Rain clouds were starting to roll in over the village. Rain That Dances looked at the sky as he ran to the center of the village. He was meeting his friends Thunder Cloud, Simon, and Little Hummingbird. Simon had just moved in to a home not far from the village. Little Hummingbird lived just across the river.
烏雲開始捲入了村莊的整個天空。Rain That Dances看了一下天空，當他跑到村莊中心的時候。他要去見他的朋友Thunder Cloud, Simon Little和Hummingbird。 Simon才剛搬進距離村莊不遠的家裡。Little Hummingbird就住在河的對岸。

Rain: It may rain today. We may not have much time to meet the great bird.
今天可能會下雨。我們可能沒有太多的時間和大鳥會面了。

Then Rain That Dances saw his friends.
然後Rain That Dances看到了他的朋友。

Rain: Hi. We'd better hurry before the rain starts.
嗨。在下雨之前，我們最好快一點。

Hummingbird: I cannot wait to meet Mr. Eagle.
我真想趕快見到老鷹先生。

Thunder: Me too.
我也是。

When they got closer to the tree stump, they could see Mr. Eagle. They could also see a rabbit with him.
當他們走近老樹幹的時候，他們看到老鷹先生。他們也看到了一隻兔子跟他在一起。

Rain: We are here.
我們在這裡。

The great bird flapped his wings with joy. The rabbit hopped around the tree stump.
大鳥高興地拍打著它的翅膀。兔子在老樹幹的附近跳躍。

Mr. Eagle: We are happy to see all of you. Today, Miss Rabbit will tell you many things you can do to stay strong and healthy.
我們很高興看到大家。今天，兔小姐會告訴你很多你可以做的事情來保持強壯和健康。

The children quickly sat around the tree stump. They listened as Miss Rabbit began to talk.
孩子們很快地在老樹幹附近坐好。兔小姐開始說了，他們聽著。

Rabbit: Have you ever heard your grandparents speak about Mother Earth?
你們有沒有聽過你們的祖父母說過大地的事情？

Little Hummingbird raised her hand like she did in school.
Little Hummingbird就像她在學校上課一樣舉起了她的手。

Hummingbird: My grandmother has told me many times that I need to take care of Mother Earth.
我的祖母曾經告訴我許多次我需要照顧大地。

Rabbit: Your grandmother is a very wise woman. You have to take care of Mother Earth because she gives us many gifts.
妳的祖母是一位非常明智的女人。妳必須照顧大地，因為它給了我們許多的禮物。

The children looked at the rabbit and then at each other. Simon raised his hand.
孩子們看著兔子，然後又互相對望。Simon舉起了手。

Simon: What do you mean by "gifts"?
你所說的“禮物”是什麼意思？

Thunder: Yeah! What gifts?
是啊！什麼禮物？

Rabbit: Mr. Eagle tells you how you need to play and have fun and keep your body moving. You would not be able to do that if you did not have Mother Earth to walk upon. That is a gift. Walking and running on Mother Earth helps keep your spirit strong.
老鷹先生告訴了你需要如何玩耍娛樂來保持你的身體活動。如果沒有大地讓你在上面走動的話，你就無法做到那些。那就是一個禮物。在大地上走和跑可以使你的精神堅強。

Then the rabbit hopped over to a flower that was growing by the children.
然後，兔子跳到孩子們種的一朵花那裡。

Rabbit: You see this flower? This flower is a gift from Mother Earth. She grows flowers of many colors for you to enjoy. What else does she give you?

Rain: I guess she gives us things that grow.

Hummingbird: I have seen you in the garden, too.
我也看過你在花園裡。

At that, Miss Rabbit laughed.
說到那些，Miss Rabbit笑了起來。

Miss Rabbit hopped around and then she stopped. The fruits and vegetables that grow in the garden are food for you to eat, too. They are very good for all of us. Let's think of what is in the garden. What is growing there?
Miss Rabbit到處跳了跳，然後停下來。花園裡生長的水果和蔬菜也是給你們吃的食物。它們對我們都是非常好的食物。讓我們想想，花園裡有什麼。什麼在那裡生長呢？

Thunder Cloud did not say a word. Miss Rabbit and Mr. Eagle looked at him. He had his head down.

Mr. Eagle: You do not eat any of these things?

