花格子大象艾玛 第一本 part 2
It was Elmer who kept the elephants happy. Sometimes he joked with the other elephants, sometimes the joked with him, But of there was even a little smile, it was usually Elmer who started it.
One night Elmer couldn’t sleep for thinking, and the think that he was thinking was that he was tired of being different. ”Whoever heard of a patchwork elephant?” he thought.”No wonder they laugh at me.”
In the morning before the others were really awake, Elmer slipped quietly away,
unnoticed.
艾玛是大家的开心果,有时候是他逗大家玩,有时候是大家逗他玩。 每次哪怕只有一点点笑声,也总是艾玛引起来的。
有一天晚上,艾玛翻来覆去地睡不着,他在想心事,就是不想再跟大家不一样,“哪儿听说过花格子的象?” 他想,“怪不得大家笑话我了。” 早晨趁大家还没醒透,艾玛就悄悄地溜走了。
