「レオ、レオ、男の子がいます!!!!!!!」とさけんだノニー。
「あの男の子のこと、どうしたらいいかな?」とレオ王様。「たべちゃえ」と気のきかないコヨーテがさけびました。
すぐにあたりはし〜んっと静まりかえりました。「どうやってここにやってきたんだい?」とレオが男の子に向かっていいました。
「船がなんぱしちゃったんだよ。」とついに最初はこわがっているように見えたジミーがいいました。
「なんてかわいそうな子。」ととても世話ずきのラッコ、ノニーのおかあさんがやってきていいました。
「ぼくはかわいそうなんかじゃないよ。船がなんぱしちゃったんだ。」
Once there were some animals that lived on an island in the middle of the sea. They had a king who was a leopard named Leo. They were very happy, because there were no hunters .One day a young otter named Nonny came up to King Leo and said :
"Leo, leo"she cried "there's a boy!!!!!!!"King Leo rushed to the shore, and sure enough a boy lay on the shore. The animals stared at him and the wreckage beside him with wonder. In a few minutes the boy woke up and screamed. All the animals rushed into the forest. Leo called a meeting.
"What should we do with this boy," he said.All the animals laughed and Beu the bear scratched his head in confusion. While they were talking, the boy whose name was Jimmy got up and hurried into the forest, right into the middle of the meeting."Eat it," shouted a dim-witted coyote.
Immediate silence followed.The animals helped him make a bed and he stayed there that night. He stayed there a year until a rescue ship found the island. The animals had hid in the forest but Jimmy hungry for humans rushed out onto the beach and waved his hands. The ship stopped at the island and a big man lifted Jimmy onto the ship.Leo started at the boy and said, "How did you get here?"
Jimmy looked scared. He finally said "I was shipwrecked."
Nonny's mother who was a very loving otter went up and said, "Poor boy."
Jimmy said "I'm not poor. I 'm just shipwrecked."
The ship slowly sailed away and Jimmy called out, "Goodbye. Goodbye!" The animals were very sad to see him go. Leo had a tear in his eye and Mrs. Otter went flatout and sobbed.
Epilogue: Jimmy found his parents and lived to be very old. The animals still missed him .
