If You Give a Pig a Party如果你給小豬開派對

如果你給小豬開派對，會怎么樣呢？它一定想要很多氣球，把屋子裝飾得喜氣洋洋的；它一定還需要換上一件漂漂亮亮的衣服，再招呼上一堆朋友來參加派對，熱熱鬧鬧的。啊，對你來說，這將是多么忙碌的一天??！不過，對小豬來說，這又是多么快樂的一天??！

If you give a pig a party，

she’s going to ask for some balloons.

When you give her the balloons，

she’ll want to decorate（裝點） the house.

When she’s finished，

she’ll put on her favorite dress.

Then she’ll call all her friends to invite them to the party.

Her friends won’t be home，

so you’ll go with her to look for them.

On the way， she’ll see a street fair.

She’ll want you to take her on the

bumper cars（碰碰車）.

All her friends will be there.

Then you’ll have to take her on all the rides.

She’ll want to play all the games too.

When she’s done， she’ll ask you for some ice cream.

When she’s finished eating the ice cream，

she’ll need to change her clothes.

You’ll have to take her home.

She’ll ask her friends to come along.

On the way， she’ll start

a game of hide-and-seek.

When you finally get home，

you’ll have to make dinner.

Then she’ll want to have a sleepover（在外過夜）.

You’ll have to find pajamas（睡衣） and blankets and pillows（枕頭） for everyone.

When she sees the pillows， she’ll start a pillow fight.

Then she’ll make a fortress（堡壘） out of blankets.

Of course， when she’s finished，

she’ll want to decorate it.

So she’ll ask for some balloons.

And chances are， if you give her some balloons，

she’s going to ask you for a party.

小時候，你一定聽過“從前有座山，山里有座廟，廟里有個老和尚，正在給小和尚講故事。老和尚說，從前有座山……”哈哈，這就是一個“Circular Tale”！不斷重復的句式、夸張離奇的要求、回環往復的進展，都讓讀故事的孩子樂此不疲地追問：“然后呢？還有呢？”那么，你來把故事接著講下去吧！
