哈哈，放羊的孩子睡着了...

Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn;
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn.

Where is the boy?
Who looks after the sheep?
Under the haystack
Fast asleep.

小姑娘和她可爱的小羊羔，形影不离，于是在学校的教室里就出现了这极具喜剧色彩的一幕。

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went,
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day, which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.

很喜欢这首，场面非常生动！三只丢了手套的小猫和猫妈妈的对话趣味盎然，让我们忍俊不禁。作为妈妈，这样的场景真是太熟悉了，我们不也曾和自己的孩子说过相似的话么？作为女儿，这样的场景也是熟悉的，孩提时代，我们和自己的妈妈不也有过这样的对话么？对了，pie是一种烘制出来的甜馅饼，常见的风味有：苹果的、樱桃的、坚果的、红薯的、南瓜的等等，在西餐中通常作为餐后甜点。

Three little kittens,
They lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
"Oh, mother dear,
We sadly fear
That we have lost our mittens!"
"What! Lost your mittens,
You naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie,
Mee-ow, mee-ow,
You shall have no pie."

这首是我最喜欢的英文儿歌之一，也是孩子们最常唱的。就是在成人的世界里，每逢雨天人们逗乐时还会顺口唱起。活泼有趣，朗朗上口，希望你和你的宝宝也会喜欢。

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day,
Little Arthur wants to play.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day,
Little Arthur wants to play.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day,
Little Arthur wants to play.
