It was the day that Farmer Duff waited for all year： It was Family Sunday！The kids came into the farm as soon as the doors opened. They fed the goats. They rode the horses. They watched the pigs.
这一天，农民达夫已经等了整整一年了。这天就是周末家庭日！孩子们门一开就来到农场，他们喂山羊，骑马，看小猪。
Everyone left， then all the animals went to sleep. Everything was quite， and sudden...Boom！
所有人都离开了，然后动物们去睡觉。一切都很安静，突然……嘣！
Something jumped from the ceiling2 into the hay3. The dog started barking4 loudly and the chickens ran into each other. Then， the little one started moving. It had the little jacket and a very tall top hat.
有个东西从天花板掉到了干草堆里面。狗狗们开始大声吠叫，小鸡们互相乱撞。然后，有个小家伙在动，它穿着夹克，戴着一顶高高的帽子。
“Please excuse me. Give me just a minute and I’ll try to fix5 it，” said the little one.
“打扰了，请给我一分钟，我会努力修好它。”这个小家伙说。
Then， he took an old wooden spoon out from his jacket. He waved6 it at the ceiling and said， “Ba La Ba La！” And with that， the ceiling was fixed， just like new.
然后，它從夹克里面取出一根旧的木勺，朝天花板一挥，嘴里念着“巴拉巴拉！”，然后天花板就修好了，像新的一样。
“Where did you come from？” asked the sheep.
“你从哪里来？”绵羊问道。
“How did you do that！” said the dog.
“你是怎么做到的？”小狗问。
“I am from France and I lived in a zoo.”
“我来自法国，我住在一个动物园里。”
About this time， the blue bird came to see what had made all the noise. She sat high up on the windows and watched below. “That’s all well and good，” said the bird. “But who are you？”
这时候，一只蓝色的鸟飞过来看是什么发出的声音，它坐在窗子的高处朝下面看。“那真的是太好了，”这只鸟说，“但是你是谁呢？”
“My name is Ferret，” he said.
“我的名字叫费瑞德。”它说。
“I have arrived here for a long time and I take a kind of food for you， the greatest you will eat！”
“我花了很长时间才到达这里，我还为你们带来了一种食物，那会是你们吃过的最美味的食物。”
And with a wave of his spoon over the large hat， he shouted， “Ba La Ba La！”
它把勺子朝大帽子上一挥，嘴里喊道：“巴拉巴拉！”
There was a kind of food in the hat that smelled delicious to every animal. The animals came up to the hat one by one. “I don’t think it’s OK to eat from this Ferret’s hat，” said the blue bird. “We should know what is in that food before we eat it.” But no one listened.
帽子里面有一种食物，闻着很香，足以吸引所有动物。小动物们一个接一个来到帽子面前。那只蓝色的鸟说：“我认为我们直接吃费瑞德帽子里面的食物不太好，我们应该在吃之前先弄明白里面是什么。”但是没有人听。
“It’s delicious！” said the horse， pigs， and the dog.
“太美味了！”小狗、小马还有小猪们异口同声地说。
“The best I’ve ever had. It’s good！” cried the dog. “Can you make us some more？”
“这是我吃过最美味的食物，太好吃了！”小狗喊道，“你能再给我一些吗？”
“Of course， I can！I’ll bring more as soon as I can. But I need to take checks7 or cash.” “当然，我可以的！我可以给你更多食物，但是你需要给我支票或者现金。”
All the animals looked at each other. “But we have no money，” said the dog. Ferret didn’t say a word. He just shakes8 his head. Then， he put the spoon back in his jacket and he walked towards the door.
小动物们面面相觑，“但是我们没有钱，”小狗说。费瑞德没有说话，只是摇摇头。然后，它把勺子放回到夹克里面，朝门口走去。
“But we have food，” said the horse in a soft little voice. Ferret stopped and scratched9 at his head.
“但是我们有食物，”小马用温柔的声音说道。费瑞德停了下来，挠挠头。
“I’ll give you a trade. I’ll tell you all how this food can be made，” said the Ferret.
费瑞德说：“我跟你们做一个交易，我会告诉你们这种食物是怎么做出来的。”
The blue bird tried to stop them， but it was too late. “That deal is bad！Ba La Ba La！” Ferret said.
这只蓝色的鸟试图阻止他们，但是已经太晚了。费瑞德说：“这个交易不太好！巴拉巴拉！”
With a flash， Ferret was gone. He took all the grain10， apples， carrots， chickenfeed11， and the hay. Nobody knows that how he carried it all off. All that was left was a note. The dog picked it up and read it： Carrots， apples， chickenfeed， and hay will be the delicious food.
随着一道闪光，费瑞德消失了。它带走了所有的粮食、胡萝卜、苹果、鸡食，还有干草。没有人知道它是怎么一次性带走这些东西的。它只留下了一张纸条，小狗捡起来读道：“胡萝卜加苹果，加鸡食，加干草，可以做成这种美味的食物。”
The animals looked around for the ingredients12， but there wasn’t any food left. Knowing what a bad mistake they had made， they cried themselves to sleep.
小动物们到处寻找食材，但是这里已经什么食物都没有了。知道自己犯下了严重错误以后，它们哭泣着睡着了。
The next morning， Farmer Duff saw that all the food was gone. He couldn’t imagine13 how they had eaten all of the food on the farm in one night. He spent the whole afternoon buying food from the market. The animals worked all day without anything to eat， but not the blue bird.
第二天早晨，农民达夫发现所有的粮食都不见了。他无法想象它们是怎么在一夜之间吃完这所有食物的。他一整个下午都在集市采购粮食，动物们也饿着肚子工作了一整天，除了那只蓝色的鸟。
When all the animals were tired and hungry， the farmer gave them the scraps14 he could find at the market. Then， the blue bird asked all the animals， “How does it taste？” “Good！” they happily answered. And they ate till they were full.
当所有的动物都又累又饿时，农夫把他在市场上能找到的残羹剩饭给了它們吃。蓝色的鸟问小动物们：“味道怎么样？”小动物们高兴地说：“好吃！”它们一直吃，直到肚子饱了为止。
这一天，农民达夫已经等了整整一年了。这天就是周末家庭日！孩子们门一开就来到农场，他们喂山羊，骑马，看小猪。
Everyone left， then all the animals went to sleep. Everything was quite， and sudden...Boom！
