上周我们少儿英语故事说到Iris和妈妈和好之后，Happy Forest下起了今年第一场雪。
The school had arranged for a bus to pick up the children for school. As a result, Teacher Rolin arranged a task—clearing the snow off the road after they went home.
学校特意安排了一辆校车，接大家上学。于是Rolin老师布置了一项任务——回家之后把路上的雪扫掉。“雪天路很滑，只有把雪扫掉，才不会摔倒。”
Everyone returned home, grabbed their brooms, and swept their doorways clear of snow.
大家回到家拿了扫帚，把家门口的雪全部扫掉了。
Early the next day, the school bus went to pick up the children, but because there was too much snow on the road, the bus couldn’t move. Everyone had to walk to school, and they were all late, frozen and shivering.
第二天早晨，校车来接小伙伴们去上学。可因为路上的雪实在太厚了，校车动不了，大家只好走去学校，结果最后都迟到了，还冻得浑身发抖。
Teacher Rolin looked at everyone’s sad faces, laughed and said, “Because you only swept your doorway, but ignored the snow on the road, it was unsafe for the school bus to be on the road. When there is a problem, we must think of everyone, not just ourselves. Otherwise it will cause trouble for everyone.
Rolin老师看着大家沮丧的脸，笑着说道：“因为你们只扫了家门口的雪，却忽略了路上的雪。校车在雪地上开特别不安全。我们思考问题要考虑所有人，不能只单单考虑自己，否则所有人都会遇到麻烦。”
The students shyly picked up their brooms and went outside and began to sweep the snow. Oxford swept away the snow on the stairs so no one would slip and fall. Junior and Jimmy cleared away the snow from road so that the school bus wouldn’t get stuck. Victor climbed up a tree and cleared the snow off its branches so it wouldn’t fall on people’s heads.
大家羞愧地拿起扫帚，跑到外面开始扫雪。Oxford扫掉了楼梯上的雪，这样大家就不会摔跤了;Junior和Jimmy清理掉马路上的雪，这样校车就不会被卡住;Victor爬到树上，扫掉了树枝上的雪，这样雪花就不会掉在大家的头上。
They had finally cleaned away the snow in the forest, and the weather cleared up. Then they heard a noise from far off—it was the school bus headed for the school!
他们终于扫干净了森林里的积雪，天气也放晴了。这时候远处传来“嘀嘀嘀”的喇叭声——原来是校车朝学校开来啦!
In just one more week, the Happy Forest New Year’s Party would arrive, and the children would give a performance. What will happen there? We’ll find out next week.
再过一个星期，就到Happy Forest的新年晚会了，所有小朋友都得表演一个节目。晚会上又会发生什么故事呢?我们下周再见啦。
