John says he is going for a drive. How happy he looks with the whip in his hand!
He has a chair for a coach, and a piece of tape for a rein.
The horse is his own rocking -horse.
The lady inside the coach is his sister's big doll.
John made a coach out of a chair,
And then as driver sat;
Look how he sits with merry face,
In his brown paper hat.
He took his little sister's doll,
And with a smile did say,
“Please get into my coach, and we
Will drive to town today.”
约翰说,他要赶一趟马车。约翰手里拿着马鞭子,一副特别高兴的样子。
他拿了一把椅子当车厢,拿了一根布条当缰绳。
马儿就是他自己的摇摆木马。
车厢里的女士呢,是他妹妹的大娃娃。
约翰用椅子当车厢,
自己当车夫坐下;
看他坐着,一张快活小脸儿,
盖在棕色的纸帽子底下。
他拿了小妹妹的娃娃,
微微笑着说了一声:
“请您快点儿上车吧,
今天咱们要赶车进城!”
