WHAT SHALL WE BUILD?
我们应该建立什么?
Our children were playing on the sea-shore. They had gathered bright pebbles and beautiful shells, and written their names in the pure, white sand; but at last, tired of their sport, they were about going home, when one of them, as they came to a pile of stones, cried out:
我们的几个孩子正在海边玩耍。他们捡拾明亮的鹅卵石和美丽的贝壳,在纯净、洁白的沙滩上书写他们的名字。但最终他们玩腻了,起身准备回家。当走到一堆石头边时,其中一个孩子突然叫道:
'Oh! Let us build a fort; and we will call that ship away out there, an enemy's vessel, and make believe we are firing great cannon balls into her!'
'Yes, yes! Let us build a fort,' responded Edward, the other lad.
And the two boys—for two were boys and two girls—ran off to the pile of stones, and began removing them to a place near the water.
'Come, Anna and Jane,' said they, 'come and help us.'
