Andile and two friends rented a mountain cabin for the weekend. They brought food for two days. On Saturday night, the snow began.
安迪尔和两个朋友租了一间山上的小木屋过周末。他们带了够吃两天的食物。星期六晚上，开始下雪了。
By Sunday morning, the snow was up to the windows. The road was closed. Nobody could leave.
到星期天早上，雪已经堆到了窗户那么高。路被封了。谁也走不了。
"We must stay one more day," said one friend. "How much food do we have?"
“我们得再待一天，”一个朋友说，“我们还有多少吃的？”
They put everything on the kitchen table. There was half a bag of rice. They had three cans of beans and four eggs. They also had two onions and a few carrots.
他们把所有东西都摆在厨房的桌子上。有半袋米。他们有三罐豆子和四个鸡蛋。还有两个洋葱和几根胡萝卜。
"It is not much," Andile said. "But it is enough."
“不多，”安迪尔说，“不过够了。”
They played cards all afternoon. The loser had to wash the dishes. Andile lost four times.
他们整个下午都在打牌。输的人要洗碗。安迪尔输了四次。
In the evening, they made soup. Andile cut the onions and the carrots. They added the rice and the beans. The soup was hot and thick. The wood stove kept the room warm. Outside, the wind was loud.
傍晚，他们做了汤。安迪尔切了洋葱和胡萝卜。他们把米和豆子放了进去。汤又热又浓。烧木柴的炉子让房间暖暖的。外面，风声很大。
They ate two bowls each. It was the best soup of the whole year. Then they went to bed early.
他们每个人喝了两碗。那是一整年里最好喝的汤。然后他们早早上床睡觉了。
On Monday morning, they heard a big engine. A farmer came down the road on a tractor. It had a wide blade. He pushed the snow to the side. Then he waved at the cabin.
星期一早上，他们听到了一阵很大的发动机声。一个农夫开着拖拉机沿着路过来了。拖拉机前面有一块宽宽的铲板。他把雪推到路边。然后他朝木屋挥了挥手。
Andile ran outside in his socks. He had a cup of hot soup in his hand. The farmer smiled and took it.
安迪尔只穿着袜子就跑了出去。他手里端着一杯热汤。农夫笑了笑，接了过去。
