The Missing Donkey
少了一頭驢 The Missing Donkey
小小趕著十頭驢,他一邊走,一邊數:Xiao-xiao was driving a herd of donkeys. While walking, he counted them:
一二三四五六七八九十。“On, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten.”
小小走累了,他騎上一頭驢。小小數Xiao-xiao was too tired to walk, so he got on one of the donkeys and counted again,
一二三四五六七八九—-One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine—-
哎呀!不好了!少了一頭驢。“Oh-no! A donkey is missing.”
小小急得跳下來,他又數:Xiao-xiao panicked and jumped off the donkey. He then counted again:
一二三四五六七八九 十。嗯!沒錯!Hmm, It’s correct, he said.
小小騎上驢,他再數:Xiao-xiao got on the donkey’s back again. He counted one last time.
二三四五六七八九—One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine—-
哎呀!怎麽又少了一頭?“Oh-no! A donkey is missing again.”
