Oliver

Some elephants came across the ocean on a ship.

They were going to work in the circus.

One elephant's name was Oliver.

一些大象乘着船漂洋过海。

这些大象要去马戏团工作。

其中一头大象叫奥利弗。

When they landed

the circus man counted them:

大象到岸后，马戏团的人开始数大象：

"One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten elephants.”

“一头、两头、三头、四头、五头、

六头、七头、八头、九头、十头。”

"And one makes eleven,” said Oliver.

“十一头。”奥利弗说。

"There must be a mistake.

I ordered only ten elephants,"

said the circus man.

"We don't need eleven."

“一定是出错了。我只订了10头大象。”马戏团的人说。

“我们不需要十一头。”

"I won't take up much room,”

said Oliver.

"Elephants always do,”

said the circus man.

“我占不了多大地方的。”奥利弗说。

“大象本来就占地儿。”马戏团的人说。

"Good-bye, Oliver,"

said the other elephants.

"Take good care of yourself."

“再见，奥利弗。”其他大象说。

“照顾好自己。”

"Thanks, I'll go at once,” said Oliver.

一只小老鼠走过来。

“你为什么不去动物园试试？”小老鼠说。

"What you need is a moving van,"

said the taxi man.

"My goodness.

and walked away.

“你需要一头大象吗？”奥利弗问。
