「何をさがしているの?」とその鳥がたずねました。「ぼくは家族のみんなの食べ物をさがしているんです。」とトッド。
「ここには食べ物は何もないよ。でもキングとクイーンの住んでいるところはしってる。きっときみを助けてくれるかもしれない。」と鳥はいいました。
「どこに住んでいるんですか?」とトッド。
「この木のてっぺんにあるおしろに住んでいるんだよ。」と鳥が答えました。
「ありがとう。」とトッドはお礼をいいました。
「わたしの家族のために食べ物をわけていただけますか?」とトッドはたずねました。「いいでしょう。」とキングとクイーン。
「どのぐらいごいり用ですか?」とクイーンがたずねました。「冬の間ずっとわたしの家族をやしなえるだけ...」とトッドは答えました。
Once upon a time there was a young squirrel named Todd who couldn't find food for his family. His family had been out of food for almost a week and today it was his turn to look for food. He was looking for food in a bare walnet tree when he met a bird.
The bird asked,"What are you looking for?"Then Todd climbed to the top of the tree there he saw a castle. It was just the right size for him. So he knocked on the door. He then heard a deep voice saying "Come in". He went in and saw the King and Queen on their thrones. Todd went up and bowed down to the royal couple."I am looking for food for my family," said Todd.
"There isn't any food here but I know where a king and queen live that might be able to help you",said the bird.
"Where do they live",asked Todd.
"They live in a castle on top of this tree",aswered the bird.
"Thanks"said Todd.
Then he asked, "Can I have some food for my family?"The Queen took him to the storage room which was filled with nuts.The King and Queen said "YES".
"How much do you need" she asked.She gave him all he needed and said to come back anytime they needed more food.Todd replied, "enough to feed my family all winter."
"Thank-you your royal highness" said Todd.
