的全体成员一起拉呀，拉呀……他们哼哼唧唧、嗯嗯啊啊、呼呼哈哈、叽叽喳喳地用着力，绳子终于一点一点地给拽了上来。可在绳子绑着的东西露出井口的一瞬间，救援队员们却一下子傻了眼。

20

21
绳子的那一头根本就没有什么小兔子，他们一直在使劲儿拉的只是一根大树枝！
“哎哟，我的个老天！”帕西也傻了，“这到底是怎么回事啊？”

22

23
“小兔子变成了大木桩！”狐狸叫起来。
“小兔子还在井底下！”松鼠们也跟着嚷嚷。
“我们的妹妹人间蒸发了！”兔子兄弟们又嚎啕起来。

24
“呃，没，我没蒸发，”一个尖细的声音从他们身后传来，“我就在这儿……”
大家吃惊地转过头来，只见兔子妹妹就站在救援队伍的最后面。

25
“我想来帮忙，”小兔子哼哼着说，“我们这是要救谁呀？”

26
帕西和动物们看着它，不由地迸发出一阵大笑，他们笑啊笑啊，笑得差点直不起腰。
“可我真不懂了，你到底是怎么脱险的？”帕西好不容易止住了笑，问道。
“这很简单，”小兔子回答，“我找到了一个秘密通道，就从里面钻了出来。”
“真没想到！”帕西感叹了一声。“得，得，得，这倒是提醒了我，”他补充道，“我一定要给这口老井做个新井盖啦。”

27

28
“明天再来做这个吧，”帕西一边说着，一边领着大伙儿回去野餐，“不管怎么样，今天可是我的休息日啊。”

The Rescue Party

The Rescue Party

"What a perfect day for doing nothing," said Percy the park keeper.
Percy was having a day off.
He and some of his animal friends had brought a picnic to one of their favourite places in the park.
Percy took off his cap and made himself a sun hat by tying knots in the corners of his handkerchief. Then he propped himself against an old tree stump and opened his book.
The animals settled themselves around Percy and waited for tea.

It was warm in the sunshine and soon everyone began to doze. Suddenly they were disturbed by the laughter. Percy looked up, there young rabbits, two brothers and their little sister, were playing a leaping game in the long grass. When they saw Percy, the rabbits waved.

"Hello Percy!" we are pretending to be hares.
Percy chuckled and waved back as the rabbits went leaping away.

The three rabbits were having a wonderful time.
"i can jump the longest!" said one.
"i can run the fastest!" said his brother.
"i can jump the highest!" said the smallest rabbit and she jumped high into the air.
"wheeeee!!!!"

But as the rabbit landed, to her brother's surprise, she completely disappear!

She had crashed right through the rotten cover of an old well.
The two brothers stared at the hole in the ground. Then they began to wail.

"Help! The ground has eaten our sister! Help! Somebody help!"
Somebody, of course, meant percy!
The two ran straight to him and told him what had happened.
The other animals looked worried when percy listened and sighed."
"there is no water in the well," he said, "but it's very deep." he pulled on his cap and jumped to his feet.
"we'll need a rope," he said. "come on."

Percy raced away with animals following behind him.
Before long he was leading them back with the animals towards the old well. Over his shoulder, he carries a long rope.

Percy cleared away the rotten wood that had covered the well, and peered into the dark hole.
He couldn't see the little rabbit. She was perched on a log that had wedged itself half way down the well.

"hellooo," called percy. "can you hear me?"
A rather cross little voice answered.
"i bumped my head."
"but are you alright?" asked percy.
"i bumped my head," answered the cross voice again.
"hmm," said percy, "i think she is alright."
"we're sending down a rope," called percy.
"tie it nice and tight and we'll pulled you up."
Percy lowered the rope into the well.
The little rabbit wasn't quite sure what to do, so she tied it tightly to the log that she was sitting on.
"now, heave-ho!" said percy.

Percy pulled on the rope, but nothing happened. He pulled again
"what's she been eating?" he muttered.. "she weighs a ton." he pulled once more, but still nothing happened. Percy frowned.
"alright," he said, "let's see what we can do together."

Down in the well, the little rabbit was beginning to get used to the darkness. As she gazed around, she noticed that there was small opening in the wall of the well.
"i wonder where that leads to," she said.

At the top of the well, the rescuers lined up behind percy, ready to pull on the rope.
"ready," shouted percy. "heave!"
Something in the well moved.
"keep going," said percy, "she is coming."
The rescuers pulled and pulled. They grunted and groaned and quacked and squeaked.
Up came the rope. But as it reached the top, the rescuers got a terrible surprise.

There was no little rabbit on the end of the rope. All they had pulled up from the well was a great big log!
"well i'm blessed!" said percy.
"what's happened to her?"

"She's turned into a log!" said the fox.
"she's at the bottom of the well!" said the squirrels.
"she is lost forever!" wailed the rabbits.

"oh no i'm not," said a little voice behind them, "i'm here ..."
"everyone looked round in amazement. There at the back of the line of rescuers was the little rabbit.
"i thought i'd help you," she said. "what we are doing?"

Percy and the animal began to laugh. They laughed and laughed until they couldn't stand up.
"but how did you manage to get out?" asked percy at last.
"it was easy," she said."i found a secret passage. I comes out just over there."
"well i never!" said percy. "well, well, well. Which reminds me," he added, "i must make a new cover for that old well."

"i'll do it tomorrow," said percy as he led the way back to their picnic. "after all," he said, "today is my day off."

嗯，这个要占地儿好好学 表情占位：s:135

只看了第一段落,就觉得你翻译的确不错.nice job.

哈，俺家囡很喜欢这个PERCY系列呢。。听说这套快出了，不错不错！ 表情占位：s:134

真勤劳啊！学习中！

鸡蛋里挑骨头了...挑然大人的错，实在是有炒作的成分...老师们板砖轻下啊，谢谢。

许久之后，顶起这个帖子，谢谢然大人这么好的翻译。尤其那首诗，竟然也翻译得对仗工整呢，不过就是这个诗，小豆鸡蛋里挑下骨头，韵脚部分出现了两个“径”字，因此建议译文为：

In leafy green hedges,
The doorway was wide.
You looked and you wondered
and then stepped inside.
The puzzling pathways
took you along.
A turn to the right
turn to be wrong.
But when all that seemed left
turned out to be right,
You entered the center,
a wonderful sight!
But now comes the hard part,
to find the right track,
to retrace your steps;
he secret path back.
The maze is a trickster,
of that there is no doubt.
The maze let you in,
but it won't let you out!
