The next morning, after talking to Lion and Tiger, Elmer went to meet Kangaroo.
“Come on, Kangaroo,” he said. “Lion and Tiger will be by the river.”
Elmer set off at a steady pace while Kangaroo bounced behind him, in front of him, around him and even over him.
第二天早晨,艾玛跟狮子和老虎交代了几句以后,就去见袋鼠。
“来吧,怠忽,”他说,“狮子和老虎在河边等着呢,”
艾玛一步一步走,袋鼠蹦蹦跳着,一会儿在他后面,一会儿在他前面,一会儿在他身边,有时候还从他头上跳过去。
