欢迎来到《给小家伙们的小故事》。

Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People.

今天我的嘉宾是一只名叫Frog的蟾蜍，是的。

My guest today is a toad named Frog and yes.

对。

Yes.

他叫Frog。

His name is Frog.

不是。

No.

他不是青蛙。

He's not a frog.

他叫Frog。

His name is Frog.

他是一只蟾蜍。

He's a toad.

有趣的是，他其实有个朋友是只青蛙，名字叫Toad。

Fun fact, he actually has a friend who is a frog whose name is Toad.

所以他们俩合起来叫‘青蛙和蟾蜍’，但其实青蛙是蟾蜍，蟾蜍才是青蛙。

So together, they are frog and toad, but frog is a toad and toad is a frog.

这事儿明明白白，一点不让人糊涂。

It's all very clear and not confusing at all.

好了，青蛙，欢迎来到我的演播室。

Anyway, frog, welcome to my studio.

好的。

Okay.

咱们来听这个故事，《发光的石头》。

Let's listen to our story, The Glowing Stones.

青蛙，你准备好了吗？

Frog, are you ready for the story?

他准备好了。

He's ready.

记住啊，这个故事没有配图。

Remember, there are no pictures.

你得在脑子里自己想象那些画面。

You'll have to imagine the pictures in your mind.

怎么想都行，随你的心意。

You can imagine them however you want.

好。

Okay.

我们开始了。

Here we go.

西尔维和贾斯敏在森林里蹦蹦跳跳地走着。

Sylvie and Jasmine skipped through the forest.

她们是最好的朋友，而且都是兔子。

They were best friends, and they were also rabbits.

每天一大早，她们都会从地下的家跑出来，到那棵特别的树下碰头。

Every single day, they would scurry out of their underground homes and meet at their special tree.

她们管它叫冒险树，因为所有冒险都是从这儿开始的。

They called it their adventure tree because it was the starting point of all of their adventures.

然后她们就一起蹦蹦跳跳地出去找吃的，主要是浆果和树叶。

Then they would skip off together foraging for food, mostly berries, berries, and leaves.

天哪，她们可太喜欢那些树叶了。

OMG, they loved their leaves.

日子过得真不错。

Life was good.

可就在一个再普通不过的早春星期二早晨，发生了一件特别的事。

Then on just a regular old Tuesday morning in early spring, something very interesting happened.

她们正外出觅食、嬉戏时，Jasmine突然想爬到河边那块最高的石头上。

They were out looking for food and playing around when Jasmine got the idea to climb the tallest rock next to the river.

她一跃而上，得意地抖了抖尾巴。

She hopped up and fluffed her tail in triumph.

Sylvie抬头看了看，有点紧张，因为她太了解Jasmine了，知道她准会做出出人意料的事。

Sylvie glanced up nervous because she knew Jasmine very well and could predict that she'd behave in an unpredictable way.

就在那时，Jasmine突然跳起舞来。

That's when Jasmine broke into dance.

那舞跳得特别搞笑，可惜你看不见，不然你现在肯定笑得停不下来。

It was a very funny dance, and it's sad that you can't see her dancing because you would be laughing right now if you could.

但就连西尔维——她一向不纵容朋友这疯疯癫癫的行为——也忍不住笑了一声。

But let's just say, even Sylvie, who tries not to encourage her friend's crazy behavior, managed a giggle.

别闹了。

Stop.

要是别的兔子过来怎么办？

What if other bunnies come along?

西尔维环顾四周，说道。

Sylvie said, glancing around.

贾斯敏笑了。

Jasmine laughed.

放松点，西尔。

Loosen up, Syl.

贾斯敏开始在舞步里加些乱七八糟的踢腿动作。

Jasmine started adding some random kicks into her dance routine.

哦，嗨。

Oh, hey.

这是什么？

What's this?

贾斯敏弯下腰去看什么东西，这一下就从西尔维的视线里消失了。

Jasmine bent to look at something, and in doing so, slipped out of Sylvie's view.

贾斯敏，西尔维轻声叫道。

Jasmine, Sylvie whispered.

过来看看。

Come see.

我从来没见过这样的东西。

I've never seen anything like it.

贾斯敏抬起头，发现西尔维还站在原地没动。

Jasmine popped her head up and saw that Sylvie had not moved.

西尔维，快过来。

Sylvie, come now.

你真得看看这个。

You have to see this.

西尔维脸色一下子白了。

Sylvie blanched.

你知道我怕高。

You know I'm afraid of heights.

西尔维，你可是只兔子。

Sylvie, you're a rabbit.

