Jude and his friend Koa walk on a hill path. The sun is hot. They want some shade.
裘德和朋友科阿走在一条山坡小路上。太阳很毒。他们想找个阴凉的地方。
Koa sees a small cave by the path. "Look!" she says. "Let's go in."
科阿看见路边有一个小山洞。“看！”她说，“我们进去吧。”
The cave is cool and dry. It is not deep. Light comes in from the door.
山洞里又凉爽又干燥。洞不深。光线从洞口照进来。
Jude walks to the back wall. Koa stays near the door. The air smells of wet stone.
裘德走到后面的石壁前。科阿留在洞口附近。空气里有一股湿石头的气味。
Jude says, "Hello?" A voice says, "Hello?" Jude stops.
裘德说：“喂？”一个声音说：“喂？”裘德停住了。
"Who is there?" he asks. "Who is there?" says the voice. Koa does not move.
“谁在那儿？”他问。“谁在那儿？”那个声音说。科阿一动不动。
"Jude, I want to go out," she says. Her face is white. "Go out," says the voice.
“裘德，我想出去。”她说。她的脸色发白。“出去。”那个声音说。
Jude looks at the walls. Then he smiles. "Koa, it is only an echo," he says. "It says our words again."
裘德看了看四周的石壁。然后他笑了。“科阿，那只是回声，”他说，“它把我们说的话再说一遍。”
Koa looks at him. "Really?" she asks. "Really," says the voice.
科阿看着他。“真的吗？”她问。“真的吗？”那个声音说。
They both laugh. The voice laughs too. Koa shouts, "I am Koa!" and the cave shouts it back.
他们俩都笑了。那个声音也笑了。科阿喊道：“我是科阿！”山洞把这句话喊了回来。
Jude shouts, "Hello, hill!" The cave says it back. Koa laughs so hard that she sits down.
裘德喊道：“你好，山坡！”山洞也把它喊了回来。科阿笑得太厉害，坐了下来。
They stay for ten minutes and shout silly words. Then they sit in the shade. They eat their lunch.
他们待了十分钟，喊着各种傻话。然后他们坐在阴凉处吃了午饭。
