LESSON 35

REVIEW

Bess, do you hear a noise?

Yes, Tom; what is it?

It is the mill by our house; logs are cut there.

How do they cut the logs, Tom,—with an ax?

Not with an ax, Bess; it is too hard work; they cut them with a saw.

May we not go and see the mill at work, Tom?

Yes, I think so. The air is cool, and we can walk in the shade. We should go soon, Bess, or the pile of wood will be gone.

Our two goats and the cart are here, Tom; we can ride to the mill. It is not up hill, and the goats can pull us fast.

贝丝，你听到噪音了吗？

是的，汤姆。那是什么声音？

是从房子旁边的磨坊里传来的，那里在锯木头。

汤姆，他们是怎么锯木头的，用斧子吗？

不用斧子，贝丝，那太难弄了。他们用锯子把木头锯断。

我们难道不能去看看磨坊里是怎么干活的吗，汤姆？

好啊，我想可以。空气凉爽，我们可以在树荫下走过去。我们该快点走，贝丝，否则那堆木头就要锯完了。

汤姆，我们的两头山羊和小车在这儿，我们可以驾车去磨坊。这里不是上坡，山羊可以拉我们快点走。
