Winnie in Winter

寧靈供稿

北風(fēng)呼呼地刮起來的時候，四周天寒地凍的時候，你跺著腳冷得打顫的時候，會不會格外懷念夏天的美好生活？哎呀，真巴不得冬天趕緊過去呀！女巫溫妮也和你一樣呢。她一邊發(fā)抖一邊看著結(jié)冰的池塘和光禿禿的花園，真是煩透了冬天！瞧，就連黑貓Wilbur的胡須也結(jié)了冰。

于是，溫妮揮舞魔棒，大聲念出咒語：ABRACADABRA！你猜，會有什么不可思議的事情發(fā)生呢？溫妮會滿意自己用魔法變出的一切嗎？一起來讀繪本，去經(jīng)歷一場冬日暢游吧。

Winnie the Witch looked out of her window and shivered.

Her garden was covered in snow.

Her pond was covered in ice.

“Im tired of winter，” said Winnie.

Wilbur came in through the cat flap.

His feet were wet， and his whiskers were frozen.

Wilbur was tired of winter， too.

Suddenly， Winnie had an idea.

She stopped what she was doing， took down her big book of spells， and read it carefully.

Then she put on her coat， her hat， her snow boots， her gloves， and her scarf.

She picked up her wand and she went outside.

Winnie shut her eyes.

Then she stood on tiptoe， counted to ten， waved her wand five times， and shouted， “ABRACADABRA！”

And something magical happened！

The sun shone brightly. The sky was deep blue. All the snow had disappeared.

It was no longer winter at Winnies house.

It was sunny summer.

Winnie went out in the garden to sit in the sun.

“This is lovely，” said Winnie. “Summer is much nicer.”

And Wilbur lay down in the sun and purred.

The flowers woke up and began to grow.

Up came the leaves， and then the flowers.

But the sun was too hot for them.

Their heads began to droop and the flowers were dying.

Winnie heard a very strange noise ...

Winnie turned around， and there behind her was a great crowd of people.

They were running along the road towards her house.

They took off their coats， their hats， their boots， their gloves， and their scarves.

They sat in the sunshine. They walked on the flowers.

They put orange peel on the grass. They paddled in Winnies pond.

Soon there was no room for Winnie and Wilbur in the garden.

The noise was horrible. The mess was horrible. Winnies lovely summer was horrible.

Winnie was furious.

She waved her wand five times， and shouted， “ABRACADABRA！”

The sun disappeared. The blue sky disappeared. And the snow began to fall.

The people put on their coats， their hats， their boots， their gloves and their scarves， and rushed home.

Winnie and Wilbur went back inside.

Winnie made a cup of hot chocolate and toasted a muffin.

“This is warm and cosy，” said Winnie. “Winter is lovely， too.”
