Roo and his sister stand next to an old lighthouse. It is tall and white. A small door is open.
鲁和姐姐站在一座古老的灯塔旁边。灯塔又高又白。一扇小门开着。
"Let's count the steps," says his sister. "No talking!"
“我们来数台阶吧，”姐姐说，“不许说话！”
"Okay," says Roo.
“好。”鲁说。
They start to climb. The steps go round and round. Roo counts in his head. His legs hurt. His sister walks in front. She counts with her lips.
他们开始往上爬。台阶一圈又一圈地盘旋。鲁在心里数着。他的腿很酸。姐姐走在前面，嘴唇一动一动地数着。
At the top, the wind is strong. The sea is blue and wide. Small boats sit on the water. The view is great. They sit on a bench to rest. They drink some water. Roo takes a photo of the sea.
到了塔顶，风很大。大海又蓝又宽。小船停在水面上。景色真美。他们坐在长椅上休息，喝了点水。鲁给大海拍了一张照片。
"I counted 98 steps," Roo says.
“我数到98级台阶，”鲁说。
"No, it is 102," says his sister. "You are wrong."
“不对，是102级，”姐姐说，“你数错了。”
"No, you are wrong!" Roo says. They both frown.
“不，是你数错了！”鲁说。两个人都皱起了眉头。
Then Roo sees a small sign on the wall. He reads it out loud. "This tower has 98 steps. Four more steps go to the lamp room."
这时，鲁看见墙上有一块小牌子。他大声念了出来：“这座塔有98级台阶。再往上四级是灯室。”
His sister reads it two times. "I counted the lamp room steps too," she says.
姐姐把牌子读了两遍。“我把灯室的台阶也数进去了。”她说。
Roo laughs. "So I win!" His sister laughs and sits on the floor.
鲁笑了。“这么说，我赢了！”姐姐也笑了，坐在了地板上。