Miss Rabbit hopped over to Thunder Cloud.
兔小姐跳到Thunder Cloud那裡去。

Rabbit: You can get vegetables from the store, but first, the vegetables have to grow in someone's garden. Just as Mother Earth gives us flowers of many colors, she gives us fruit and vegetables of many colors. Carrots are orange; squash is green or yellow; tomatoes, apples, and strawberries are red; grapes and plums are purple; green beans are green; cucumbers are green; pumpkins are orange.
你可以在商店買蔬菜，但是首先，蔬菜必須在別人的花園裡生長。正如大地給了我們許多顏色的花、她給了我們許多顏色的水果。胡蘿蔔是橘色的，胡瓜是綠色或黃色的；蕃茄、蘋果、草莓是紅色的；葡萄、李子是紫色的；綠豆是綠色的；胡瓜是綠色的；南瓜是橘色的。

Thunder: Why are we talking about fruits and vegetables, anyway?
我們為什麼要談論水果和蔬菜呢？

Rabbit: Because it is important that growing children eat enough fruits and vegetables every day to grow strong. You told us that you do not like vegetables. Have you ever tasted vegetables?
它是很重要的 -- 因為成長中的孩子每天要吃足夠的水果和蔬菜去成長強壯。你告訴我們，你不喜歡蔬菜的原因。你從來有沒有吃過蔬菜？

Thunder: No, I don't think they taste good. I just like the other food my mom makes.
沒有，我不認為他們好吃。我只喜歡我媽媽做的其他的食物。

Rabbit: You will never know how they taste unless you taste them to find out. Can I ask you to take one bite of a vegetable to taste it?
你永遠不會知道它們的味道是什麼，除非你去吃它們、去瞭解。我可以請你吃一口蔬菜、去嚐嚐它嗎？

Thunder: Ugh. Okay. I will try. I want to be healthy like my friends.
阿。好吧。我試試看。我想要像和我的朋友一樣健康。

Rabbit: Pick out vegetables of different colors and try one at a time. You may find some that you like. After all, different colors have different tastes. Does corn taste like carrots?
挑出不同顏色的蔬菜、一次試一個。你也許會發現一些你喜歡的。畢竟，不同的顏色有不同的味道。玉米味道像不像胡蘿蔔？

No! 不像！

Rabbit: Eating all kinds of fruits and vegetables is good for all of us.
吃各種水果和蔬菜對我們大家有益。

Rain: But how can we eat that many fruits and vegetables every day?
但是我們如何每天能吃到許多水果和蔬菜呢？

Simon：Yeah, how can we do that?
是阿，我們如何能做到那樣？

Thunder: Yeah, how?
是阿，如何呢？

Rabbit: You can eat fruits at breakfast and fruit and vegetables at lunchtime. You can have a fruit or a vegetable for a snack and you can have them for supper. Think of making your plate full of color. It will get easy when you do it for a while. Every time you eat can be a time to eat a fruit or vegetable.
你可以在早餐吃水果，在午餐吃水果加蔬菜。你可以有一個水果或蔬菜當作零食，你可以把它們當作宵夜。想辦法讓你的盤子充滿了顏色。當你做了一陣子後，那就會很容易了。每次你吃的時候，都可以吃到水果或蔬菜。

Rain: You are right. I like to eat all the time. For a snack, I can eat some strawberries instead of a cookie.
你說得對。我什麼時候都喜歡吃。我可以吃一些草莓當作零食，而不是一個餅乾。

Simon: I can eat sliced cucumbers instead of potato chips.
我可以吃黃瓜片，而不是洋薯片。

Hummingbird: I can eat grapes or a plum instead of candy.
我可以吃葡萄或李子，而不是糖果。

Thunder Cloud stayed sitting down and did not say a word. Mr. Eagle, Miss Rabbit, and the children looked at him, and Rain That Dances asked him --
Thunder Cloud坐在那裡，沒說一句話。老鷹先生、兔小姐和孩子們看著他，Rain That Dances問他 --

混淆文法提示：

Eating all kinds of fruits and vegetables is good for all of us.
  動名詞片語                   動詞

本句的主詞是動名詞eating並不是kinds或fruits and vegetables；動名詞是不可數名詞(p.152)，故現在是be動詞要用is
