Paddy the park-keeper sat down on a grassy bank in his park and mopped his brow.
“The west wind was blowing hard last night. It blew the litter baskets over and scattered all round my nice clean park.”And Paddy mopped his brow again.
“Ive been picking up litter all day long. My back aches and Im hot and tired!”
Now the hedgehog family happened to be playing hide and seek under the bushes. They heard what Paddy the parkkeeper said, and they felt sorry for him.
“Well have all this paper picked up in a jiffy, and have some fun at the same time!” giggled the oldest hedgehog.
Very soon all the little hedgehogs began to roll over and over and over, squealing and laughing. The paper stuck to their prickles, and the litter in the park was cleared up in no time.
公园管理员帕蒂坐在自己管理的公园里芳草萋萋的河岸上,擦去额头上的汗水。
“ 昨晚的西风刮得很猛烈,把垃圾筐都吹翻了,垃圾在我美丽干净的公园里四处散落。”帕蒂再次拭擦自己额头上的汗珠。
“我一整天都在捡垃圾。腰酸背痛,又热又累!”
此时刺猬一家子碰巧正在灌木丛下玩捉迷藏。他们听到了公园管理员帕蒂的话,他们为他感到难过。
“我们马上就把这些废纸都捡起来,同时从中找些乐子!”年纪最大的刺猬咯咯地笑着说。
很快,所有的小刺猬开始不断地翻滚翻滚再翻滚,尖叫着,嬉笑着。废纸都粘到了他们的刺上,公园里的垃圾立刻就被清理干净了。
