三年级下册短篇英语故事：有个婴儿在农场出生了
Adventure happen in all parts of the world, even in the mostly unlikely places. In the moors of England, live a young farmer and his wife. They have a small farm with pigs, goats and some cows.
世界上任何地方都会发生冒险事，即使是那些最不可能发生的地方也不例外。在英格兰的沼泽地住着一个农夫和他太太。他们有一块小农场，里头养着猪、山羊和一些母牛。
One morning when the wife went out to milk bessy the cow, she saw her lying in the hay looking sick. Bessy was pregnant. Bessy was going to give birth to her calf. There was a problem. The cow was in a lot of pain and the wife could see the baby calf kicking inside the mother. The calf was stuck!
一天早上，当农夫太太们出门去母牛贝西那边挤奶时，看到贝西躺在干草堆上，看起来好像生了病。原来贝西怀孕了，她的小牛即将出生。不过有个问题就是，母牛贝西看起来痛苦万分，农夫太太看到原来是小牛在妈妈肚子里面踢来踢去。小牛卡住了!
What could she do to help! She pushed against the belly of the cow, thinking perhaps the pressure would squeeze the baby out like toothpaste from a tube. This caused more pain for the cow.
她可以帮上什么忙呢?她在母牛肚子上推了又推，心想或许用力压可以把小牛像从牙膏筒挤牙膏一样，把它挤出来，结果这样一来母牛更痛了。
There was one thing the women could do. She rolled up her sleeves and put her arm inside the cow. She felt around for the baby. She felt its legs and then its head.
农夫太太现在只有一件事可做。她卷起袖子，把手伸进母牛肚子里;她摸到小牛了，也摸到腿和头所在的位置。
She grabbed the little calf's head and pulled it out. Soon, the calf was out of the mother and she was licking it tenderly. The wife told her husband all about her adventure that day.
于是她抓住小牛的头往外拉，小牛很快便从妈妈肚子里被拉了出来，母牛则温柔地舔着它。农夫太太把那天冒险的事情全部告诉了她丈夫。
