The Adventures of Pinocchio — Page 1

English → Vi CHAPTER 21 Level 3/10

Pinocchio is caught by a Farmer, who uses him as a watchdog for his chicken coop.

Pinocchio bị một người Nông dân bắt được, người này dùng cậu làm chó canh cho chuồng gà của mình.

Pinocchio, as you may well imagine, began to scream and weep and beg; but all was of no use, for no houses were to be seen and not a soul passed by on the road.

Pinocchio, như bạn có thể dễ dàng hình dung, bắt đầu la hét, khóc lóc và van xin; nhưng tất cả đều vô ích, vì không có nhà nào có thể nhìn thấy và chẳng có một bóng người nào đi qua trên đường.

Night came on.

Màn đêm buông xuống.

A little because of the sharp pain in his legs, a little because of fright at finding himself alone in the darkness of the field, the Marionette was about to faint, when he saw a tiny Glowworm flickering by.

Một phần vì cơn đau nhói ở chân, một phần vì nỗi sợ hãi khi thấy mình cô đơn trong bóng tối của cánh đồng, chú Rối gỗ sắp ngất đi thì nhìn thấy một con Đom đóm nhỏ lập lòe bay qua.

He called to her and said:

Cậu gọi với theo và nói:

"Dear little Glowworm, will you set me free?"

"Đom đóm nhỏ bé thân mến ơi, bạn có thể giải thoát cho tôi không?"

"Poor little fellow!" replied the Glowworm, stopping to look at him with pity. "How came you to be caught in this trap?"

"Tội nghiệp chú bé!" con Đom đóm đáp lại, dừng lại nhìn cậu với vẻ thương hại. "Làm sao bạn lại bị mắc bẫy thế này?"

"I stepped into this lonely field to take a few grapes and--"

"Tôi bước vào cánh đồng vắng vẻ này để hái vài chùm nho và--"

"Are the grapes yours?"

"Những chùm nho đó là của bạn sao?"

"No."

"Không."

"Who has taught you to take things that do not belong to you?"

"Ai đã dạy bạn lấy những thứ không phải của mình?"

"I was hungry."

"Tôi đói."

"Hunger, my boy, is no reason for taking something which belongs to another."

"Đói, cậu bé ơi, không phải là lý do để lấy thứ thuộc về người khác."

"It's true, it's true!" cried Pinocchio in tears. "I won't do it again."

"Đúng vậy, đúng vậy!" Pinocchio vừa khóc vừa kêu lên. "Con sẽ không làm vậy nữa."

Just then, the conversation was interrupted by approaching footsteps.

Đúng lúc đó, cuộc trò chuyện bị gián đoạn bởi tiếng bước chân đang đến gần.

It was the owner of the field, who was coming on tiptoes to see if, by chance, he had caught the Weasels which had been eating his chickens.

Đó là chủ nhân của cánh đồng, người đang rón rén bước tới để xem liệu, may ra, ông có bắt được những con Chồn đã ăn trộm gà của ông không.
