我回来时,衣服很脏,我也很疲倦。
of course, the next morning miss watson was angry with me because of my dirty clothes,?
第二天早晨,当然是因为我的脏衣服,沃森小姐很生我的气。
but the widow just looked unhappy. soon after that we stopped playing robbers because we never robbed people and we never killed them.
可寡妇只是看上去不高兴。之后不久,我们就不玩强盗游戏了,因为,我们从来没抢劫过人,从来没杀过人。

时间流逝,冬天来到了。
i went to school most of the time and i was learning to read and write a little.
大部分时间我去学校上学,我学认字,也学着写一点。
it wasn’t too bad, and the widow was pleased with me.
不太糟,寡妇对我挺满意。
miss watson had a slave, an old man called jim, and he and i were good friends.
沃森小姐有一个奴隶,是个叫吉姆的老头,我和他是好朋友。
i often sat talking to jim, but i still didn’t like living in a house and sleeping in a bed.
我经常坐着和他聊天,但我仍然不喜欢住在房子里,睡在床上。
then, one morning, there was some new snow on the ground and outside the back garden i could see footprints in the sown.
后来,一天早晨,地上覆盖了一层新雪,我能够看见后花园外边雪中的脚印。
i went out to look at them more carefully. they were pop’s footprints!
我出去更加仔细地察看,是爸爸的脚印!
a minute later, i was running down the hill to judge thatcher’s house.
片刻之后,我跑下山来到了撒切尔法官家。
when he opened the door, i cried, ‘sir, i want you to take all my money. i want to give it to you.’
他打开门时,我叫喊着,“先生,我要你把我的钱都拿去。我想把钱送给你。”
?
他看上去很惊讶。“嗨,怎么回事?”
‘please, sir, take it! don’t ask me why!’
“先生,请收下,不要问我为什么!”
in the end, he said, ‘well, you can sell it to me, then.’ and he gave me a dollar and i wrote my name on a price of paper for him.
最后,他说,“好吧,你可以卖给我。”他给了我一个美元,我在一张纸上为他写上了我的名字。
