你被影子吓到过吗？还记得小时候天黑就不敢出门了吗？只要我在家，家里所有的灯要保持亮着的状态，为这没少挨妈妈的骂。其实，我是很怕黑的。总觉得有什么怪兽会出现在晚上，今天所要说的绘本故事就是关于天黑的故事。

1. Frog was very excited.  All winter he had been asleep under a stone, and now that it was spring, he was on his way back to his pond.

小青蛙现在非常兴奋。整个冬天他都睡在石头底下，现在春天终于来了，他迫不及待地向他的池塘奔去。

2. On the way, he bumped into Badger and Hedgehog.  Then he played leapfrog with Rabbit and Mouse.

在路上，他碰到了刺猬和獾。之后他又和小兔子、小老鼠玩了会儿跳背游戏。

3. …

4. Suddenly, he saw that it was getting dark, so he borrowed a lantern from Mouse and off he went through the woods to the pond.  Woo-woo! the wind blew in the trees.  Squeak-squeak! went the lantern, as it swung from side to side.  And the dark was all around.  When Frog reached his home, he put the lantern down behind him and was just about to jump into the water, when he saw…

不一会儿天就黑了，小青蛙向小老鼠借了一盏灯。他穿过树林向池塘走去。风吹的树叶沙沙作响，油灯也在风中摇摆。当小青蛙到家之后，天就全黑了。他将油灯放在身后，正要跳向水里时……

1. …a huge, black Pond Monster with enormous claws, coming out of the reeds.

他看到长有巨大手掌的池塘怪兽从芦苇中向他扑来。

3. Frog grabbed the lantern and hopped as fast as he could back through the woods. 

“There’s a huge monster in the pond!” he cried.

“Are you sure?” laughed Hedgehog.

Frog nodded, trembling.

“All right,” said Hedgehog, calmly.  “We’ll have a look together.”

“And I’ll come too,” said Mouse.

小青蛙拿起油灯以最快的速度跑回了树丛中。

“池塘里有怪兽！”他大喊道。

“你确定吗？”刺猬不屑的问道。

小青蛙颤动着点点头。

“行吧，我们一起去看看。”刺猬说道。

“我也去。”小老鼠说道。

1.  Off they went through the woods.  Woo-woo! the wind blew in the trees.  Squeak-squeak! went the lanterns.  “Wait for me!” cried Mouse.  And the dark was all around.  Soon Hedgehog and Frog reached the pond.  “Now,” said Hedgehog, “where’s this monster…?”

在他们穿过树丛时，树叶被风吹的沙沙作响，油灯也在风中摇摆。“等等我啊！”小老鼠喊道。四周漆黑一片，不一会儿刺猬和小青蛙就来到了池塘边。“我们到了，怪兽在哪呢？”刺猬问道。

2. There it is!” cried Frog.  It was bigger than before, with enormous claws and terrible spikes down its back!  “Run! Run! “cried Hedgehog.  “Pond Monster! Pond Monster!”

“在那呢！”青蛙喊道。怪兽比之前还要大，他有一双巨大的手掌，背上还有麒麟。“快逃啊！池塘怪兽来啦！“刺猬大喊道。

4. “What’s all this?” chuckled Rabbit.  “A monster?  There’s no such thing as monsters!”

“Come and see for yourself,” said Hedgehog, shivering.

“All right,” said Rabbit.  “I will.”

“I will never swim in my pond again!” sniffed Frog as they set off through the woods.

“世上根本就没有怪兽啦！”小兔子不屑的说道。

“你自己去看呢！”刺猬哆嗦的说道。

“好啦，我会去的。”小兔子回答道。

“我再也不要在我的池塘里游泳啦！”青蛙边抽泣边走出了树丛。

1. Woo-woo! the wind in the trees.  Squeak-squeak! went the lanterns.  “Wait for me!” cried Mouse.  And the dark was all around.

树叶被风吹的沙沙作响，油灯也在风中摇摆。“等等我啊！”小老鼠喊道。四周漆黑一片。

2. It wasn’t long before they were back at the pond.  Rabbit, Hedgehog and Frog tiptoed to the water.  There it was again, the big Pond Monster.  It was bigger than ever!  It had enormous claws, terrible spikes down its back, two big horns and wildly waving arms!

不一会儿，他们就又来到了池塘边。小兔子、刺猬和青蛙蹑手蹑脚地走向水边。他们看到了池塘怪兽，这次他变得更大了。他有一对巨大的爪子，后背还有麒麟，头上还有一对大角

4. “Run for your life!” yelled Rabbit, racing back through the woods, with Hedgehog and Frog close behind.

“赶快逃命吧！”小兔子大喊道。转身跑回了树丛中，刺猬和青蛙紧随其后。

1. “What’s going on?” asked Badger.  So they told him all about it.  “Come along,” Badger said.  “I’d like to see this monster of yours.”  And off they went once more.  Woo-woo! the wind in the trees.  Squeak-squeak! went the lanterns.  “Wait for me!” cried Mouse.  And the dark was all around.

“发生什么事了？”獾问道。他们把所看到的都告诉了獾。“都随我来，我到要看看你们所说的怪兽！”獾说道。因而，他们又再次穿过树丛前往池塘。树叶被风吹的沙沙作响，油灯也在风中摇摆。“等等我啊！”小老鼠喊道。四周漆黑一片。

2. As they reached the pond, a huge gust of wind came through the trees and blew out all the lanterns!  “I can’t see a monster,” said Badger at last.  “That’s because it’s too dark,” whispered Frog.  And there they all stood, waiting in the moonlight for something to happen.

当他们到达池塘边时，突然一阵大风吹灭了所有的煤灯。“哪有怪兽啊？”獾问道。“那是因为太黑了！”青蛙在他耳边说道。于是他们都站在那里，等着月光照亮怪兽。

4. Just then, Mouse caught up with the others, at last.  Yooo-hooo!” she shouted, waving from the bank.  Badger, Rabbit, Hedgehog and Frog looked at Mouse.  And then they looked at the small, black shape waving from the reeds.

小老鼠是最后一个到达的，“嘿！”她在池塘对岸冲大家喊道。大家看到小老鼠身后有一个黑黑的影子在芦苇上晃来晃去。

1. “Look at that!” said Hedgehog.

“That’s not a Pond Monster,” said Rabbit.

“That’s Mouse’s shadow!” said Frog.

“I can’t believe it!” said Badger.  “You running from your shadows every time!”

“大家快看呢！”刺猬喊道。

“那个不是池塘怪兽！”小兔子说道。

“那个是小老鼠的影子！”青蛙说道。

“我简直不敢相信，你竟然每次都让影子吓到了！”獾说道。

3. The four friends laughed and laughed and laughed.  “Hurry!” cried Frog.  “There’s no monster after all!”  And with a huge, happy SPLASH! he leaped into his lovely pond-at last.

这四位小伙伴一起大笑起来。“哦，再也没有池塘怪兽啦！”青蛙喊道。说完，“哗”一声，青蛙纵身跳入了他最爱的池塘中。
