Lili the giraffe was the tallest animal in the park. She ate leaves from the highest branch.
长颈鹿莉莉是公园里最高的动物。她吃最高树枝上的叶子。
But when a little turtle called, Lili could not hear him below.
可是当小乌龟叫她时，莉莉听不见下面的声音。
She looked down and felt dizzy. “How can I talk to you?” she asked.
她往下看，觉得头晕。“我怎样才能和你说话呢？”她问。
“Bend your knees first,” said the turtle. “Then bring your long neck down, slow and easy.”
“先弯膝盖，”乌龟说，“然后把长脖子放下来，慢慢的，轻轻的。”
Lili tried. Her neck wobbled, and her nose almost touched the grass.
莉莉试了试。她的脖子摇摇晃晃，鼻子几乎碰到了草地。
At last, she looked the turtle in the eye. “Hello, little friend,” she said softly.
终于，她看见了乌龟的眼睛。“你好，小朋友。”她轻轻地说。
One hot afternoon, Lili found a juicy leaf. The little turtle waited below.
一个炎热的下午，莉莉找到一片多汁的叶子。小乌龟在下面等着。
Lili bent her neck and brought the leaf down. “We can share,” she said.
莉莉弯下脖子，把叶子带了下来。“我们可以一起分享。”她说。
They ate in the cool shade. Lili was happy to be tall and low at once.
他们在阴凉处一起吃。莉莉很高兴自己能又高又低。
