《Jeffery the Giant巨人杰弗瑞》說明：

Jeffery the Giant had many friends.Everyone liked Jeffery because he was so kind.
He likes to help his friends.
If Peter’s ball got stuck in the tree,Jeffery would get it down.
“Thanks,Jeffery.””Oh you’re welcome,Peter.”
If Mary hurt herself,Jeffery would carry her home.
“Oh!My leg!””Mary,are you OK?Here let me help you up.””Ouch!It hurts.I can’t walk.”
“I’ll take you home.””Thanks,Jeffery.”
Jeffery liked all his friends,but Jeffery was sad.
It was too hard for Jeffery to play with his friends,because…
…their hide-and-seek hiding spots were too small.
…their jump ropes were too short.
…their basketball hoops were too low.
…their seesaws always went up,but they never came down.
One day Jeffery came home early.He sat down under the biggest tree he could find.He didn’t want to be at the playground anymore.”I am too big to play with my friends,”said Jeffery to himself.
“Hi,my name is Eddy.I’m new here.Do you want to play with me?”Jeffery didn’t look up.He kept his head hidden in his hands.”I’m too big to play with anyone,”cried Jeffery.
“I don’t think you’re that big,”said Eddy.
“Really?”asked Jeffery hopefully.
“Yes,really,”said Eddy.”You’re big like me.”
Jeffery took his head out of his hands.
“Oh,hi,”said Jeffery shyly.”My name is Jeffery.”
Eddy smiled.”See,I am big.Why were you crying,Jeffery?”
“Oh,I was crying because I am too big to play with my friends.”
“You’re not too big,”said Eddy.”Their games are just too small.Let’s go to the playground together.and I’ll show you how to make their games bigger.”
Jeffery and Eddy went to the playground to together,and Jeffery learned how to play bigger games.
Jeffery and Eddy bacame best friedns.
They had fun with the other children too.
Jeffery was glad to have such a big friend.

巨人杰弗瑞

杰弗斯有許多朋友。每一個都喜歡杰弗斯，因為他是如此的友善。
他喜歡幫助他的朋友。
如果彼德的球卡在樹上了，杰弗瑞將把它弄下來。
“謝謝，杰弗瑞。”噢，不客氣，彼德。”
如果瑪麗傷害了她自己，杰弗瑞將帶她回家。
“噢！我的腿！”瑪麗，你怎么樣？讓我幫你起來。”“哎唷！痛。我不能走了。”
“我將送你回家。”“謝謝，杰弗瑞！”
杰弗瑞喜歡他所有的朋友，但是杰弗瑞是傷心的。
對于杰弗瑞來說和他的朋友一起玩兒太難了，因為
......他們的捉迷藏藏身處太小了。
......他們的跳繩太短了。
......他們的籃球籃太低了。
......他們的蹺蹺板總是起來，但是從不下去。
一天，杰弗瑞回家很早。他坐在一棵他能找到的最大的樹下面。他不想再去游樂場了。“我太
高大了而不能和我的朋友一起玩兒，”杰弗瑞對他自己說。“嗨！我的名字是艾迪。我是新來的。
你想要和我一起玩兒嗎？”杰弗瑞沒有向上看。
他仍然把頭埋在他的雙手之間。“我太高大了不能和任何人一起玩，”杰弗瑞喊到。
“我認為你不是那么高大，”艾迪說。
“真的？”杰弗瑞滿懷希望地問。
“是的，真的，”艾迪說。“你象我一樣高大。”
杰弗瑞把他的頭從手之間挪開。
“噢，嗨，”杰弗瑞害羞地說。“我的名字是杰弗瑞。”
艾迪笑道。“看，我是高大的。為什么你在哭泣，杰弗瑞？”
“噢，我哭泣是因為我太高大了而不能和我的朋友一起玩。”
“你不是十分高大，”艾迪說。“他們的游戲只不過太小了。讓我們一起去游樂場，我將讓你看看如何使他們的游戲變大。”
杰弗瑞和艾迪一起來到游樂園，
然后杰弗瑞學會了怎樣玩更大的游戲。
杰弗瑞和艾迪成為了最好的朋友。
他們也和其他的孩子們在一起很開心。
杰弗瑞很高興有如此高大的一個朋友
