她说：“今天,你够到了桌子上的小饼干，
拖动了装满小宝宝的小车，
swung on a swing,
dug a hole for acorns,
fixed a leg on the workbench,
and carried a sewing basket.
Do you know why?"
荡了秋千
挖了一个放橡果的洞，
修好了工作台的桌子腿，
拿起了针线篮。
知道为什么吗？"
"why?" asked Puppy.
"Because you are just the right size !" said Mama.
And she gave Puppy a hug, a kiss, and a squeeze.
“为什么？”小狗问。
“因为你正好那么大。”妈妈回答。
然后妈妈温柔地搂着小狗，
给了它一个吻，还有一个紧紧的拥抱。
