Pirates Treasure
“Ten steps from the porch（门廊） and twenty steps from the rose bushes,” growled Bluebeard in Jimmy‘s dream one night. “There be treasure there! .”
So the next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the dirt pile was high.
He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher.
He dug until the hole was deepest and the dirt pile was at its highest. He sighed. “I‘m too tired. I can‘t dig anymore.” Then he spied something… but it was only one of Woofy‘s bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy had was a dog bone, a hole, and a big pile of dirt to fill it in with. He thought “That pirate lied to me!”
But when Jimmy‘s mother saw what he had done, she clasped（紧抱，扣紧） her hands and smiled a smile from here to Sunday. “Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron（杜鹃） bush planted just there. Here‘s $5.00 for digging that hole.”

海盗的财富
“距离走廊十步、距离玫瑰丛二十步”一夜蓝胡子在吉米睡着时咆哮着。”那里有宝藏！”
所以第二天吉米开始挖。他挖了个深洞和泥土堆得很高。
他不停地挖。坑很深，土堆得很高。
他直到把洞挖的很深、土堆得不能再高才停下。他叹了口气。”我好累。我不能再挖了。”然后他开始搜索…但这里仅仅有一块骨头。没有宝藏，吉米所得到的是一块狗骨头，一个洞，和一大堆土在。他想：“那个海盗欺骗了我！”
但当吉米的妈妈看到他所做的一切，她把（紧抱，扣紧）她的手笑着笑着从这里到星期日。”哦，谢谢你，吉米。我一直想要在这里种一个杜鹃（布什。这里是为你挖那个洞的5美元。”