你从这块石头跳下去，稳稳落地根本不是事儿，”贾斯敏躲在大石头后面，声音闷闷地传来。

You could jump off this rock and land on your feet no problem, Jasmine said, sounding muffled from behind the big rock.

西尔维不情愿地一跳一跳，踩着越来越高的石头，最后终于跳到了贾斯敏坐着的那块最高石上。

Sylvie reluctantly hopped up a few rocks of increasing size until she was able to hop onto the highest rock, where Jasmine was perched.

西尔维停住了。

Sylvie stopped.

她看到了贾斯敏在看的东西。

She saw what Jasmine was looking at.

那是什么东西？

What are those?

我不知道。

I don't know.

我打算碰一下。

I'm gonna touch one.

别碰，求你了。

Don't don't touch it, please.

咱们就别动它们了。

Let's just leave them here.

你可不能随便乱碰，但已经晚了。

You shouldn't go around just touching But it was too late.

贾斯敏拿起了一块石头。

Jasmine picked up one of the stones.

石头很光滑，圆圆的，正好能稳稳地放在她的爪子里。

It was smooth and perfectly round, and it fit nicely in her paw.

除了光滑之外，它本没什么特别的，除非你注意到它在发光，就像里面有一道光在脉动一样。

Aside from its smoothness, it wouldn't have been remarkable, except for the fact that it was glowing, almost like it had a light pulsing inside of it.

贾斯敏，西尔维说。

Jasmine, Sylvie said.

我忍不住嘛。

I had to.

对不起。

Sorry.

其实也不算真抱歉，因为这太让人兴奋了。

Not really sorry though because this is so exciting.

感觉怎么样？

How does it feel?

西尔维问。

Sylvie asked.

暖暖的。

Warm.

你拿吧。

Go ahead.

把另一个也拿起来。

Pick up the other one.

我不知道，西尔维说。

I don't know, Sylvie said.

但她没法否认自己很好奇。

But she couldn't deny that she was curious.

她想把那块石头拿起来。

She wanted to pick it up.

贾斯敏一直对她微笑着。

Jasmine kept smiling at her.

西尔维拿起了那块石头。

Sylvie picked up the stone.

现在，她们俩都用手掌握着发光的石头。

Now they both held glowing rocks in their paws.

西尔维感觉到石头温润光滑，手一动，那微光似乎也跟着轻轻变化。

Sylvie felt how warm and smooth it was, How the glowing light seemed to change a little as she moved it around in her paw.

谁会把它们就这么扔在这儿呢？

Why would somebody just leave these here?

西尔维四下张望，小声嘀咕。

Sylvie whispered, looking around.

你觉得他们会回来拿走吗？

Do you think they might come back and get them?

我有个主意，”贾斯敏说。

I have an idea, Jasmine said.

咱们就先放在这儿，不过稍微遮一遮，不那么显眼。

Let's leave them here, but we can kind of hide them just a little bit.

如果一周后它们还在，咱们就留下。

And if they're still here in a week, let's keep them.

西尔维想了想。

Sylvie thought about it.

如果有人不小心把石头留在这儿，他们肯定很快就会回来拿，用不了一周。

If somebody had left the stones here by accident, they'd probably be back soon to get them, sooner than a week.

他们把石头轻轻塞进岩石的一个小凹槽里。

They tucked the stones in a little hollow of the rock.

然后他们最后深深看了一眼，赶紧跳开，生怕自己会反悔。

Then they took one last long look at them and hopped away before they could change their minds.

那是他们这辈子过得最漫长的一周。

It was the longest week of their lives.

他们整天聊的全是那些石头。

All they could talk about were the stones.

这些石头到底是干什么用的？

What were they for?

它们是从哪儿来的？

Where had they come from?

除了发光，它们还能做什么？

What else could they do besides glow?

每天他们蹦蹦跳跳地找吃的，努力不靠近河边，生怕忍不住想去偷看一眼。

Every day, they hopped about, collecting food, and trying not to venture near the river so as not to be tempted to peek.

到了周末，他们聚在那棵冒险树下，兴奋地咯咯笑个不停。

At the end of the week, they met at their adventure tree and giggled excitedly.

两人一起用尽小短腿最快的速度蹦到河边，终于来到了那块最大的石头前。

Together, they hopped all the way down to the river as fast as their little legs could hop and finally reached the biggest rock of them all.

茉莉先跳了上去，西尔维紧跟着跳到她旁边，两人一起弯下腰，往石头的凹陷处张望。

Jasmine hopped up first, Sylvie hopped up beside her, and they both bent down to peer into the hollow of the rock.
