《The Goat on the Trail》封面

Wesley and Arno hike the same trail every Saturday morning. They know every turn by now.

韦斯利和阿诺每个星期六早晨都走同一条山路。现在,每一个拐弯他们都熟悉。

Today, they walk around a corner and stop suddenly. A goat stands in the middle of the path.

今天,他们转过一个弯,突然停住了脚步。一只山羊站在小路中间。

"Where did that come from?" Wesley asks. The goat looks at them and doesn't move.

“它是从哪儿冒出来的?”韦斯利问。山羊看着他们,一动不动。

Arno takes a small step forward. The goat takes a step back and lowers its head.

阿诺小心地往前迈了一小步。山羊往后退了一步,低下了头。

"I don't think it wants to fight," Arno says. "It just wants us to go around."

“我觉得它不是想打架,”阿诺说,“它只是想让我们绕过去。”

They try walking around the goat on the left side. The goat moves and blocks them again.

他们试着从山羊的左边绕过去。山羊动了动,又把他们挡住了。

"Maybe it's lost," Wesley says. "There's a farm about a mile from here."

“也许它走丢了,”韦斯利说,“离这儿大约一英里有个农场。”

Arno checks his phone for a signal. "There's a phone number on this sign," he says. He points at a small wooden sign nearby.

阿诺看了看手机有没有信号。“这块牌子上有个电话号码,”他说。他指着旁边一块小小的木牌。

A farmer answers and thanks them for the call. "That's Daisy," he says. "She gets out sometimes."

一位农夫接了电话,谢谢他们打来。“那是黛西,”他说,“它有时候会跑出来。”

The farmer arrives fifteen minutes later with a rope. He leads Daisy back toward the farm.

十五分钟后,农夫拿着一根绳子赶到了。他牵着黛西往农场的方向走去。

"Thanks for waiting," the farmer says. "Some hikers just walk past her."

“谢谢你们等着,”农夫说,“有些徒步的人就直接从它身边走过去了。”

Wesley and Arno wave goodbye and continue their hike. "That was a good trail story," Wesley says with a laugh. Arno agrees, and they walk on to finish the last two miles.

韦斯利和阿诺挥手告别,继续徒步。“这可是个不错的山路故事,”韦斯利笑着说。阿诺表示同意,两人又往前走,走完了最后两英里。
