One day Nat and I sat on the high hill by the sea, where the tall lighthouse stands. We could look far out, and could see the ships at sea.
As we sat there, we saw a man near by, with some sheep and lambs. The man had a pipe in his mouth. He sat with us, and let the sheep eat the grass.
What fun it is to see lambs play! It made us laugh to see them.
The man said that once, when the sheep and lambs were out in the snow, an old wolf took one of the lambs, and ran off with it.
I think that men should watch their sheep, so that a wolf can not catch them.

一天,奈特和我坐在海边的高山上,高高的灯塔立在那里。我们可以看到很远的地方,可以看见海里的船。
我们坐在那里,看到旁边有个人,还有一群绵羊和山羊。这个人的嘴里叼着一只烟斗。他和我们坐在一起,让绵羊吃草。
看着山羊玩耍多有意思呀!我们笑着观看它们。
这个人说,当绵羊和山羊在雪地里被放养时,曾经有只狼抓到了一只山羊,然后叼着它跑掉了。
我觉得这个人应该看护好他的绵羊,这样狼就抓不到羊了。
