Once upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a little damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.

从前有一只青蛙，大家叫他渔夫杰里米先生。他住在池塘边上的一座房子里，房子盖在水面上，周围簇拥着毛莨丛。

The water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.

食品间和房子后面的过道到处都是水，又湿又滑。

But Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he never caught a cold!

但是杰里米先生就喜欢把脚弄湿。没有人因此责备过他，他也从来不感冒！

He was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain, splashing in the pond— "I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my dinner," said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. "If I catch more than five fish, I will invite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. The Alderman, however, eats salad."

一天，杰里米先生瞧见外面下起了大雨，雨点哗啦哗啦地落在池塘里，他高兴极了——“我要去弄点虫子，钓一盘米诺鱼当晚餐。”杰里米先生说，“如果钓到的鱼超过五条，我就请我的朋友，长老龟托勒密先生和伊萨克·牛顿爵士吃饭。不过，长老龟先生只吃沙拉。” 4Am0d2AcgaSjWAFJR+L8UT6a3uccO7g1dsF1cx1F7PD5BjAKxoLlKLiwFFk2rYs9
