儿童小故事：皮得和三只小猫(5)

Peter was very happy to have helped the kittens. But suddenly he remembered about Easter.
"Oh no!" he cried. "It is almost Easter and I haven't hidden any eggs yet!What will I do?"

皮特很高兴帮助了小猫。但是突然他记得了复活节。
“哦，不！”他喊，“几乎到了复活节了，我还没有将蛋藏好呢！我该怎么办呢？”

"Don't worry." said the three little kittens. "You have seen that we are good at hiding things. We will help you hide the eggs."
Peter accepted their help and off everyone rushed, with Peter hopping¹ big-bunny hops² and the kittens racing³ along to keep up.

“不要担心。”三只小猫说。“你看见了我们擅长藏东西。我们将帮助你来藏蛋。”
皮特接受了他们的帮助，每个人跑起来，皮特跳着大兔步，小猫们在后面奔跑着追赶。

By Easter morning, everything was finished. Best of all, none of the eggs had broken. So Peter gave the three extra eggs to the three little kittens as thanks for all their help.

到了复活节早上，每件事都完成了。最好的是，没有一个蛋被弄破。所以，皮特将三个多余的蛋送给了三只小猫作为对他们的帮助的感谢。
