在牛肚子里旅行
A Trip in a Cow's Stomach
有两只小蟋蟀，一只叫青头，另一只叫红头。它们是一对非常要好的朋友。
There were two little crickets. One was called Qingtou, and the other was called Hongtou. They were very good friends.
有一天，吃过早饭，青头对红头说：“咱们玩捉迷藏吧！” “那我先藏，你来找。”红头说。
One day, after breakfast, Qingtou said to Hongtou, "Let's play hide-and-seek!" "Then I'll hide first, and you come and find me," Hongtou said.
“好吧！”青头说完，转过身子闭上了眼。 红头四面看了看，悄悄地躲在一个草堆里不做声了。 “红头，藏好了吗？”青头大声问。
"All right!" After Qingtou said this, he turned around and closed his eyes. Hongtou looked around, quietly hid in a pile of grass, and kept silent. "Hongtou, are you ready?" Qingtou asked loudly.
红头不说话，只露出两只眼睛偷偷地看。它心想，我要是一答应，就会被青头发现。
Hongtou did not speak. He only showed his two eyes and secretly looked. He thought to himself, "If I answer, Qingtou will find me."
正在这时，一只大黄牛从红头后面慢慢走过来。红头做梦也没有想到，大黄牛突然低下头来吃草。可怜的红头还没有来得及跳开，就和草一起被大黄牛吃到嘴里了。
Just then, a big yellow cow slowly walked over from behind Hongtou.Hongtou had never dreamed that the big yellow cow would suddenly lower its head to eat grass. Poor Hongtou, before he could jump away, was eaten into the cow's mouth together with the grass.
“救命啊！救命啊！”红头拼命地叫起来。 “你在哪儿？”青头急忙问。 “我被牛吃了……正在它的嘴里……救命呀，救命呀！” 青头大吃一惊，它一下子蹦到牛身上。
"Help! Help!" Hongtou cried desperately. "Where are you?" Qingtou asked hurriedly. "I've been eaten by a cow... I'm in its mouth... Help! Help!" Qingtou was shocked. He jumped onto the cow at once.
可是，那只牛用尾巴轻轻一扫，青头就给摔在地上了。青头不顾身上的疼痛，一骨碌爬起来大声喊：“躲过它的牙齿，牛在这时候从来不会仔细嚼的，它会把你和草一起吞到肚子里去……”
But the cow lightly swept him with its tail, and Qingtou was knocked to the ground. Ignoring the pain on his body, Qingtou scrambled up and shouted loudly, "Dodge its teeth. The cow never chews carefully at this time. It will swallow you and the grass down into its stomach..."
“那我马上就会死掉！”红头哭起来。它和草已经一起进了牛的肚子。
"Then I'll die right away!" Hongtou cried. He and the grass had already gone into the cow's stomach together.
青头又跳到牛身上，隔着肚皮和红头说话：“红头！不要怕，你会出来的！我听说，牛肚子里一共有四个胃，前三个胃是贮藏食物的，只有第四个胃才是管消化的！”
Qingtou jumped onto the cow again and spoke to Hongtou through the cow's belly: "Hongtou! Don't be afraid. You will come out! I heard that a cow has four stomachs in total. The first three stomachs store food, and only the fourth stomach does the digesting!"
“可是，你说这些对我有什么用呢？”红头悲哀地说。 “当然有用，等一会儿，牛休息的时候，它要把刚才吞进去的草重新送回嘴里，然后细嚼慢咽……你是勇敢的蟋蟀，你一定能出来的”“谢谢你！”红头的声音小得几乎听不见了。它咬着牙不让自己失去知觉。
"But what use is it to me for you to say all this?" Hongtou said sadly. "Of course it's useful. In a little while, when the cow rests, it will send the grass it just swallowed back into its mouth and then chew it carefully and slowly... You are a brave cricket. You will surely get out." "Thank you!" Hongtou's voice was so low that it could hardly be heard. He gritted his teeth to keep himself from losing consciousness.
红头在牛肚子里随着草一起运动着。从第一个胃到了第二个胃，又从第二个胃回到了牛嘴里。终于，红头又看见了光亮。可是它已经一动也不能动了。
Hongtou moved along with the grass in the cow's stomach. He went from the first stomach to the second stomach, and from the second stomach back to the cow's mouth. At last, Hongtou saw light again. But he could not move at all.
这时，青头爬到了牛鼻子上，用它的身体在牛鼻孔里蹭来蹭去。 “阿嚏！”牛打了一个喷嚏。红头随着一团草一下子给喷了出来……
At this time, Qingtou climbed onto the cow's nose and rubbed his body back and forth in the cow's nostrils. "Achoo!" The cow sneezed. Hongtou was sprayed out all at once with a mass of grass...
红头看见自己的朋友，高兴地流下了眼泪：“谢谢你……” 青头笑眯眯地说：“不要哭，就算你在牛肚子里做了旅行吧！”
When Hongtou saw his friend, he was so happy that tears flowed down: "Thank you..." Qingtou said with a smile, "Don't cry. Just think of it as a trip in a cow's stomach!"
