皮特試著吹口哨，但是他不會。于是他就用轉(zhuǎn)圈來代替，他開始轉(zhuǎn)呀轉(zhuǎn)，轉(zhuǎn)呀轉(zhuǎn)……轉(zhuǎn)得越來越快……
When he stopped everything returned down… and up …
and up … and down … and around and around.
他停下來的時候，每件東西都向下轉(zhuǎn)……向上轉(zhuǎn)……

Peter saw his dog, Willie, coming. Quick as a wink, he hid in an empty carton lying on the sidewalk.
皮特看見他的狗—威利—來了。眨眼間，他藏在了一個人行道上的空紙板盒里。
“Wouldn’t it be funny if I whistled?” Peter thought.
“如果我在這兒吹口哨，會不會很有趣呢?”皮特想。
“Willie would stop and look all around to see who it was.” Peter tried again to whistle---but still he couldn’t. So Willie just walked on.
“威利會停下來看看周圍有誰。”
皮特又試著吹口哨——但他仍然不會，所以威利沒有停下來。
Peter got out of the cartoon and stared home. On the way he took colored chalks out of his pocket and drew a long, long line right up to his door.
皮特從紙板盒里面鉆出來準備回家。回家的路上，他拿著彩色粉筆在地上畫了一條長長的'線，一直到自家門口。

他站在家門口又試著吹起口哨來，他吹得自己的腮幫子都累了，還是沒吹出聲音來。
He went into his house and put on his father’s old hat to make himself feel more grown-up. He looked into the mirror to practice whistling. Still no whistle!
他進了家門，戴上了爸爸的舊帽子，這樣他會感覺自己已經(jīng)長大了。他照著鏡子練習吹口哨，還是沒吹出聲音來。
When his mother saw what he was doing, Peter preteded that he was his father. He said, “I’ve come home early today, dear. Is Peter here?”
媽媽看見他干什么的時候，皮特假裝他是自己的爸爸，他說：“我今天回來早了，親愛的，皮特在家嗎?”
His mother answered, “Why no, he’s outside with Willie.” “Well, I’ll go out and look for them,” said Peter.
媽媽回答：“沒在家，他和威利在外面。”
“好，我出去找他們。”皮特說。
First he walked along a crack in the sidewalk. Then he tried to run away from his shadow.
他感覺很無聊，想在人行道上走一走。后來，他試著從自己的影子里跑開。
He jumped off his shadow, but when he landed they were together again.
他從自己的影子上跳，但是落到地上的時候，他的腳又落在影子上了。
He came to the corner where the carton was, and who should he see but Willie!
他來到紙板盒的拐角處，看見了威利。
Peter scrambled under the carton. He blew and blew. Suddenly---out came a real whistle!

He whistled all the way there, and he whistled all the way home.
