英语美文：童趣童真

　　Two little kids went out to play

　　In their backyard one summer day.  

　　They gazed at cotton candy sky,

　　And argued as the clouds sailed by.

　　"There goes a fluffy² sheep!" Tim cried,

　　As Kimmy scrutinized³ the sky.

　　"I do not see a sheep," she said.

　　"I see a flock of birds, instead."

　　"How lovely are the birds!" said he.

　　"Look there's a swarm⁴ of bumble bees,

　　And there goes a train, a foot long!"

　　"Oh no brother, you are so wrong."

　　"Pesky Kimmy, don't be a pain,

　　'Cos you are driving me insane.

　　Go away and leave me alone

　　To just imagine on my own!"

　　"Okay then, I'll leave you alone,

　　But when you see a shape unknown,

　　Do not go screaming out to me,

　　'Cos I won't tell you what I see."

　　"Leave me alone and let me be,

　　I don't need you to play with me!"

　　Feeling lonely, she blurted⁵ out,

　　"If you need me just give a shout!"

　　Notefluffy：披着绒毛的　　scrutinized：细察　　flock：一群　　insane：极愚蠢的    blurted：未加思索地冲口而出
