　　威尔伯冲出去，急急忙忙地吃了个精光，舔着食槽。

　　The sheep moved off down the lane, the gander waddled along behind them, pulling grass.

　　羊群顺着小路走了，公鹅一摇一摆地跟在它们后面，啄着青草吃。

　　接下来，正当威尔伯躺下要打它的早盹时，

　　它又听见了头天夜里叫它的细小声音。

　　"Salutations!" said the voice.

　　“敬礼！”那声音说。

　　Wilbur jumped to his feet. "Salu-what?" he cried.

　　威尔伯一下子跳起来。“敬——什么？”它叫道。

　　"Salutations!" repeated the voice.

　　“敬礼！”那声音再说一遍。

　　"What are they, and where are you?" screamed Wilbur.

　　“这话是什么意思，你在哪里？”威尔伯尖声大叫，

　　"Please, please, tell me where you are. And what are salutations?"

　　“谢谢你，谢谢你告诉我，你在什么地方。什么是敬礼？”
