下午,小农去看他昨天种下的种子。
In the afternoon, Xiao Nong went to check the seeds he had planted yesterday.
他蹲下来看,说:“小芽有多小?怎么还看不见?”
He squatted down and said, "How tiny must the sprouts be? I can't see them yet!"
忽然,一只小鸡跑过来啄地。
Suddenly, a little chicken ran over and pecked at the ground.
小农吓一跳,说:“你多馋啊!想吃我的种子吗?”
Xiao Nong jumped and said, "How greedy you are! Do you want to eat my seeds?"
小鸡被吓到,跑开了。
The chicken got scared and ran off.
小农扒开一点土,小声问:“种子还在吗?”
Xiao Nong brushed aside a little soil and asked quietly, "Are the seeds still there?"
看到种子安全,他松了口气,说:“我多幸运啊!”
Seeing the seeds were safe, he sighed in relief and said, "How lucky I am!"
