LITTLE Henry one day got a present of two white rabbits. One was a big rabbit, and the other was a little one.
They were put into a little house made of wood. Do you know what a rabbit -house is called? It is called a hutch.
One day the door of the hutch had been left open, and the rabbits got out.
They both ran about the garden, seeking for something to eat.
A big basket filled with fine fresh turnips and carrots stood a littl way off.
The rabbits soon found their way to it, and began to eat off all the green leaves.
There they are in the picture! Do you see them? The big rabbit sits on his hind feet, and reaches to the top of the basket.
See! he has pulled a turnip down. It has fallen on the ground, and the little rabbit runs to it and begins to eat too.
It is a good thing that the big rabbit pulled this turnip down, for the little one could not have reached to the top of the basket.
In this way the big one helped the little one. This is just what boys and girls should do at their meals. They should help the little ones first.
That is a good lesson to learn from Henry's white rabbits. Is it not?
一天，小亨利收到一份礼物，是两只白兔。一只是大兔子，另一只是小兔子。
两只兔子放到了一个小木屋里面。你知道兔舍用英语怎么说吗？是hutch.
有一天，兔舍的门没关上，两只兔子跑出来了。
两只兔子都在菜园里到处乱跑，找吃的。
有个大篮子，盛着新鲜的芜菁跟胡萝卜，摆在不远处。
两只兔子很快就到了篮子跟前，吃起了所有的绿叶子。
这幅画里就是这两只兔子！你看见了吗？大兔子两只后脚着地坐直了，够到了篮子顶上。
瞧！大兔子把一块芜菁扒下来了，落到了地上。小兔子跑过去吃了起来。
大兔子把芜菁扒下来是好事儿，因为小兔子（自己）够不到篮子顶上。
就这样，大兔子帮助了小兔子。男孩女孩们吃饭的时候，也应该这样，应该先帮助年纪小的孩子。
亨利的两只白兔给我们上了一课，对吗？
