LESSON 47

One day John went to the pond to fish. His dog, Watch, went with him.

John sat on a log for a time, but did not catch a fish.

As he got up to go, he fell off the log.

Watch sprang in to save him. John put his arms round the dog’s neck, and was soon safe on the log once more.

“Thank you, my brave old dog,” said John to Watch.

一天，约翰到池塘去钓鱼。他的狗沃奇也跟着一起去。

约翰坐在圆木上待了一会儿，但他没有钓到鱼。

就在他起身要走时，他摔下了圆木。

沃奇跳进池塘去救约翰。约翰把他的手臂绕在沃奇的脖子上，很快又安全地回到了圆木上。

“谢谢你，我勇敢的老朋友。”约翰对沃奇说。
