Where the Wind Sleeps

The wind blew all day. It pushed the clouds. It shook the trees. It made the sea jump. At night, the wind got tired. "Where can I sleep?" it asked. "I sleep in a cave," said the bear. "I sleep in a nest," said the bird. "I sleep in the sand," said the fish. The wind looked everywhere. It found a valley between two hills. It lay down there, very quietly. The trees stopped moving. The sea became flat. The clouds stayed still. A little boy looked out of the window. "It is so quiet," he said. "Yes," said his mother. "The wind is asleep." "Then I will sleep too," said the boy. And he did.

【中文对照】 风刮了一整天。它推着云，摇着树，让海面跳起来。 夜里，风累了。「我能在哪儿睡觉？」它问。 「我睡在山洞里，」熊说。 「我睡在鸟窝里，」鸟说。 「我睡在沙子里，」鱼说。 风到处找。它找到两座山中间的一条山谷。 它躺在那儿，非常安静。 树不动了。海面变平了。云停住了。 一个小男孩从窗户往外看。「好安静啊，」他说。 「是啊，」妈妈说，「风睡着了。」 「那我也睡了，」男孩说。 他真的睡着了。
