一天，  杰弗瑞早早地回了家。他坐在一棵能找到的最大的树下面，再也不想去游乐场了。

"I am too big to play with my friends," said Jeffery to himself.

“我长得太高，根本不能和我的朋友一起玩儿，”杰弗瑞自言自语地说。

"Hi, my name is Eddy. I’m new here. Do you want to play with me?" Jeffery didn’t look up.

“嗨！我的名字是艾迪，新来的。你想要和我一起玩儿吗？”杰弗瑞没有向上看。

He kept his head hidden in his hands. "I’m too big to play with anyone," cried Jeffery.

他仍然把头埋在双手之间。“我太高了，不能和任何人一起玩，”杰弗瑞喊道。

"I don’t think you’re that big," said Eddy.

“我觉得你并没有那么高啊，”艾迪说。

"Really?" asked Jeffery hopefully.

“真的？”杰弗瑞满怀希望地问。

"Yes, really," said Eddy. "You’re big like me."

“是真的，”艾迪说。“你像我一样高大。”

Jeffery took his head out of his hands.

杰弗瑞从手臂中抬起头来。

"Oh, hi, "said Jeffery shyly. "My name is Jeffery."

“噢，嗨，”他害羞地说。“我的名字是杰弗瑞。”

Eddy smiled. "See, I am big. Why were you crying, Jeffery?"

艾迪笑道。“看，我也很高。你为什么要哭，杰弗瑞？”

"Oh, I was crying because I am too big to play with my friends."

“噢，因为我太高了，不能和我的朋友一起玩。”

"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."

“你并不是十分高，”艾迪说。“只不过他们的游戏太小了。让我们一起去游乐场，我将让你看看，如何使他们的游戏变大。”
