【正文】
Once there was an old man.
He lived in an old house.
从前，有一位老人。
他住在一所旧房子里。
"This house is too noisy,"
said the old man.
The door creaked.
The floor squeaked.
And the window went bang-bang.
“这房子太吵了。”
老人说。
门嘎吱作响。
地板吱吱作响。
窗户砰的一声关上了。
One day the old man took his cane.
Off he went to see a very wise lady.
"My house is too noisy,"
said the old man.
"What can I do ?"
一天，老人拿着他的手杖。
他去见一位非常聪明的女士。
“我家太吵了。”
老人说。
“我该怎么办?”
The lady said,
"Take this goat.
The goat will live with you
in your house."
这位女士说:
“带上这只山羊。
山羊会和你住在一起”
The old man took the goat to his house.
The goat went maa-maa.
It broke a chair with its horns.
Crash!
老人把山羊带回了家。
山羊咩咩地叫。
它的角弄坏了一把椅子。
撞!
So the next day the old man
went back to the lady.
"My house is still too noisy!"
he said.
So the wise lady gave him a cow
to take to his house.
于是第二天，
老人又回去找这个夫人。
他说：“我的房子还是太吵了。”
于是这位聪明的女士给了他一头奶牛让他带回家。
The caw went moo-moo!
The goat went maa-maa!
The old man put a pillow
over his head.
奶牛哞哞叫!
山羊咩咩叫!
老人把一个枕头放在头顶上。
The next day the old man
went back to the lady.
"My house is still too noisy!"
he said.
So the wise lady gave him
a donkey to take to his house.
第二天，老人又去了聪明妇人那儿
他说：“我家还是太吵了。”
因此，现在聪明妇人又让他
把一头驴子带回了家。
The donkey went hee-haw,
hee-haw!
The caw went moo-moo!
The goat went maa-maa!
The old man yelled,
"It is too noisy!"
驴子嘿嚯叫！
奶牛哞哞叫!
山羊咩咩叫!
老人吼叫道：“这太吵了！”
The next day
the lady came to the house.
She said, "Open the door.
Let out the goat, the caw,
and the donkey."
And the old man did.
第二天，
夫人来到这座房子，
她说：“打开门，
让山羊、奶牛、驴子都出去吧。”
老人照着做了。
And what do you know?
The house was quiet now!
The old man went to bed
and slept all day long.
你知道吗？
房子现在变得安静了。
老人上床睡觉了
睡了一整天。
