  "Well", cried the surprised girl. 小女孩惊讶地叫道:

  She walked over to the corner of the yard and stood looking down at the foot of the pole. 她走到院子的角落,站在那里,低头看着旗杆底部。

  "Tomorrow will be Elise's birthday, you know," he said. “你知道的,明天是伊莉斯的生日,”他说,
  "I must get up in time to surprise her." “我必须及时起床给她惊喜。”
  Frank wondered why his father smiled as though he knew something funny. 弗兰克想知道他爸爸为什么笑,就像他知道什么趣事似的。
  "I'll tell you what I'll do," said Mr.Gilbert. “我告诉你我将做什么,”吉尔伯特先生说。
  "If you leave the bird house with me, I'll put it up on the pole late this evening. “如果你把小鸟屋留给我,我今晚晚点儿就把它挂到旗杆上。
  Then the surprise will be all ready for her the first thing tomorrow morning." 那么明天早上给她的第一个惊喜就准备好了。”
