Fen the fox cub curls in his den. Leaves whisper, and a branch knocks twice.
小狐狸芬蜷在自己的洞穴里。叶子在低声细语,一根树枝敲了两下。
He covers his ears with his tail. "The forest is too loud," he whispers to his mother.
他用尾巴盖住耳朵,小声对妈妈说:“森林太吵了。”
Mother brings a soft feather and drops it near his nose. It floats down slowly, like a tiny boat.
妈妈带来一片柔软的羽毛,放在他的鼻子旁边。羽毛慢慢飘下来,像一只小小的船。
Fen watches the feather land on his paw. His eyes grow heavy, and his breathing turns slow.
芬看着羽毛落在他的爪子上。他的眼皮越来越重,呼吸也慢了下来。
An owl sings one low note above the den. Fen thinks it sounds like a door closing softly.
一只猫头鹰在洞穴上方唱出一个低低的音。芬觉得那声音像一扇门轻轻关上。
He hums the note back. The forest is not loud now; it is singing him to sleep.
他跟着哼回那个音。森林现在不吵了,它在唱歌哄他入睡。
