Old Mother West Wind — Page 3
Bobby Coon had such a good ride that he wanted to go again, but Jimmy Skunk wanted a ride.
ボビー・クーンはとても楽しい乗り物体験をしたので、もう一度乗りたかったのですが、ジミー・スカンクも乗りたがっていました。
So Bobby Coon hopped off of the big log and Jimmy Skunk hopped on and away he went across the Smiling Pool with little Joe Otter pushing behind.
そこでボビー・クーンは大きな丸太から飛び降り、ジミー・スカンクが乗り込み、小さなジョー・オッターが後ろから押しながら、スマイリング・プールを渡って行きました。
Then Jerry Muskrat found another log and gave Peter Rabbit a ride.
それからジェリー・マスクラットは別の丸太を見つけ、ピーター・ラビットを乗せてあげました。
Jerry Muskrat's brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and cousins found logs and took Reddy Fox and Johnny Chuck and even Mr. Toad back and forth across the Smiling Pool.
ジェリー・マスクラットの兄弟姉妹や叔母叔父やいとこたちも丸太を見つけて、レディ・フォックスやジョニー・チャックや、さらにはトード氏まで乗せて、スマイリング・プールを何度も行き来しました。
Happy Jack Squirrel sat up very straight on the end of his log and spread his great bushy tail for a sail.
ハッピー・ジャック・スクワーレルは丸太の端にとても真っすぐに座り、ふさふさした大きな尻尾を帆として広げました。
All the little Breezes blew and blew and Happy Jack Squirrel sailed round and round the Smiling Pool.
小さな風たちがどんどん吹き、ハッピー・ジャック・スクワーレルはスマイリング・プールをぐるぐると帆走しました。
Sometimes someone would fall off into the water and get wet, but Jerry Muskrat or Billy Mink always pulled them out again, and no one cared the tiniest bit for a wetting.
時々誰かが水の中に落ちてびしょ濡れになることもありましたが、ジェリー・マスクラットかビリー・ミンクがいつも引き上げてくれて、誰も濡れることをまったく気にしませんでした。
In the bushes around the Smiling Pool the little birds sang and sang.
スマイリング・プールの周りの茂みでは、小さな鳥たちがずっと歌い続けていました。
Reddy Fox barked his loudest.
レディ・フォックスは思い切り大きな声で吠えました。
Happy Jack Squirrel chattered and chir--r--r--ed.
ハッピー・ジャック・スクワーレルはおしゃべりをしながらキーキーと鳴きました。
All the muskrats squealed and squeaked, for Jerry Muskrat's party was such fun!
マスクラットたちはみんな叫んだり鳴いたりしました。ジェリー・マスクラットのパーティーはとても楽しかったのです！
By and by when Mr.
