上回我们少儿英语故事说到，大家在寻宝游戏中找到了最珍贵的宝藏——快乐，可对Pandora来说，快乐并没有持续太久。这个周末，Victor邀请大家一起去郊游，可是要去哪里玩儿呢?
Everyone discussed where they should go, and gave their own ideas. Some said they should go to the park, others to go hiking. Iris noticed that Pandora was silent, so she asked her, “Pandora, where do you want to go?” Pandora chuckled and said, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll go wherever anyone else goes.”
大家七嘴八舌地发表意见，有的说要去公园，有的说要去爬山。见Pandora一声不吭，Iris问道：“Pandora，你想去什么地方?”Pandora笑了笑，“随便，大家去哪儿，我就去哪儿。
At this time, Junior had a thought. “A waterpark just opened next to the forest. Let’s go there!” Everyone was pleased with this idea, and cheered excitedly. Pandora didn’t seem too excited about this idea, but she didn’t say anything.
这时，Junior突然有了一个点子。“森林旁边新开了一家水上乐园，我们去那儿玩吧!”大家感到很新奇，都欢呼雀跃。Pandora虽然看上去不太开心，却也没说什么。
Everyone brought their swimsuits, floats, surfboards, and snorkeling gear. They were very excited to get to the waterpark. They wanted first to try the waterslide. Pandora stood at the side, smiling, and laughed.
于是大家带着泳衣，游泳圈，冲浪板和潜水镜，热热闹闹来到了水上乐园。他们先尝试了刺激的水上滑梯，Pandora在一旁笑眯眯地看着大家。
After that, Iris called everyone together to surf, but Pandora shook her head and stood at the side. Victor dropped his surfboard, and everyone laughed.
接着Iris招呼大家一起参加乐园里的冲浪，Pandora却摇摇头，坐在一旁。Victor掉下了冲浪板，惹得大家哈哈大笑。
In the end, with the help of the coach, they learned to dive underwater, and played noisily in the pool with their goggles. But Andrew noticed that Pandora wasn’t playing with everyone. Where did she go?
最后，他们在教练的帮助下学会了潜水，戴着护目镜，在水池里嬉戏打闹。这时，Andrew却发现Pandora没有和大家一起玩，她去哪里了呢?
Everyone looked and looked for Pandora, and they finally found her in the ice cream parlor looking quite unhappy. Iris thought this was odd. She said, “Pandora, why aren’t you playing with us?” Pandora lowered her head and said quietly, “Actually I’m afraid of water. I’m scared to play.”
大家在乐园里找了半天，终于在冰淇淋店里找到了闷闷不乐的Pandora。Iris很奇怪，“Pandora，你为什么不跟我们一起玩儿呢?”Pandora低下头，小声说：“其实我很怕水，我不敢玩。”
“Then why didn’t you say anything when we were deciding where to go?” asked Oxford. Pandora’s face went red. “I thought you guys would be annoyed. I didn’t want to spoil the excitement.”
“那当时决定目的地的时候，你为什么不提意见呢?”Oxford疑惑。Pandora的脸更红了，“我怕你们觉得我麻烦，扫了大家的兴。”
Iris grabbed Pandora’s hand and said, “Sometimes it’s difficult to think of others’ needs, so you should be courageous and give a suggestion, make a decision for yourself. Otherwise how will we know what you’re thinking?” Pandora stared quietly, and then nodded.
Iris却握住Pandora的手，“有时候我们很难考虑到每个人的需求，所以你要大胆地提出意见，勇敢地为自己做决定。不然，我们怎么知道你的想法呢?”Pandora一愣，重重点了点头。
The next day, Junior’s ‘Superman’ father returned to the Happy Forest. What will happen then? Let’s find out next week.
晚安。好梦。
Goodnight. Sweetdreams.
