15.Frisk stands on his hind legs and on his head，and dances his jig in great style for Hal and May，and for all the little boys and girls who come to see them.
16.If you want to see him do it，you must come soon；for I fear he will be so fat with all the nice bones and kind words he gets，that his hind legs will not long hold him up！

1.有一天，哈尔和梅出去草地上玩耍。他们才刚刚玩了一会儿，一只陌生的狗来到他们面前。梅害怕狗会伤害他们。但是哈尔说这只狗看上去不会想要伤害任何人。
2.当那只狗听见哈尔这么说的时候，它高兴得只用后腿支撑站了起来，然后它欢快地跑来跑去，因为这只狗无家可归，它想要他们把它带回家，让它留下来和他们在一起。
3.它尽它最大的努力告诉他们，只要他们愿意带它回家，它会是一只多么好的小狗。而当梅说，我要回家问妈妈，小狗跑到她身边，舔她的手。
4.梅回来告诉哈尔，妈妈愿意让他们留下这只狗，你该看看它的样子。它滚过来，又滚过去，不停打滚，用它最快的速度！
5.然后它用后腿站立起来，作了个揖，高声吠叫，像是在说，谢谢你们！现在我给你们看看我能做些什么。
6.接着它跳起了吉格舞，这逗得孩子们非常高兴。于是哈尔轻轻拍了拍它，梅伸出双手抱着它的脖子，叫它做她的乖狗狗。
7.它的双眼非常明亮。在它和哈尔、梅一起跑的时候，也许有欢乐的泪水在它的眼中。快乐的小狗超越了他们跑在了前面。
8.噢，哈！这是什么？它说。我想这是一只漂亮的白猫。我会去看看它。
9.它走近那只猫，吠叫着说你好吗，还伸出它的爪子，就像你看到的那样。
10.可是那只猫可不会和一只陌生的狗握手。不要紧，它说，等我们更熟悉一些，我们会玩得很愉快的。
11.到这个时候哈尔和梅过来了，他们全都去屋子里看妈妈和爸爸。你也许猜到了，不需要很久，爸爸就被哄得同意让小狗留下了。
12.噢，亲爱的爸爸！千万让它和我们一起生活吧，他们高呼。来，我们愿意亲你十次。
13.他们拉下爸爸的脸，立刻在两边脸颊上亲上一口，使得他和妈妈都笑了起来，很长一阵子他们都说不出话来。
14.梅说，现在我们必须给我们的小狗起个名字。叫什么好呢？我们叫他弗里斯克吧，哈尔说，因为它是这么爱玩。
15.弗里斯克用后脚站立起来，头着地打滚，为哈尔和梅，也为所有来看他们的男孩和女孩们，跳起它独特的吉格舞。
16.要是你想看它这么做，你得快点来；以免它得到那么多好吃的骨头和甜言蜜语，变得太胖，那它的后腿就没办法把它支撑起来那么久啦！
HAL AND MAY（CONTINUED）
哈尔和梅（续）
1.Frisk and the cat were very soon on the best of terms.Snow-white，for that was the cat’s name，thought it was so nice to have some one to play with that could run as fast as she could.
2.O，what fun they did have！They would run and play and climb fences；and Snow-white would climb trees，but Frisk could not do that.
3.When Snow-white found that Frisk could not climb the trees，she would very often run up a tree just to plague him a little，and to hear how prettily he could talk.You see，Snow-white began to love Frisk.
4.Then Frisk would make his best bow，and say such pretty words，and play such funny tricks，all in his way that the cat would laugh as best she could，and come down and tell him to catch her if he could.
5.And O！how the cat would run，and how the dog would run！but somehow the dog would always catch the cat，after a little race.
6.While Frisk and Snow-white were having their plays，do you think Hal and May were sitting still on a bench，or fast asleep？or that they were cross and pouting because the dog andcat had such fun？
7.O，no；not a bit of it.They were glad to see them play，and they played too.
8.One day as they were playing all alone out on the green，I thought I would just make a picture of them，and put it in here，so you could see how they looked.
9.How do you like it？What a sweet little girl May is！She has been rolling her hoop till she is tired.If she does not put her hat on she may take cold.
10.Hal says he is not tired，and to show May that he is not，he tries to jump；but he does not jump as though he felt like it.

1.弗里斯克和猫很快就变成了关系最好的朋友。雪白（这是猫的名字）觉得，有一个能和自己跑得一样快的朋友一起玩，真是太好了。
2.噢，他们玩得多开心啊！它们跑，玩耍，爬篱笆，雪白还能爬树，但是弗里克斯干不了这个。
3.当雪白发现弗里克斯不能爬树，它就经常跑到树上去，折磨一下弗里克斯，好听听它会说些什么样的好话。你看，雪白开始爱上弗里克斯了。
4.然后，弗里克斯就会以最佳的姿势鞠躬，说动听的漂亮话，玩非常有趣的把戏，想尽办法把猫逗得哈哈大笑，然后下来对它说，看弗里克斯能不能追上它。
5.还有，噢！猫跑得多欢，狗跑得多快！不知道为什么，在一场小比赛之后，狗总是能抓住猫。
6.在弗里克斯和雪白玩着它们的游戏的时候，你猜哈尔和梅是坐在长凳上一动也不动，还是正在熟睡呢？还是说他们双手交叉在胸前、撅着嘴，因为狗和猫玩得那么开心？
7.噢，不是，完全不是那么一回事。他们很高兴看到它们玩耍，而且他们自己也玩。
8.有一天，当他们自己在外面的草地上玩耍的时候，我想我该为他们照一张照片，拿到这里来，这样你们就能看到他们是什么样子了。
9.你们觉得怎么样？梅是一个多么可爱的小女孩啊！她一直滚动她的铁环直到她累了为止。要是她不把她的帽子戴上，可能会着凉。
10.哈尔说他不累，还展示给梅看他真的不累，他尝试跳跃，可是他并没有像他想要的那样跳起来。
TRAY AND SNAP
特雷和斯纳普
1.Two dogs，Tray and Snap，went out to walk.Tray was a good dog，and would not hurt the least thing in the world.
2.But Snap was cross，and would snarl and bite at all that came in his way.At last they came to a town.
3.All the dogs came near them.Tray hurt none of them；but Snap would grin at this one，snarl at that one，and bite another.
