　　Mr. Dawson was an old grouch, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his ball bullet gun.

　　道森先生是個(gè)壞脾氣的老頭子，鎮(zhèn)上的每個(gè)人都知道這個(gè)。小孩們知道不能到他的院子里摘美味的蘋果，甚至掉在地上的也不能撿，因?yàn)閾?jù)他們說，老道森會(huì)端著他的彈丸獵槍跟在你后面追。

　　One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, she was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him.

　　一個(gè)周五，12歲的珍妮特要陪她的朋友艾米過夜。她們?nèi)グ准业耐局械寐愤^道森先生的房子。當(dāng)她們離道森家越來越近時(shí)，珍妮特看見道森先生坐在前廊，于是她建議她們過馬路從街的另一邊走。跟大多數(shù)孩子一樣，珍妮特聽過他的故事，對(duì)他很是害怕。

　　Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, "Hello Miss Amy. I see you've got a little friend with you today."

　　艾米說別擔(dān)心，道森先生不會(huì)傷害任何人。但每向前走一步，離老人的房子越近，珍妮特就越緊張。當(dāng)她們走到房子那兒，道森抬起了頭，一如既往地皺著他的眉頭。但當(dāng)他看到是艾米，一個(gè)燦爛的笑容讓他整個(gè)表情都變了，他說：“你好，艾米小姐，我看見今天有位小朋友陪你?！?/p>

　　Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Dawson had the best apples in town.

　　艾米也對(duì)他微笑，告訴他珍妮特會(huì)陪她過夜，她們要一起聽音樂玩游戲。道森告訴她們這聽上去很有趣，給她們每人一個(gè)從他的樹上剛摘下來的蘋果。她們很高興地接受了，因?yàn)榈郎奶O果是鎮(zhèn)上最棒的。
