Workers Everywhere 无处不在的劳动者

Stories in "Big and Little Workers" are not from the land of make-believe, as were "Old Tales." 大小小的劳动者里的故事，不是来自古老的传说里描述的梦幻大陆。

They are from our own world, in which we live every day; 而是来自我们每天生活的世界。

and they tell about some children and some grownup people who did their work so very well that they and many others were made happy. 故事讲述了一些孩子和大人因工作做得很好，从中得到了乐趣。

Perhaps you have tasks that you do everyday at home. 或许你每天在家都有事情要做。

One story in this part of your book will show you how very different were the tasks that boys and girls did in their homes three hundred years ago. 本书的这一部分中有个故事会告诉你，300年前男孩和女孩在家里做的事情是多么的不同。

Did you ever try to make a plaything for yourself or someone else? 你有没有尝试给自己或其他人做过一个玩具？

Another story will tell you about a little boy who made toys so very well that people in far-away places sent for them. 一个小男孩做的玩具非常好，很远地方的人都来请他做。

Did you ever stop to think that many people are working for us while we are asleep? 你有没有想过，在我们睡觉的时候，有许多人在为我们工作？

These workers and many others you will read about in this part of your book. 你会在本书的这一部分中读到这些辛勤的劳动者的故事。
