一只羊妈妈为救小羊求助男孩

A boy was one day walking in a field when he saw a sheep coming towards him.
有一天，一个男孩在田野里散步时，看见一只羊朝他走来。

The poor thing came running up quite close to him.
那只可怜的羊跑着靠近了他。

She then went on a few steps, at the same time, turning around and look up in the boy’s face, and bleating loudly.
接着她走了几步，同时转过身来，抬头看着男孩的脸，大声咩咩叫。

The boy had never seen a sheep act in this way before, and wanting to find out what the sheep wanted, she began to follow her across the field.
男孩从未见过羊这样行为，出于好奇想知道它想要什么，便开始跟着它穿过田野。

On and on she went, every now and then turning round to see if the boy was coming.
她一直往前走，时不时回头看看男孩是否跟了上来。

At last she led the way to a place where there was a running stream, and a deep pool of water.
最后，她把他带到一处有溪流和深水潭的地方。

As soon as he came to this spot, the boy saw a little lamb struggling in the water.
一到这个地方，男孩就看见一只小羊羔在水中挣扎。

It had fallen over the bank into the pool below, and trying to get out.
它从岸边跌入下方的水潭，正试图爬出来。

The poor mother sheep must have known that she needed help to save her little one.
可怜的母羊一定知道她需要帮助才能救出自己的孩子。

By leaning over the bank, the boy found that he could just reach the lamb.
男孩俯身探过岸边，发现自己刚好能够到那只小羊羔。

He caught hold of it, and lifted it up on the bank.
他抓住小羊，把它拉上了岸。

The mother sheep seemed greatly pleased to have her lamb again beside her.
母羊似乎非常高兴，因为她的孩子又回到了身边。
