介绍:
我有个小小的影子，老跟着我进进出出，
我可没看出来，他有什么用处。
他从头到脚都像我；
每次我跳上床，他都先我一步。
他长大的方法超好玩—
不像一般小孩那么慢；
有时候他像个皮球，突然窜高，
有时候又小得压根找不着。
小朋友该怎么玩，他一点不懂，
可捉弄我的法子，他样样精通。
他紧挨着我，看着就像个胆小鬼；
我要是像他黏我那样黏着阿妈，都会脸红！
那天早上，早到太阳还没起呢，
我就起床，找到了每朵金凤花上闪亮的露珠；
可我那懒惰的小影子，跟只瞌睡虫似的，
还赖在我身后的床上，呼呼大睡呢。

My Shadow
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest things about him is the way he likes to grow-
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there&`&s none of him at all.
He hasn&`&t got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, he&`&s a coward you can see;
I&`&d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
